Mainland China
MCC is a leading metallurgical construction contractor in China, responsible for building the majority of China's steel plants and related infrastructure. The company is also engaged in public infrastructure, including railways, highways, urban transport, and ecological remediation.
Saindak Copper-Gold Mine
MCC operates the Saindak Copper-Gold Project in Balochistan, Pakistan. The mine was originally built between 1990 and 1995 by predecessor entities within China Metallurgical Group Corporation, and began commercial production in 2002 under a lease agreement with the Pakistani government. The contract has since been extended multiple times, most recently until October 2022.
Mes Aynak Copper Project
In 2007, China Metallurgical Group Corporation, whose relevant assets were later injected into MCC upon listing, was awarded the development rights to the Mes Aynak copper mine in Afghanistan, one of the world's largest untapped copper deposits. The project has faced delays due to security concerns and archaeological preservation. As of 2021, full-scale construction had not begun.
Ramu Nickel-Cobalt Project
MCC, through its subsidiary Ramu NiCo Management (MCC) Limited, manages the Ramu Nickel Mine in Papua New Guinea. The project, valued at over US$1.4 billion, includes a nickel-cobalt mine and a high-pressure acid leach processing facility. It is considered one of China's largest overseas mining investments. The project has faced legal and environmental controversy, particularly over its deep-sea tailings disposal method.
