Zijin Mining
Zijin Mining Group Co., Limited is a publicly-traded partly state-owned mining company headquartered in Longyan, Fujian, China. It is one of the largest producers of gold, copper, and zinc in the country, with operations across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
Zijin is listed on both the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Its largest shareholder is the Shanghang Minxi Xinghang State-Owned Property Investment Company, which holds a 24% stake and is controlled by the government of Shanghang County, where the company is based.
Zijin was founded in 1986 as the Shanghang Mineral Company and later restructured into its current corporate form. In 2006, Zijin produced 49.28 tonnes of gold, accounting for over 20% of China's total output. Production rose to 69 tonnes in 2010, but declined to about 37 tonnes by 2018. Zijin has expanded aggressively abroad through a number of acquisitions in the 2010s and 20s.
In 2025, Zijin subsidiaries were added to the U.S. forced labor entity list under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, banning their goods from entering the American market.
Zijin Mining has significant operations in China, including some of the largest gold and copper mines in the country.
Zijin operates a global portfolio of mining and exploration assets, including wholly owned subsidiaries, majority-owned companies, and strategic equity investments. The company's primary focus is on gold and copper, with growing interests in lithium, zinc, and other critical minerals.
In 2010, acid waste from a copper plant leaked into the Ting River in Fujian, causing widespread environmental damage and resulting in the criminal detention of plant officials for failing to report the spill promptly. That same year, a dam collapse at a tin mine in Guangdong caused four deaths and was attributed to extreme rainfall from a rare typhoon.
In Serbia, following Zijin's 2018 acquisition of RTB Bor, the city of Bor experienced repeated incidents of sulfur dioxide emissions exceeding legal limits, triggering public protests and government investigations.
