Zhaojin Mining

Zhaojin Mining operates an extensive network of gold mines and smelting facilities, with its primary operations concentrated in Shandong Province, particularly in the city of Zhaoyuan, known as "China's Gold Capital." Over the years, the company has expanded its mining footprint to other resource-rich regions in Gansu, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Heilongjiang, making it one of the most geographically diversified gold producers in China.

The company's core asset is the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine Cluster in Shandong, which consists of several high-grade underground gold mines and serves as the hub for processing and refining activities. Among its key Shandong operations is the Dayingezhuang Gold Mine, noted for its consistent high recovery rates and advanced underground mining technology.

In Gansu, Zhaojin Mining operates the Zaozigou Gold Mine, a major contributor to the companys overall gold output, producing approximately 207,101 ounces of gold in 2020.

In recent years, Zhaojin has expanded internationally. In 2024, the company acquired a controlling interest in Tietto Minerals, an Australian-listed gold company, for approximately A$733 million. Through this acquisition, Zhaojin gained an 88% stake in the Abujar Gold Project located in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. The Abujar mine began commercial production in early 2023 and is expected to produce an average of 170,000 ounces of gold annually over the next nine years.
