Zijin buys US$1.2 billion Kazakhstan gold mine ahead of overseas unit's Hong Kong listing
Zijin Mining , one of China's largest miners of gold and copper, struck a deal to buy a project in Kazakhstan for US$1.2 billion ahead of a planned listing of its international unit on Hong Kong's stock exchange. In a statement to the Hong Kong bourse on Monday, the company said the deal would increase its gold reserves and output and help it become one of the world's top three producers by 2028, up from sixth last year. The deal would also 'significantly enhance the asset scale, profit level and global industry position of Zijin Gold International and promote the listing and [share] offering of Zijin Gold International in the international capital market', it added. In May, it said it would seek an annual output target of 100 to 110 tonnes of the precious metal by 2028, up 36 to 50 per cent from 2024. And two months ago, Zijin said it planned to reorganise its overseas gold mining assets under Zijin Gold International, which was established in 2007, and list it. The move would 'create greater value' for shareholders through a revaluation of its assets, it said. In its latest deal, a firm owned by Zijin Gold International agreed to buy the Raygorodok gold mine project for US$1.2 billion from Cantech, which is based in northern Kazakhstan. At the end of last year, the project had net assets of US$291 million and recorded a net profit of US$202 million on revenue of US$473 million. Under the mine's original development plan, at a gold price of US$1,750 per ounce, the project's economic ore reserve stood at 94.9 million tonnes. At the mine's average ratio of one gram of gold extracted from each tonne of ore, around 100.6 tonnes of the yellow metal could be produced from its facilities.

After Beijing review, Hong Kong maintains ban on seafood from 10 Japanese prefectures
Hong Kong has underscored the need for prudence in allowing Japanese seafood imports after Beijing partially lifted its own ban on such products, which had been put in place over concerns about waste water discharged from the decommissioned Fukushima nuclear power plant. Advertisement In a statement issued in the early hours of Monday, a Hong Kong government spokesman stopped short of saying whether the city would reconsider import restrictions on Japanese seafood, which had been in place since August 2023. 'The [Hong Kong] government has been maintaining communication with the Japanese authority on the relevant issues, including requesting Japan to provide information on latest developments and scientific evidence concerning the discharge of the nuclear-contaminated water, to assess whether there are conditions for relaxing the current precautionary measures,' he said. 'The government will make a public announcement if there is any policy adjustment.' But the spokesman stressed that the duration and scale of the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant were 'unprecedented' and required Hong Kong authorities to 'act in a prudent manner'. Advertisement On Sunday, China's General Administration of Customs said it would immediately resume importing sea products from Japan, excluding 10 prefectures: Tokyo, Fukushima, Chiba, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Gunma, Miyagi, Niigata, Nagano and Saitama.
