Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. reported operating revenue of RMB254.2 billion (USD35.68 billion) for the first three quarters of 2025, up by 10.33% from the prior year period, according to its latest quarterly report.

In Q3 alone, mined gold output reached 24 tonnes, up by 7% quarter-on-quarter; mined copper output was 260,000 tonnes, down by 6% QoQ mainly due to the flooding incident at the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Mine in the DRC; mined silver output was 112 tonnes, down by 6% QoQ; and mined zinc output held steady at around 90,000 tonnes.
The company's lithium carbonate business also progressed steadily. Total output reached 11,000 tonnes in the first three quarters, including 3,700 tonnes from Zangge Mining since May 2025.
