The story
Some of the group's assets were listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange from 2006 to 2015 under the name "Hunan Nonferrous Metals Corporation Limited" (SEHK: 2626). These included stakes in major mining units such as Hunan Yaogangxian Mining Co., Ltd. and Hunan Huangshaping Mining Branch, as well as the Duddar mine project lead-zinc joint venture in Balochistan, Pakistan.
In 2011, China Minmetals acquired control of the holding company, and by 2014, it announced plans to privatize the listed arm, consolidating its assets under the unlisted group structure.
On 1 August 2006, the company acquired a 9.73% stake in Australian miner Compass Resources for 30 million Australian dollars, becoming its second-largest shareholder.
