ERG seeking more partnerships with Chinese companies

Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) has been exploring opportunities with strategic Chinese partners to cooperate on several big-ticket projects in a move to further grow its network in the country, its chairman said. ERG is an international metals and mining company.

Alexander Machkevitch, chairman of ERG, said there is significant potential for collaboration with Chinese companies on several projects worldwide.

One key endeavor is the second phase of ERG's Kazakhstan aluminum smelter. The new module, worth between $1 billion and $1.5 billion, can expand the annual capacity of the smelter by at least 300,000 metric tons, Machkevitch said in an exclusive interview with China Daily.
