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.

Gold rally and major Laos resource upgrade drive Chifeng Gold higher

Weak US jobs data and Fed rate hold lift gold prices Weak US jobs data and the Fed holding rates steady pushed gold prices up, making gold miners like Chifeng more attractive. Lower rate hike odds support gold demand, which directly boosts Chifeng's revenue and stock price.
This explains the main macro force behind the stock's recent gains.
Gold demand outpaces supply, supporting higher prices Global gold demand is growing much faster than mine supply, with central banks buying heavily. This imbalance supports higher gold prices, which increases Chifeng's profits and makes its stock more valuable.
This structural supply-demand gap is a key long-term driver for gold miners.
Sepon mine resource upgrade adds 143% gold equivalent Chifeng announced a 143% increase in gold equivalent resources at its Sepon mine in Laos, from 107 to 260 tonnes. This significantly expands the company's reserves, boosting future production potential and making the stock more attractive.
This is a major company-specific event that directly increases the company's value.
