Our story

A company built
around the resource.

SCM brings a significant Lao baryte deposit together with the expertise and infrastructure to serve international markets.

Registered and operating in Lao PDR since April 2014, Shanghai Chongming Minerals Lao Company Limited has developed an integrated operation spanning extraction, washing, screening, milling and export logistics.

Our geological resource is supported by international exploration and professional mine planning. At Pha Yai, washing and grade separation prepare ore for supply as lump or for further processing into powder.

Our long-term approach is reflected in established relationships across the oil and gas industry, including Halliburton Baroid and Sojitz Corporation of America.
