Silvercorp Metals Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Silvercorp") announced the results of the first 29 borehole tests at its Chatat Kyzyltash gold mine in Kyrgyzstan. The data shows that the deposit has good continuity of the main ore body and high grades in some areas, demonstrating significant resource potential. Currently, the company is accelerating its transformation into a diversified precious metals producer, leveraging solid exploration results and a clear development path.

The Tajik Geological Survey stated that newly discovered rare earth metals tantalum and niobium deposits in Tajikistan could reshape the country's mining industry and economic prospects.

From the second quarter to July 2026, Chinese capital intensively launched several large-scale investment projects in the fields of copper and aluminum mineral exploration, green smelting, and deep processing in the five Central Asian countries, covering core resource countries such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The investment logic is deeply aligned with the industrial orientation of Central Asian countries to restrict the export of primary minerals and extend the metallurgical industry chain. Relying on the cross-border logistics of the Belt and Road Initiative and the customs clearance advantages of the Khorgos Port, a complete supply chain system of "local mining of minerals in Central Asia - local smelting and processing - port return for domestic sales + Eurasian export" has been gradually built.
