On March 22, Zijin Gold International Co., Ltd. (02259.HK) released its 2025 results, with revenue rising 80% year on year to approximately US$5.38 billion and net profit attributable to shareholders surging 233% to approximately US$1.6 billion. This strong performance was driven by a significant increase in gold prices, contributions from newly acquired mines, and efficiency and profitability gains at its mature assets.

For the year, the company’s mined gold production grew 20% year-on-year to 46.9 tonnes, while net cash inflow from operating activities jumped 174% to approximately US$2.4 billion.

Clear growth pipeline

The company is advancing de-bottlenecking and expansion projects at a number of its core mines, supporting a clear volume growth trajectory. It expects mined gold production to reach approximately 59.2 tonnes in 2026 and around 70 to 75 tonnes in 2028, reflecting substantial room for further growth.

At the Akyem Gold Mine in Ghana, the company is progressing an expansion project and an enlargement of its tailings storage facilities. As a result, processing throughput is set to increase to approximately 13 million tonnes per annum. Upon full ramp-up, annual gold output is expected to rise to around 13 tonnes, positioning Akyem as a key gold production base in West Africa.

At the Raygorodok Gold Mine in Kazakhstan, the company is advancing a 10 million-tonne-per-annum expansion project, which will boost total processing throughput to approximately 16 million tonnes per annum and annual gold output to around 11 tonnes accordingly.

Suriname-based Rosebel Gold Mines is progressing a mining and processing project at the Saramacca pit and a de-bottlenecking project for the operation’s existing processing plant. These projects will help increase total processing capacity to approximately 18 million tonnes per annum and annual gold output to around 12 tonnes.

As of December 31, 2025, the company held approximately 1,972 tonnes of gold resources and 917 tonnes of gold reserves, providing adequate resources for its sustainable growth.

Responsible, eco-friendly mining

The company remains committed to responsible mining and has embedded ESG principles into its strategy and operations. In 2025, no major environmental impact incidents were recorded at its mines. Moreover, these operations complied fully with required standards for wastewater and off-gas treatment and discharge, solid waste disposal, remedial efforts against environmental risks, and implementation of environmental monitoring plans.

The company is also actively increasing the use of clean energy at its mine sites, adopting integrated solar power generation and energy storage solutions tailored to site conditions. Through these initiatives, it continues to put its green mining philosophy into practice, contributing to the global drive for net-zero emissions.
