TC/RC schedules are agreed per contract referencing current annual benchmarks. We work with smelters in Korea, Japan, China, and Europe, and can route through Hong Kong free port for value-added storage / re-export when needed.

Lead-Zinc FAQ

Do you supply ore or concentrate?
Both. We routinely supply Pb concentrate (Pb 50–60%) and Zn concentrate (Zn 48–55%) for direct smelter feed. Run-of-mine lead-zinc ore (Pb 2–8% / Zn 4–12%) is also available for buyers with on-site flotation capability or those running blended feed strategies.
How is the price calculated?
Lead concentrate is priced on contained payable Pb at LME M+1 less treatment charge (TC) and refining charge (RC), with credits for Ag (typically payable 95% above 30 g/t). Zinc concentrate uses Zn LME M+1 less TC. Run-of-mine ore is priced on a per-ton basis with metallurgical balance accepted by buyer.
What about silver and gold credits?
Polymetallic deposits in Kazakhstan routinely carry Ag credits of 50–250 g/t and modest Au credits. Silver is typically payable above a 30–50 g/t deduction at 90–95% of LBMA price. Gold credits are typically settled in Pb concentrate at 75–90% payable above 1 g/t.
