Deyuan joins CESCO Week 2025 and the CEO Roundtable

In April 2025, Deyuan Group was invited to CESCO Week in Santiago, Chile — the copper industry's most important annual gathering, bringing together miners, smelters, traders and technology providers from across the global copper value chain.

As part of the programme, Deyuan took a seat at the CEO Roundtable, joining industry leaders to discuss the trends shaping copper: the demand pull from electrification and the clean-energy transition, supply-side constraints on new projects, and how solvent-extraction technology continues to raise recovery and lower cost.

Deyuan attended from a dual vantage point. As a manufacturer of copper extractants — led by our DY984N complexed ketoxime–aldoxime — we supply the chemistry that runs SX-EW circuits. As the investor behind our own 10,000 t/yr hydrometallurgical copper plant in Zambia, we also sit on the operator side of the table.

The conversations reinforced our conviction that reagent innovation and process know-how travel together. We left Santiago with a clearer view of the industry's direction — and a strengthened commitment to serving copper producers worldwide.
