In a landmark agreement, Ganzhou HPY Technology Co., Ltd. has partnered with a Kazakhstan’s Shalkiya Industries , to deploy its groundbreaking Photon Series Sorting Equipment at the Shalkiya lead-zinc mine, the largest of its kind in Central Asia. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in AI-driven technological contributions to the Belt and Road Initiative, bringing cutting-edge innovation to global mineral processing.
Solving World-Class Mining Challenges
The Shalkiya lead-zinc mine, a core asset of Kazakhstan’s state-owned Tau-Ken Samruk, holds nearly 150 million tons of ore reserves. However, the mine’s complex mineral composition has long hindered traditional sorting efficiency.
HPY Technology’s Photon Series sorting solution represents a revolutionary breakthrough. Unlike conventional methods, this technology enables direct and precise detection of mineral components, effectively addressing the longstanding challenge of separating finely disseminated and difficult to detect ore types.
Key Benefits for Shalkiya Zinc Industry:
- Increased Recoverable Ore: The technology significantly boosts the proportion of economically viable metal extraction.
- Stable Output Quality: By ensuring precise sorting, it mitigates the impact of fluctuating ore grades.
- Enhanced Profitability & Risk Resilience: "Implementing photon technology will dramatically improve the mine’s profitability and risk resistance," stated Mr. Sagatovich, General Manager of Shalkiya.
A New Benchmark for China-Kazakhstan Cooperation
This project stands as a flagship example of Sino-Kazakh mining collaboration, representing a major step forward in technological and industrial cooperation between the two nations. It marks the first international deployment of Photon Series ore sorting technology, a breakthrough innovation developed by HPY for highly efficient mineral separation. By introducing this advanced system into Kazakhstan’s mining operations, the project not only enhances local processing capabilities but also demonstrates the growing global appeal and competitiveness of HPY’s products. It sets a precedent for future partnerships across Central Asia, where sustainable, intelligent mineral processing solutions are becoming increasingly vital to meet both economic and environmental goals.
HPY Technology’s collaboration with Shalkiya Lead-Zinc marks a defining moment in both technological advancement and international partnership. With the deployment of HPY’s cutting-edge photon sensor technology, capable of directly identifying lead-zinc elements and ore grades, the project eliminates the traditional guesswork of mineral processing. “This technology maximizes resource value and sets a new global standard for complex ore development,” stated Hugo He, CEO of HPY Technology.
Economic and Technological Innovation:
This initiative also serves as a powerful response to growing global demand for efficient and sustainable resource development. The successful deployment at Shalkiya validates the global applicability of HPY’s Photon Series technology, particularly for low-grade and complex ores. The planned 6-million-ton-per-year smart processing plant will act as a scalable model for future implementations, strengthening HPY’s position as a technological leader. As the only company worldwide offering photon-based systems capable of direct mineral composition detection, HPY has assembled a dedicated technical team to provide end-to-end support for the project.
At the signing ceremony, HPY’s leadership underscored their broader vision: “We’re not just selling equipment, we’re providing the key to redefining mineral value.” Chairman Hugo outlined three core beliefs guiding this strategy: that photon detection will replace X-ray as the global standard in mineral sorting; that this Central Asia project is the first step in building a worldwide smart mining network; and that, within three years, overseas business will account for over 60% of HPY’s total revenue.
The symbolic handshake between General Manager Mr. Sagatovich and CEO Mr. He marked more than a contractual agreement, it represented the beginning of a new era in AI-powered mining. As the Shalkiya project progresses, HPY remains committed to its mission:
“To ensure not a single ore in the world goes to waste.’
