Western Mining announced its results for the first quarter of 2021. Of this total, the operating income was 8.393 billion yuan, an increase of 38% over the same period last year, mainly due to the rise in the volume and price of the company's copper products in the current period, and the net profit belonging to listed shareholders was 475 million yuan, an increase of 869% over the same period last year. The overall performance exceeded expectations.
The reconstruction and expansion project of Yulong Copper Mine was fully completed and put into production at the end of last year, and the production capacity of copper plate is gradually expanding. Coupled with the continued high copper prices so far this year, the company's performance has shown a trend of rapid growth.
Western Mining has fallen since it was estimated to rise to a high of 19.86 a share in late February, closing up 2.82 per cent after intraday shocks yesterday. However, the stock price plunged sharply after the opening of trading today, falling by 4% as of 950, with a large outflow of the main force, which may be related to the fluctuation of related metal prices and the approaching holidays.

At the same time, using the world's advanced smelting technology, a smelting system with a capacity of 150000 tons of copper and 100000 tons of lead and zinc has been formed.
