祥龙摆尾，，，金蛇开元。。在喜迎2025年元旦之际，，，我谨代表UPAY钱包官方网站向奋战在全球的宽大UPAY钱包官方网站人及眷属致以亲切的问候和崇高的敬意！！向所有关切、支持和援手UPAY钱包官方网站矿业的列国当局和社区人民、投资者与各界伴侣及宽大合作者暗示真挚的感激和美好的祝福！！

As we embrace 2025, the Year of the Snake, I wish you all a happy New Year. On behalf of Zijin Mining, I would like to thank our employees and their families for their dedication and support，，，as well as all our stakeholders—including host governments and communities, shareholders, and contractors—for their trust and partnership.

“道有夷险，，，履之者知”。。2024打开了UPAY钱包官方网站矿业 30周年后再启程的“新篇章”，，，UPAY钱包官方网站人不畏艰苦，，，创新创制，，，新五年开门画卷写下了杰出的序章！！

“Only those who tread the path know its smooth and rough patches.” This ancient saying rings true as we reflect on 2024—a year in which we embarked on a new chapter for Zijin Mining following our 30th anniversary last year. Driven by innovation and devotion, undeterred by challenges, we began our new five-year journey on a strong note.

我们再创佳绩——重要矿产品产量和经营指标创汗青新高。？？？蟛吭2023年突破百万吨大关的基础上维持优良增长势头，，，矿产金产量持续发力增速名列全球同业前茅，，，成本上升趋向得到有效遏制，，，公司前三季度归母净利润实现244亿元，，，同比增长达51%；；；公司岁暮总市值4019亿元，，，同比增长25%，，，居A股市值第26位。。UPAY钱包官方网站全球竞争力及行业职位进一步提升。。

We again delivered robust performance. Our commodity outputs and financial performance hit new records. Building on last year’s milestone of more than one million tonnes, our mined copper output grew steadily. In gold production, we achieved faster growth than most of our global peers. Meanwhile, we successfully curbed rising costs. In the first three quarters, our net attributable profit jumped by 51% year-on-year to RMB 24.4 billion. By the end of 2024, our market capitalization increased by 25% year-on-year to RMB 401.9 billion, ranking 26th in the A-share market and further enhancing our industry standing and global competitiveness.

我们增长可期——世界级增量项目建设跑出新的“加快度”。。刚果（金）卡莫阿铜矿三期提前半年建成投产，，，达产后矿产铜将提升至60万吨以上，，，成为非洲最大、全球第三大铜矿，，，配套的50万吨非洲最大铜冶炼厂将在2025年上半年投产；；；塞尔维亚佩吉铜金矿上矿带新增3000吨/日选厂技改提前两个月竣工并成功试车，，，下矿带和JM铜矿崩落法采矿前期工作全面提速；；；巨龙铜矿新增二期20万吨/日（一期15万吨/日）扩建工程加紧建设，，，力争2025年底投产；；；朱诺铜矿项目建设获核准，，，争取2026年6月建成投产。。萨瓦亚尔顿金矿建成投产，，，贵州UPAY钱包官方网站、山西UPAY钱包官方网站、哥伦比亚大陆黄金、澳大利亚诺顿金田等项目技改扩建，，，将推动黄金产能进一步提升。。 

We laid the foundation for further growth. We advanced our incremental projects at world-class assets. In the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC), Phase III of the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Mine was put into production six months ahead of schedule. When it reaches design capacity, Kamoa-Kakula’s overall mined copper output will top 600,000 tonnes, making it the largest copper mine in Africa and the fourth largest globally. Its 500,000 tonne-per-annum smelter, set to be the largest in Africa, is scheduled for startup in the first half of 2025. In Serbia, the ?ukaru-Peki Copper-Gold mine’s concentrator expansion increased daily throughput by 3,000 tonnes and was commissioned two months ahead of schedule. We have also stepped up preparatory work for block caving at the lower zone of ?ukaru-Peki and the Jama Copper Mine in the country.

In China, the Phase II expansion of our Julong Copper Mine is progressing smoothly. Aiming to begin production by the end of 2025, it will add 200,000 tonnes of daily throughput to the existing Phase I capacity of 150,000 tonnes. Construction permits have been obtained for the Zhunuo Copper Mine, with production targeted to commence in June 2026.

At the same time, our gold output is poised for further growth, driven by the newly operational Sawaya’erdun Gold Mine and expansion projects across multiple operations, including Guizhou Zijin and Shanxi Zijin in China, the Buriticá Gold Mine in Colombia, and Norton Gold Fields in Australia.

我们并购增储——矿产资源斩获丰硕成就。。实现对大型在产的加纳Akyem金矿和秘鲁La Arena铜金矿的收购，，，新增资源储量金293吨、铜279万吨。。公司自主找矿勘探喜报频传，，，巨龙铜矿登记铜金属资源量超过2500万吨，，，多宝山矿田铜山铜矿深部新增登记铜金属资源量365万吨，，，塞尔维亚Timok成矿带深部新发现大型品位较高的玛格铜金矿床，，，刚果（金）马诺诺锂矿东北矿段探明大型优质硬岩锂矿。。

We grew our resource base through acquisition and exploration. This year, our efforts in resource expansion have yielded outstanding results. We acquired the Akyem Gold Mine in Ghana, a large producing project, and the La Arena Copper-Gold Mine in Peru, adding 293 tonnes of gold resources and 2.79 million tonnes of copper resources to our portfolio. Our independent exploration programs have also borne rich fruit. As officially recognized through government filings, the Julong Copper Mine now holds over 25 million tonnes of copper resources, while the Duobaoshan project has added 3.65 million tonnes through a discovery at the depth of the Tongshan Copper Mine. In Serbia, we discovered the Malka Golaja deposit, a relatively high-grade copper-gold deposit situated at the depth of the Timok metallogenic belt. In the DRC, a large, high-quality hard-rock lithium deposit was identified in the northeastern section of the Manono Lithium Mine.

我们协同发展——金融、采购、物流、业务、建设、科技、ESG系统建设等方面获得系列功效，，，各板块协同发力，，，为公司“提质、控本、增效”做出了重要贡献。。在香港市排场向全球投资人成功“闪电”刊行20亿美元可转债和5亿美元H股股票，，，得到外洋市场的高度认可。。

We harnessed synergies across our business segments. We made strides in finance, procurement, logistics, trading, construction, technology, and ESG. Synergy across all segments contributed substantially to our push to improve quality, control costs, and boost profitability. Notably, in the Hong Kong securities market, we issued US$ 2 billion in convertible bonds and US$ 500 million in H-shares within a very short space of time, reflecting strong recognition by global investors.

我们鼎新创新——全球化运营治理系统建设加快推动。。集团公司设立了国际事业治理委员会，，，国际事业部及外洋运营中心迁徙至塞尔维亚贝尔格莱德，，，外洋运营治理能力得到显著提升。。公司颁布新五年规划雄伟指标，，，力争至2028年重要经济指标和主营矿产品产量进入全球前3-5位。。

We restructured and embraced new targets. Efforts to improve our global operational and management system have gained momentum: At the headquarters, we established the Overseas Operations Management Committee, while the Overseas Operations Department and the Overseas Operations Center were moved to Belgrade, Serbia. These steps have boosted our capabilities to manage overseas assets. Furthermore, we unveiled an ambitious new five-year plan, aiming to rank among the top 3 to 5 mining companies globally in terms of financial performance and mineral output by 2028.

我们正视问题——公司当前业绩增长的重要驱动成分是矿产品价值高位运行，，，公司“日益全球化与局限的国内思想及治理方式之间的重要矛盾”解决过程滞后，，，中高级人才难以适应国际化高速发展，，，高素质技术工人欠缺与不适配人员充塞并存；；；ESG系统建设存在短板，，，安全出产距离性质安全有较大差距，，，重要领域凋落问题时有产生。。

We recognize the challenges we face. High commodity prices have been a major driver of our strong financial results. We have been slow in addressing the mismatch between our growing global footprint and our confined Chinese mindset and management style. Many top-tier and mid-level professionals often struggle to keep pace with our rapid global expansion, and we face a shortage of highly competent frontline technical workers. Meanwhile, individuals who are not the right fit for us remain in our workforce. Weaknesses in our ESG framework hinder progress and our safety management practices must be improved to achieve the standards of intrinsic safety. From time to time, corruption cases surface in critical areas of our business.

“百年未有之大变局”对当今大势作了最好的概括，，，世界在变、时期在变、人们观点也在变。。全球格局处于加快解构与重构的动荡中，，，国际社会经历着罕见的多重风险挑战，，，不确定性成分显著增长，，，严重影响社会不变和经济增长，，，世界经济或将陷入较持久滞胀。。

We are living in an era of great changes unseen in a century: the world, the times, and people’s perspectives are all evolving. Global power dynamics are being rapidly disrupted and reshaped, causing turbulence along the way. The international community is grappling with multi-faceted risks and challenges amid a sharp rise in uncertainty. As a result, social stability and economic growth are under serious strain and the global economy may enter a prolonged period of stagflation.

矿产作为工业和能源的“粮食”，，，供给安全成为大国重大关切；；；逆全球化及资源民族主义思潮涌动，，，供给链、产业链将面对严格考验。。中国工业化对矿产需要造就的超二十年“全球矿业超等周期”落下帷幕。。中国需要变动对全球矿产供需格局将产生重大影响，，，传统大量矿产将步入低增长甚至负增长时期。。

Minerals are the lifeblood of industry and energy. Mineral supply security has become a critical concern for world powers. De-globalization and resource nationalism are posing significant challenges to global supply and value chains. Meanwhile, the global mining super-cycle, fueled by China’s industrialization over the past two decades, has come to an end. Shifts in Chinese demand will profoundly impact the global market, resulting in slow or even negative growth for traditional commodities.

能源革命和智能化海潮席卷全球，，，深刻扭转人类出产生涯方式，，，催生大批新技术、新产业，，，关键新产业矿产需要大幅增长，，，但市场过度“内卷”及价值战，，，给业内企业带来极为严格挑战。。全球经济面对下行压力，，，矿业作为原资料产业生怕难以独善其身，，，需做好“过冬”筹备。。

The energy revolution and advances in artificial intelligence are sweeping across the globe, transforming how we live and work while giving rise to numerous new technologies and industries. This has triggered a surge in demand for minerals from emerging and strategic industries. However, companies in these value chains are plagued by excessive competition and fierce price wars. Amid downward pressure on the global economy, the mining sector—the provider of raw materials—will inevitably feel the impact and must brace for a cold winter ahead.

“志不求易者成，，，事不出亡者进”。。UPAY钱包官方网站矿业占有弘远的梦想和理想，，，我们将对峙“振奋有为、鼎新创新、高度适配、风险节制”的总体准则，，，进一步深刻贯彻“提质、控本、增效”工作总方针，，，持续提升比力竞争优势及全球竞争力，，，以价值创制者为本，，， 疤岚为人类美好生涯提供低碳矿物原料”的使命推向新高度。。

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. At Zijin Mining, we harbor an ambitious vision. We are committed to delivering results by leveraging reform, innovation, tailored systems, and risk control, while maintaining a strategic focus on quality, costs, and profitability. Guided by these principles, we will strengthen our comparative advantages and our global competitiveness and prioritize value creators, scaling new heights in our mission to supply “Greener Metals for a Brighter Future”.

——对峙全球化发展战术不颠簸。。UPAY钱包官方网站从前是、此刻是、将来仍会是“全球化”发展的坚定践行者，，，要坚韧好非洲、东南欧、南美洲和大洋洲等区域在产项目优势，，，加大中亚等中国周边地域投资布局，，，扩大国内重点区域资源勘查及投资开发力度。。当令在外洋布局资源资料新基地，，，健全美满全球物流及业务系统，，，加强供给链、资金链的矫捷性及安全性，，，提升UPAY钱包官方网站全球本钱及产业协同效能。。

Staying committed to our global strategy. Zijin will remain steadfast in pursuing global growth, as we have done so far. We will consolidate the strengths of our producing assets across Africa, Southeast Europe, South America, and Oceania, while increasing investment in China’s neighboring regions such as Central Asia. Within China, we will expand investment and exploration efforts in highly prospective regions. Furthermore, we plan to build overseas resource and material bases and optimize our global logistics and trading networks. These initiatives are designed to make our supply chains and capital flows more agile and secure, as well as to unlock greater synergy across our global capital allocation and business operations.

Driving capacity and profit gains. In the copper segment, we will accelerate the construction of the Zhunuo Copper Mine and Phase II of the Julong Copper Mine, while advancing preliminary studies for Phase III of Julong, which will increase the project’s combined throughput to 200 million tonnes per annum. We will promote the application of block caving at three projects: the ?ukaru Peki Copper-Gold Mine’s lower zone and the Jama Copper Mine in Serbia, and the Tongshan Copper Mine in Heilongjiang, China. In addition, we will ensure Phase III of Kamoa-Kakula in the DRC reaches nameplate capacity and plan for further expansions to achieve an annual output of 1 million tonnes of copper in the long term. Beginning from its early activities, we will set the standards high for the development of Phase II of the La Arena Copper Mine in Peru.

In the gold business, we will enhance our flagship operations, such as the Buriticá Gold Mine in Colombia; Rosebel Gold Mines in Suriname; Norton Gold Fields in Australia; and Longnan Zijin, Guizhou Zijin, and Shanxi Zijin in China. We will rapidly finalize the acquisition of the Akyem Gold Mine in Ghana and mold it into another major gold producer within Zijin. With construction underway at the Haiyu Gold Mine in Shandong, we will support efforts to develop it into the largest gold project in China.

In our lithium portfolio—comprising two lithium brine deposits and two hard-rock mines—we will strive for initial success in 2025 and deliver significant results within three years. This will position lithium as one of our key growth drivers and establish Zijin as one of the world’s leading lithium producers. In parallel, we will strengthen collaboration across all segments to maximize value creation and help transform majority- and part-owned public companies, such as Fujian Longking and Zhaojin Mining, into stronger, more dynamic businesses.

——强力破解现阶段重要矛盾。。我们要按国际规定构筑全球矿业人才荟萃高地，，，提升高层及重要中层国际化需要的适配度，，，提高外洋权属企业非中国籍高管和技术骨干比重；；；建设市场化国际化的人力资源系统，，，打造高素质产业工人行列，，，以价值创制者为本，，，共享发展成果。。加快建设UPAY钱包官方网站特色切合国际尺度的全球化运营治理系统，，，鼎新并美满适配外洋业务治理制度系统，，，通过信息化系统全面提升外洋运营治理、工程建设、采购物流等领域治理能力。。

Addressing our core challenge with determination. Based on international practices, we must develop Zijin into a hub of global mining talent. We will align the skills of our senior and key mid-level managers with the needs of our global operations and increase the proportion of non-Chinese executives and technical experts at our overseas affiliates. A market-based global HR system and a pool of well-trained blue-collar workers will be developed, with value creators prioritized as we share the fruits of our growth with our people. Simultaneously, we will fast-track the development of a Zijin-specific global operational and management system that is in line with international standards. This includes transforming and refining management structures and policies for our international business, while enhancing overseas operations, project construction, procurement, and logistics through the use of digital systems.
