Being the National Mining Company, we are now actively working on attracting investors. For example, in 2024, we managed to reach several conceptual agreements with our colleagues from the USA and South Korea. The focus of this co-operation is on the joint search for rare and rare earth elements and building sustainable supply chains.”
