Korea Zinc posts record Q2 profit on strong metals demand

Korea Zinc reported its highest-ever operating profit in the second quarter of 2025, reaching 587 billion won ($446 million), a 126.8% increase from the previous year. This growth was attributed to strong demand for key metals like silver, gold, zinc, and copper, with silver sales nearly tripling. The company also saw a significant rise in sales of strategic metals and semiconductor-grade sulfuric acid. Korea Zinc's first-half performance was equally impressive, with consolidated revenue up 62.5% to 12.45 trillion won and operating profit soaring 151.5% to 1.33 trillion won. The company plans to maintain its profitability and shareholder returns through continued investment and operational improvements.
