BEIJING, May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc. ("China Shen Zhou" or the "Company") (NYSE AMEX: SHZ), a Company engaged in the exploration, development, mining and processing of fluorite, barite, zinc, copper, and other nonferrous metals in China, today announced that the Keyinbulake Mine of Xingzhen, a subsidiary of China Shen Zhou located in Buerjin County, Aletai District, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, has received positive feedback on the production of non-ferrous metals.
China Shen Zhou made positive progress after a few years exploring and prospecting the Keyinbulake Mine. Starting in the second quarter of 2012, the Keyinbulake Mine begins to process high-grade zinc ores and high-grade copper ores instead of only low-grade zinc ore as before.
Ms. Xiaojing Yu, the Chairwoman and CEO of China Shen Zhou, commented, "In recent years, our non-ferrous metals business has not kept up with our fluorite business in terms of financial performances. With Xingzhen beginning to process higher-priced and higher-margined zinc and copper ores, I am optimistic that our non-ferrous metals business is turning for the better and could become profitable for the year."
