General	This is an electrolytic zinc refinery located in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia Autonomous region, People’s Republic of China, about 500 km north-east of Beijing. As a first step for potential future investment in the People’s Republic of China, Exxaro established an equity joint venture with an existing refinery facility and the Baiyinnuoer lead and zinc mine as a major supplier of feedstock. Exxaro has a 60% shareholding in phase 2 of this venture and a 30% economic interest in the expanded operation. The joint venture recently expanded capacity from 24ktpa of zinc to 50ktpa (phase 2). The expanded operation reached design capacity of 48ktpa at the start of 2005, aiming, through continuous improvement, to reach production of 50ktpa by the end of 2007. A decision has been made to participate in the Chifeng phase 3 expansion, in which smelter capacity will be increased further to 110ktpa. Exxaro will participate in the expansion by swapping some of its shareholding in Phase 2 company into the new Phase 3 company.
