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.

CMOC profit surges on higher copper, moly, tungsten prices and gold deal

First-half profit jumps 86% on higher metal prices and volumes CMOC's first-half net profit rose 86.3% to 16.15 billion yuan, with revenue up 42.8%. The gain came from selling more copper and getting higher prices for copper, molybdenum and tungsten, plus adding Brazilian gold mines. Strong earnings and cash flow support the stock price.
This is the core new financial result showing why the company is fundamentally more valuable.
Raises sales caps to CATL, signaling strong battery-metal demand CMOC plans to raise annual sales caps to CATL Group to as much as $5 billion by 2028, and purchase caps from KFM to $14 billion. This points to growing demand for CMOC's copper and cobalt products, which supports future revenue and the stock price.
It shows a concrete new demand signal from a major customer, which affects future earnings.
DRC export ban lifts copper sentiment but has limited real impact The Democratic Republic of Congo banned copper and cobalt concentrate exports, sparking a rally in nonferrous stocks. CMOC says the ban barely affects it because it mostly sells refined copper and cobalt hydroxide, not raw concentrate. Still, the news lifted copper prices, which helps CMOC's revenue.
It explains a new supply-side event that moved the sector and could affect copper prices, a key driver for CMOC.
Halts tailings supply to tungsten joint venture, cutting revenue CMOC stopped supplying tailings to Luoyang Yulu, a joint venture that recovers tungsten. The shutdown cuts a small revenue stream and creates uncertainty, though the financial impact is limited. This is a minor negative for the stock.
It is a new operational setback that could slightly reduce earnings and adds regulatory risk.
