Note 3: The benefits achieved by the Guizhou West Base 80,000-Ton-Per-Year Nickel Sulfate Project in 2025 were lower than the committed post-full-capacity |
benefits, mainly due to a decline in nickel sulfate prices in 2025, and the Company adjusted its raw material structure while considering its overall | operational efficiency, resulting in the project output failing to meet expectations. | Note 4: The benefits achieved by the Guizhou Kaiyang Base 200,000-Ton-Per-Year Phosphate Iron Project in 2025 were lower than the committed |
post-full-capacity benefits, mainly because 2025 is the first year of production and operation, during which the project is in the capacity ramp-up | phase and has not yet reached full capacity, although the loss has decreased compared to the same period last year. | Explanation of significant changes in project feasibility No significant changes in project feasibility |
