Relying on the coordination of its production scheduling system, Jinchuan Group has been insisting on the idea of “preventing the pandemic, stabilizing production and maintaining security”. In the first three quarters of this year, 1.72 million tons of nonferrous metals and deep-processed products were produced, with a year-on-year growth of 10.63%; the production of nickel products was 158,100 tons, achieving a 7.48% year-on-year increase; the production of cathode copper was 820,500 tons, seeing a year-on-year growth of 6.86%.

On September 13, the flash furnace system of the nickel smelter of Jinchuan Group was ignited successfully following its maintenance. This was another comprehensive upgrade and maintenance of the flash furnace system, following the cold repair in 2010. The process was completed 3 days ahead of schedule, creating a new record in the cold repair of a nickel flash furnace in the past 30 years. Following the overhaul, the annual handling capacity of nickel concentrate in the flash furnace system has increased to 850,000 tons, and the handling capacity of dry concentrate in the reaction tower increased to 100 tons per hour, laying a solid foundation for the high-quality completion of Jinchuan Group's scale-multiplication plan during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period.
