Recently, JCHX released 2025 Annual Report and ESG Report. The report shows that in 2025, JCHX was committed to the implementation of ESG practices, attained remarkable progresses in both Chinese and overseas markets, ensured steady growth in contract mining sector, and guaranteed increased production capacity and efficiency in respect of resources investment. The total turnover of 2025 achieves a year-on-year growth of 39.74%, with the proportion of that of overseas contract mining and resources investment increased to 77.38% of the total.
In 2025, JCHX continued to strengthen its efforts in global market expansion, and secured its first contracts for UG development and construction works at Mufulira mine in Zambia and UG production works at Khoemacau mine in Botswana. It achieved new breakthroughs after years of engagement in the African market, with its operation capabilities for international projects steadily enhanced. Its Ghana-based subsidiary was awarded the Best Mining Contractor at the 11th Ghana Mining Awards in December 2025, making it the only Chinese-funded enterprise to receive this honor in the year. This fully demonstrates the high recognition from authoritative local industry institutions of JCHX’s comprehensive strengths in safety management, quality control, compliant operation, production organization and technological innovation.
With capacity expansion in the resources investment sector and the sustained rally in copper prices, these factors have become the core drivers behind JCHX's performance growth. At Dikulushi Copper Mine in the DRC, production and operation works are conducted orderly, and key annual production targets, including annual ore production volume, extraction grade and copper equivalent volume, were fulfilled, hitting another record high. At Lonshi Copper Mine in the DRC, the extraction grade, processing recovery rate, copper in concentrate and cathode copper production are realized in line with the plan in the west area, and in the east area, sinking of the main shaft and auxiliary shaft progressed smoothly, and clearing and stripping of the tailings storage facility were completed. At Lubambe Copper Mine in Zambia, the annual target was achieved. To accelerate the progress of the Alacran copper-gold-silver deposit at the San Matias project in Colombia and to lead its subsequent development and construction, JCHX made an additional equity investment in the company of the San Matias copper-gold-silver project to acquire a controlling stake. The transaction was closed in March 2026, and it now holds 97.5% of CMH through its holding subsidiary. This investment is a significant step in JCHX's globalization strategy and a milestone in its transformation into a comprehensive resources investor.
In 2025, JCHX further integrated ESG management concepts into its corporate governance system, adopting a green and ecological mining process system as the overarching principle for mine construction and operation, striving for an optimal balance between efficient mine development and effective environmental protection. It continued to practice its social responsibilities by launching a series of public welfare programs tailored to the needs of local communities, including providing teaching facilities and supplies to local schools, constructing water wells, cultivating cornfields, building roads, and developing Lonshi border infrastructure. Through ongoing investments in education, healthcare, agriculture, public utilities, and infrastructure, JCHX shares the benefits of development with the neighboring communities.
At the 7th Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Awards ceremony hosted by CSR Network Zambia, Lubambe Copper Mine Limited, a subsidiary of JCHX, stood out among numerous evaluated companies for its outstanding contribution to supporting community education infrastructure development, winning the Corporate Social Responsibility Excellence Award in Educational Infrastructure Development. The infrastructure and supporting facilities for the Lonshi border authority in Zambia's Copperbelt Province, funded and constructed by JCHX, were officially handed over to the Zambian government and put into use in April 2025. Since 2022, in addition to providing subsidies to Lonshi school's teaching and administrative staff, Sabwe Mining SARL, another JCHX’s subsidiary, has donated desks, chairs, school uniforms, and other supplies to the teachers and students of the school in four separate batches. In May 2025, Sabwe made another donation of desks and chairs to the school, bringing the total number of donated and refurbished desks and chairs to over 400 sets.
In 2026, JCHX will continue to fully integrate ESG concepts into all aspects of its strategy formulation and operational execution. It will leverage a best-in-class governance system to drive sustainability, respond to stakeholders’ expectations, and foster a corporate image featuring compliant operation, standardized governance, strong accountability and reliable credibility.
