Chengtun Mining's profit surges on copper, adds silver-zinc deal

First-half profit jumps on higher copper prices and output Chengtun Mining expects first-half 2026 net profit of 1.75-1.95 billion yuan, up 66-85% from a year earlier. The company says higher copper prices and more copper produced at its Congo copper-cobalt project drove the gain, with costs also falling. More profit and cash make the shares more valuable.
This is the core new earnings driver behind the stock's value.
Half-year report confirms strong growth and first dividend The actual half-year report showed revenue up 39.56% to 19.264 billion yuan and net profit up 71.37% to 1.804 billion yuan, with 2.285 billion yuan of cash coming in from operations. It also plans a small cash dividend of 0.05 yuan per share, the first payout signal to investors.
Confirms the profit forecast was real and adds a shareholder payout.
Balance sheet gets more stretched as debt ratio rises Alongside the profit jump, the interim report showed the debt-to-assets ratio rose to 61.69%, up 5.90 points from a year earlier, and gross margin slipped 1.58 points from the prior quarter. Faster growth funded by more borrowing adds risk if copper prices fall.
This is the real counterweight investors should weigh against the good earnings.
Plans 709 million yuan purchase of silver-lead-zinc miner Chengtun Mining's subsidiary plans to buy 65% of Tibet Haiteng Industrial for 709 million yuan. The target holds exploration rights at the Bagala East lead-zinc mine, with silver resources large enough to rank as a major domestic silver mine, adding future metal output beyond copper.
A new acquisition that could add silver and zinc resources to the company's pipeline.

Tungsten demand tight, H1 profit up 280%

AI chip demand lifts minor metals AI computing is driving demand for tantalum capacitors and molybdenum, which is replacing tungsten in semiconductors. This lifts the whole minor metals sector and supports China Tungsten's products, though the tungsten-replacement trend is a long-term risk to its core business.
Explains the demand-side force behind the stock's move and a real counterweight.
H1 2026 profit surges 280% First-half revenue rose 108.51% to 16.385 billion yuan and net profit jumped 280.53% to 2.076 billion yuan, with second-quarter profit up 25% from the first quarter. Strong earnings confirm the company is cashing in on tight tungsten supply and demand.
The single biggest new fact driving the stock — a huge profit jump.
No dividend despite big profit The company will not pay a cash dividend, issue bonus shares, or convert capital reserve into shares for the first half. Retaining cash can fund growth, but income-focused investors get nothing, a mild negative that partly offsets the strong profit headline.
A real counterweight within the earnings news that readers should know.
Tight tungsten supply lifts sector Shenzhen-listed nonferrous metal companies posted strong first-half results, with more than half doubling profit. The report attributes this to tight supply and demand for industrial metals including tungsten, reinforcing that China Tungsten's gains come from real industry conditions, not one-off items.
Shows the industry-wide supply-demand backdrop that supports the stock's valuation.
