XIAMEN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 16 June 2025 - 'Straits Financial Forum: Taiwan Enterprise Development Forum,' an essential event of the 17th Straits Forum, was held in Xiamen on June 14th. With the theme of 'Cross-Strait Financial Integration and Technology Empowerment,' it focused on the collaborative innovation of fintech and the high-quality development of Taiwan enterprises, stimulating discussions on new pathways of financial integration among regulators, Taiwan affairs offices/associations in Chinese cities, Taiwan enterprises, young Taiwanese, financial institutions, and experts.
'Straits Financial Forum: Taiwan Enterprise Development Forum' has been rolled out alongside the Straits Forum for 6 consecutive years, addressing the needs of the capital market for Taiwan enterprises and building a platform for cross-strait financial exchange. The event is sponsored by Xiamen Jinyuan Investment Group Co., Ltd. and hosted by Jinyuan President Securities Co., Ltd.
At the forum, the country's first Taiwan Enterprise Financial Services Alliance showcased its achievements of the past 3 years. The alliance was co-launched by Jinyuan Group and 10 institutions deeply engaged in serving Taiwan enterprises in July 2022. It is committed to advancing collaborative innovation in financial services and empowering the high-quality development of Taiwan enterprises in China's mainland.
Remarkable results have been delivered over the past 3 years: Jinyuan Group issued the first batch of cross-strait integrated development corporate bonds in China, bringing a number of Taiwan enterprises to the mainland's capital market; Bank of China (Xiamen Branch) provided a credit line of over 6 billion yuan for Taiwan businesses and set up 8 demonstration outlets; Xiamen Bank's Taiwan e-Loan credit exceeded 66 million yuan, while the transaction volume of Salary Express reached 660 million yuan. In a word, financial services continue to penetrate into the life and work of Taiwan compatriots.
Jinyuan President Securities revealed that it will tackle pain points in Taiwan enterprises' financing, making services accessible, affordable, and friendly. To help Taiwan enterprises thrive, it plans to prepare a capital market service toolbox with four priorities (i.e., promoting cross-strait industrial integration, assisting Taiwan enterprises to upgrade, facilitating Taiwan enterprises to go public, and providing all-round financial services).
At the forum, Xiamen Bank announced the country's first linkage between the Mainland Travel Permit and the Mainland Residence Permit for Taiwan residents in online financial scenarios. Wang Rumin, general manager of the Taiwanese Financial Department at the Head Office of Xiamen Bank, explained that this will optimize Taiwanese' payment experience because each person's different identity documents can be associated.

Terra Metals secures investment to fund Dante project in Australia

Terra Metals has secured financial commitments of A$4m ($2.6m) from strategic investors through the issuance of 114.2 million new ordinary shares at A$0.035 each. The proceeds will support the exploration and development of the company's wholly owned Dante copper-gold-platinum group metal project in Western Australia (WA). The strategic investors include Golden Energy and Resources (GEAR), an Asia-Pacific resources company, and Matthew Latimore, a notable figure in the Australian resources sector. GEAR operates through various coal and gold mining subsidiaries including Stanmore Resources and Illawarra Coal Holdings. GEAR executive director and chief investment officer Mark Zhou said: 'The Dante Project is clearly a standout district-scale opportunity for a globally significant critical minerals resource. GEAR is pleased to take up a shareholding in Terra Metals and to be partnering with and supporting Terra Metals in this exploration journey.' Latimore, founder and president of M Resources, holds stakes in several resource companies. Latimore said: 'This investment is aligned with M Group's long-term growth strategy in minerals essential to the energy transition and future economy. It also complements our existing Queensland-based vanadium and graphite assets held through M Critical Minerals.' Terra Metals' largest shareholder, Tribeca Investment Partners, has also pledged to maintain its 15% stake under the placement, subject to shareholder approval. The proceeds from the placement will be used for drilling activities and general corporate purposes. The placement will be completed in two tranches, with the second contingent on shareholder approval at an upcoming General Meeting. Terra Metals has already conducted more than 17,000m of drilling, revealing a laterally extensive reef-style system with potential across hundreds of kilometres. An independent South African resource consultancy is scheduled to visit the site in mid-June in preparation for the company's maiden mineral resource estimate. In January 2025, Terra Metals announced an option to acquire HRM Exploration, which holds four exploration licences covering 618km², contiguous with the Dante project.

G-7 Works to Secure Critical Minerals in Face of China Curbs

The Group of Seven leading economies are working to shore up supplies of critical minerals as they seek to move away from reliance on China for materials used in everything from mobile phones to wind turbines. G-7 leaders aim to agree to a statement at their meeting in Kananaskis, Canada, to establish an 'action plan' to diversify supplies of the vital metals and encourage 'immediate and scaled investment' in projects, according to a draft document obtained by Bloomberg. Without mentioning China — which accounts for almost 70% of the world's production of rare earths — they mentioned the 'threat to our economies' of current practices in the sector.
