SMM9 March 7: Zijin Mining rose more than 4% in morning trading, up nearly 7.50 yuan, Hong Kong stock (2899.HK) as high as nearly HK $6, the share price refreshed more than a decade high. Industry agencies reported that Zijin Mining's medium-term results were better than expected and were considered to be the first choice among gold mining stocks, rated as "overweight". It is reported that 14 shares have been increased by senior executives, and Zijin Mining has received the largest increase. Statistics show that a total of 14 listed companies' shares were increased by senior executives from August 19 to September 1. From the perspective of the amount of increase, the largest increase in the past 10 days is Zijin Mining, with a cumulative increase of 5 million shares, totaling 27.43 million yuan.

According to the semi-annual report of Zijin Mining, its sales revenue in the first half of the year was 83.142 billion yuan, an increase of 23.73% over the same period last year (same period last year: 67.198 billion yuan), and the net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company was 2.421 billion yuan, an increase of 30.64% (year-on-year period: 1.853 billion yuan). As at the end of June 2020, the total assets of the Group were 149.805 billion yuan, an increase of 20.98% over the beginning of the year (beginning of the year: 123.831 billion yuan).

Zijin Mining continued to make efforts in the gold plate in the first half of the year. Under the circumstances that the mining rights of the Bogera gold mine continued to be blocked and stopped production, it realized 20.24 tons of mineral gold, an increase of 5.93% over the same period last year, and the gross profit of the gold plate accounted for 38.60% of the group's gross profit. Among them, Colombia's Wulitika Gold Mine successfully completed the takeover and put into production, and the contributions of Norton Jintian, Hunchun Zijin and Guizhou Zijin increased. The copper plate maintained a high growth trend, achieving 230700 tons of mineral copper, an increase of 34.85% over the same period last year. Gross profit accounted for 37.35% of the group's gross profit, among which Musonoi, Serbian Zijin Copper and Duobaoshan Copper achieved substantial "double super" output profits.

Data show that Zijin Mining, as a large multinational mining group, is mainly engaged in the exploration and development of gold, copper, zinc and other mineral resources and technological research around the world, and appropriately extends the business of smelting, processing and trade, and has a relatively complete industrial chain. The company has important mining investment projects in 14 provinces (autonomous regions) and 12 overseas countries, and most of the overseas projects are located in the countries along the "Belt and Road Initiative" route.

Greenland Mines Completes 104.8-Tonne Bulk Sampling Programme at Skaergaard PGM Project
[SMM Flash] Greenland Mines has completed a 104.8-tonne bulk-sampling programme across seven sites at its Skaergaard palladium-platinum-gold project in East Greenland. The samples are being prepared for large-scale and pilot-scale metallurgical testwork at GTK Mintec in Finland, while the company continues engineering, processing, infrastructure and waste-management studies aimed at advancing the project's technical evaluation. Skaergaard's S-K 1300 resource currently comprises approximately 15.0 million oz PdEq Indicated and 17.49 million oz PdEq Inferred, according to Greenland Mines. The bulk-testing programme represents an important step in evaluating processing and recovery options for one of the larger undeveloped palladium-platinum-gold systems outside the major South African, Zimbabwean and Russian supply regions. However, the reported Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and the latest programme does not constitute a development or commercial production decision.

Two Rivers Advances Validation Work for Merensky Project, Potential Output at 182,000 6E oz/year
[SMM Flash] Two Rivers, the South African PGM joint venture between African Rainbow Minerals and Impala Platinum, is advancing technical validation work for its Merensky project on the eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex. Early-works capital was approved during FY2026 to complete studies required to determine the project's way forward. The Merensky concentrator was commissioned during the six months to December 2024 but was subsequently placed on care and maintenance amid challenging PGM market conditions. The project has a stated capital cost of approximately R7.3 billion and is designed to produce around 182,000 6E PGM oz/year at steady state, alongside approximately 1,600 tonnes/year of nickel and 1,300 tonnes/year of copper. A restart could therefore provide meaningful incremental PGM supply from an existing South African operation. However, the project remains under technical validation and no restart date or final decision to resume production has been announced.
