The development of nonferrous metal mineral resources is the core business and primary pillar of growth for China Nonferrous Metal Mining (Group) Co., Ltd. (CNMC). The company currently controls 28 mining-related projects both in China and abroad, with a total of 18.34 million tonnes of mineral reserves in major nonferrous metals. This includes 11.29 million tonnes of copper, 5.96 million tonnes of lead and zinc, 470,000 tonnes of cobalt, 340,000 tonnes of nickel, and 290,000 tonnes of tungsten, tin, and molybdenum combined. CNMC has established a complete industrial chain encompassing mineral exploration, mining, beneficiation, and smelting, with a total annual copper smelting capacity of nearly 1.7 million tonnes. The Group holds 39 mining rights across China and internationally, covering a total area of 1,198 square kilometers, of which 1,176 square kilometers are located abroad—in countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Zambia, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Myanmar, and Indonesia.

CNMC has been actively developing a presence in the upstream of the industrial chain, targeting high-end segments of the value chain, and promoting the expansion of the entire materials industry. It has established a diversified "one core, two wings" structure—centered on copper, tin, zinc, nickel, cobalt, tantalum, niobium, beryllium and other base and alloy materials, complemented by rare metals such as titanium, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium, as well as precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, rhodium, and palladium, along with materials for the new energy sector and new functional crystal materials—thus creating new engines of economic growth for CNMC.

CNMC places technological innovation at the heart of its overall development strategy. The Group has established a science and technology association, which includes an academic committee and a technical committee, while continuously increasing its investment and intensifying research and development for technological innovation. As of the end of 2024, CNMC held 1,492 valid patents, including 742 invention patents, and has published 6 international standards, 64 national standards, and 120 industry standards.

Engineering construction has long been a core business of CNMC. The Group owns a number of leading enterprises in the sector, including China Nonferrous Metal Industry's Foreign Engineering and Construction Co., Ltd. (NFC) and China 15th Metallurgical Construction Group Co., Ltd., forming a strong full-service engineering chain encompassing construction, design, and project supervision, and winning widespread recognition both in China and abroad.

CNMC has built a complete industrial chain for nonferrous metals and leverages its strengths in international trade, investment platforms, financial management, insurance, as well as other services to provide strong support for the steady and sustainable growth of its core resource and engineering businesses.
