History

edit

Zhongjin Lingnan was founded in 1984 during China's non-ferrous sector restructuring and initially operated under the China National Non-ferrous Metals Industry Corp.[6] After that corporation's dissolution in 1998, control passed to the Guangdong provincial government via its investment arm, Guangdong Rising Assets Management (GRAM), which remains the majority shareholder.[4]

Overseas expansion

edit
  • Australia – In February 2009 Australia approved Zhongjin Lingnan's purchase of a 50.1 % stake in Perilya Limited, owner of the historic Broken Hill lead-zinc-silver mine.[7] Zhongjin acquired the remaining shares in December 2013, gaining full ownership.[8]
  • Canada – Guangdong government reports list Zhongjin Lingnan among provincial mining firms entering Canadian exploration joint ventures in 2013.[9]

Industry coordination

edit

In November 2015 Zhongjin Lingnan joined nine other major Chinese zinc smelters in pledging to cut refined-zinc output by 500,000 t in 2016.[10]

Operations

edit
  • Mining and smelting – Core assets include the Shaoguan lead-zinc smelter in Guangdong and, via Perilya, the Broken Hill South and Potosi mines in New South Wales.[11]
  • International assets – Perilya also controls base-metal mines in the Dominican Republic and holds earlier-stage zinc-lead projects in Canada.[8]
  • Real-estate and logistics – The group retains small property-development and logistics businesses inherited from earlier diversification.[3]

In 2023 the company's mines produced about 1.05 million t of zinc-lead concentrate, while its smelters produced roughly 92,000 t of refined zinc.[3]
