Chinanews.com, Beijing, January 1 (Wang Mengyao) In the green power revolution, copper is the best metal for energy transmission. Recently, Zijin Mining released an output forecast saying that the company's mineral copper output will reach 8.2023 million tons in 101, becoming China's first million-ton mineral copper enterprise.
In addition, the company's main annual output of mineral gold was 67 tons and mineral zinc was 46,7 tons, an increase of 20% and 3% respectively.
According to reports, in recent years, Zijin Mining has successively acquired a number of world-class copper mining projects such as the Kamoa Copper Mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Julong Copper Mine in Tibet, the Borr Copper Mine in Serbia, and the Paigi Copper and Gold Mine in Serbia. With the support of these world-class projects, Zijin Mining's copper production has grown rapidly: 2017,20 tons in 2019, 30,2020 tons in 40, 2021,50 tons in 2022, 90,2023 tons in <>, and <>,<> tons in <>, benefiting from the stable production and increased production capacity of world-class copper mines. In <>, it will continue to maintain growth inertia, reaching the million ton level, and advancing to the top five in the world.
"Why can we achieve better results in 'going out'? The most important thing is that our innovation ability and technical ability are stronger. Chen Jinghe, chairman of Zijin Mining, pointed out.
It is understood that in the process of Zijin's globalization, five of them were loss-making projects that were originally operated by Western companies, but all of them turned losses into profits in a short period of time after Zijin took over.
For example, the Bor Copper Mine in Serbia, due to management, technology and other problems, this century-old mine is on the verge of bankruptcy, after Zijin became the owner, it focused on the main business of production, quickly solved the problems restricting the improvement of production capacity in all links, vigorously promoted technological transformation, and successfully achieved a turnaround in only half a year. At the same time, the Paigi copper-gold mine project in Serbia will take at least five years to be put into production according to the design plan of Western companies, but Zijin Mining has taken less than two years from acquisition, construction to production, which has greatly reduced the time cost.
"From prospecting, mining, mineral processing, smelting, environmental protection, the whole set of technology can be led by itself, we call it 'ore flow five rings into one' mining engineering management model, which is a kind of system thinking and the whole process of autonomy, so our speed is very fast. Many multinational mining companies in the West, in addition to prospecting and prospecting, rely on third-party consulting companies to do technology. ”
For long-term planning, Chen Jinghe said that it is accelerating the transformation of mineral resource advantages into economic and social benefits, and building a high-level ESG system in accordance with international advanced standards. (ENDS)
