Zijin Mining reports 55% profit surge, strategic growth in H1 2025

Zijin Mining Group Company Limited achieved a net profit of 28.645 bn yuan in the first half of 2025, marking a substantial 55% increase year-on-year. The company's total revenue grew by 11.50% to 167.711 bn yuan. This growth was underpinned by a strong performance in key mineral products, with copper production up 9% to 570,000 tonnes, and gold production rising 16% to 41 tonnes.

The company's asset base expanded, with total assets reaching 439.743 bn yuan, an 11% increase from the beginning of the year. This expansion was supported by strategic moves, including the acquisition of a controlling stake in Zangge Mining, which added potash and lithium resources, and the completion of the acquisition of the Akyem gold mine in Ghana. These initiatives highlight Zijin Mining's focus on diversifying its mineral portfolio and strengthening its global presence.

Zijin Mining is also actively pursuing sustainable development, with investments of 528m yuan in climate change projects and a 73% increase in renewable energy generation to 485 GWh. The company plans a 2025 interim dividend of 0.22 yuan per share, totaling 5.847 bn yuan, demonstrating its commitment to shareholder returns.
