The company's total sales volume for the first half of the year decreased by 7.4% to 53,043 metric tons as compared to the same period of 2004 in line with the lower market demand. The main factors for the increase in net profit despite the lower sales volume are the higher LME zinc price in 2005 and the increased input of silicate ore from Mae Sot mine.
