en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 26, at the main forum of the 2026 SMM (14th) Minor Metals Industry Conference, hosted by Shanghai Metals Market Information Technology Co., Ltd. (SMM) and sponsored by Guangxi Yusheng Germanium Industry High-Tech Co., Ltd., Jin Ying, Deputy Director of the Investment Promotion Department of the Guizhou Changming Economic Development Zone Management Committee, delivered a presentation themed "Guiding: A Treasure Land in Central Guizhou, Radiant with Non-Ferrous Metals," promoting the local industrial development, business environment, and investment policies of Guiding County.

Located in central Guizhou, Guiding boasts a well-developed transportation network. In terms of expressways, the Yupans, Hukun, Guiping, Xiarong, and Duxiang expressways form the horizontal backbone. Railways include the Shanghai-Kunming, Guiyang-Guangzhou High-Speed, Guiyang-Nanning High-Speed, and Guizhou-Guangxi railways. The vertical main axis consists of National Highway G210, Provincial Highway S207 (Guiding-Changming), and the Guichang Avenue, stretching from Dexin and the county seat in the north, southward to the Guizhou Changming Economic Development Zone and extending to Yunwu Town, connecting the county's living area, the Changming non-ferrous metal deep processing base, and the southern mineral resource zone, achieving full connectivity among mining areas, smelters, deep processing parks, and logistics hubs.

Since the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Guizhou Province has been comprehensively advancing the "Strengthening Provincial Capital" strategy. Guiding has been incorporated into the core circle of the Central Guizhou Urban Agglomeration, the Guiyang "Fourth Ring" Expressway Urban Economic Circle, and the strategic development scope of the Guiyang Eastern Center (two districts and two counties), officially embarking on a path of integrated urban development with the provincial capital, Guiyang.

In terms of mineral resources, Guiding has prominent advantages in zinc and germanium ores, with large resource reserves, high metallogenic degree and enrichment of associated germanium ore, and the potential to form super-large germanium deposits. Proven zinc ore reserves stand at 12.6 million tons, accounting for 21% of the national reserves according to the "2024 Natural Resources Bulletin." Surrounding bauxite reserves are substantial; Guizhou Province ranks third nationally in bauxite reserves, with predicted total resources exceeding 1 billion tons, primarily high-alumina, high-silica bauxite, mainly distributed in the Central Guizhou Uplift area, which is a 1 to 2-hour drive from Guiding. The Shengchang Aluminum Industrial Park has established a 100,000-ton annual recycled aluminum project, forming a closed-loop cycle of "recycled aluminum—direct supply of molten aluminum—deep processing." Guiding's silica ore reserves reach 1.344 billion tons, with a grade as high as 99%, which can be directly processed into photovoltaic sand and silicon-based materials. Leveraging this advantage, the local area is promoting the deep integration of the silicon and aluminum industry chains, developing high-end products such as silicon-aluminum alloys and aluminum-based composite materials, and entering fields such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaics, and electronic appliances.

In terms of industry, Guiding's aluminum industry chain has formed a complete closed loop. To date, 13 non-ferrous metal industry enterprises, including Shengchang Aluminum, Chengbo Metal, Weijing Machinery, and Zhengte New Materials, have been attracted to settle in the area. Among them, 12 projects are in operation, 3 are under construction, and 1 is planned. Regarding industrial platforms, the Guizhou Changming Economic Development Zone has a planned area of 7.57 square kilometers, with complete supporting facilities for water, electricity, roads, gas, and communications. Standard factory buildings are supplied on demand, and "seven connections and one leveling" is fully covered. The Shengchang Aluminum Industrial Park has built a large-scale industrial cluster covering 300 mu (approximately 20 hectares) with a building area of 200,000 square meters. The second phase, covering 68.89 mu (approximately 4.6 hectares), has been leveled, forming a mature carrying system with exclusive plots, customized factories, and full-cycle supporting facilities. Core products include architectural aluminum profiles, industrial aluminum profiles, precision aluminum castings, aluminum alloy wheels, new energy vehicle parts, smart doors and windows, and aluminum household items, widely used in new energy, automobile manufacturing, photovoltaics, and other fields.

In terms of the market, the new energy market in Southwest China is accelerating its boom. Guizhou has introduced leading enterprises such as CATL and BYD, and cultivated listed companies like CNGR Advanced Materials and Zhenhua New Materials. The new energy battery and automobile industry cluster is taking shape, leading to a surge in demand for high-end components. The development of expressways, rail transit, aerospace, and military industries in Southwest China is driving continuous growth in demand for industrial aluminum profiles, precision aluminum castings, and lightweight aluminum products. Leveraging the Guangdong-Guizhou collaboration, Guiding's aluminum products can be directly supplied to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and exported overseas. Relying on its geographical advantages, enterprises can quickly radiate to southwestern markets such as Yunnan, Sichuan, and Chongqing, achieving two-way empowerment.

In terms of services, Guiding leverages policies such as the Western Development Strategy and industrial transfer, providing multiple supports including tax reductions, land guarantees, electricity price concessions, equipment subsidies, and logistics assistance. The local government has launched a "County Party Secretary Direct Enterprise Service Hotline," established a 24-hour demand response mechanism and a dedicated one-on-one task force for key projects, and implemented a list-based closed-loop management system, aiming to achieve "enterprise affairs handled within the park, demands resolved overnight."
