Mitsui Kinzoku Company, Limited (JP3888400003) plans 117,700 metric tons of refined zinc production in the second half of fiscal 2026, up 32.00 percent from 89,200 metric tons in the same period of fiscal 2025. The production plan dated October 1, 2026 gives investors a concrete operating indicator after maintenance work affected the first half.

Zinc output rises after maintenance

According to Mitsui Kinzoku in its October 1, 2026 production plan, zinc output is forecast at 117,700 metric tons, compared with 98,500 metric tons forecast for the first half of fiscal 2026. The document attributes the higher second-half plan to regular maintenance completed during the first half.

The same plan puts lead production at 38,100 metric tons in the second half of fiscal 2026, versus 35,300 metric tons in the second half of fiscal 2025. Gold is planned at 0.50 tons, while silver is planned at 55.00 tons against 57.00 tons a year earlier, showing that the increase is concentrated in base metals.

Quarterly earnings set the baseline

Mitsui Kinzoku reported revenue of JPY 201.6 billion and net income of JPY 16.8 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, according to Simply Wall St on October 4, 2026. Revenue increased 19.00 percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2026, while the company moved from a JPY 5.97 billion loss to profit.

That result gives the production plan a useful operating backdrop. Materials demand and plant utilization remain central to the earnings profile because the company supplies electronic materials, copper foil, battery materials, catalysts and nonferrous metals. The first-quarter revenue comparison is positive, but the planned output mix shows that precious-metal volumes are moving differently from zinc and lead.
