Zijin Mining adjusts independent director nominations, seeks seventh board member

Zijin Mining Group Company held its 19th ad hoc meeting of the Eighth Board of Directors on December 9, 2025, to address a change in independent director nominations for the Ninth Board. The board initially approved the nomination of seven independent director candidates at its 18th ad hoc meeting on November 28, 2025.

However, on December 9, 2025, Zhang Yongtao withdrew his nomination due to personal work reasons. Consequently, the board resolved to cancel his nomination and adjust the list of independent director candidates to six individuals: Wu Xiaomin, Bo Shaochuan, Lin Shoukang, Qu Xiaohui, Hong Bo, and Wang Anjian.

According to the company's articles of association, the Ninth Board of Directors should comprise seven independent directors. Zijin Mining Group will promptly carry out the necessary by-election process to fill the remaining independent director position. The resolution was passed with 12 votes in favor, 0 against, and 0 abstentions and will be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for approval.
