Buyback, Ghana lithium deal, DRC cobalt export ban lift Huayou

Huayou wins 166M yuan enforcement against ST Hezong A court ordered ST Hezong to pay Huayou about 166 million yuan over a failed equity buyback. This is money Huayou is owed and may recover, a small but real boost to its finances and a sign it defends shareholder interests.
New legal win directly benefits Huayou's cash recovery and shows management protecting shareholder value.
Huayou plans 600M-1B yuan share buyback Huayou announced a buyback of 600 million to 1 billion yuan, part of a wave of state-backed buybacks. Buying its own shares reduces supply and signals confidence, which tends to support the share price.
Company-specific buyback is a direct capital return that can lift the stock price.
Huayou buys Ghana lithium project for ~$71M Huayou agreed to buy Elevra Lithium's Ewoyaa project in Ghana for about 71 million US dollars in cash. This adds a new lithium resource to its battery materials business, supporting long-term growth as EV demand rises.
New acquisition expands Huayou's upstream lithium supply, a strategic positive for future earnings.
DRC bans cobalt concentrate exports; Huayou unaffected The Democratic Republic of Congo banned exports of copper and cobalt concentrates. Huayou says it does not export concentrates, so it avoids the ban while tighter global cobalt supply could raise prices for its processed cobalt products.
New regulation tightens cobalt supply and Huayou is positioned to benefit rather than be hurt.

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.
