Zijin Mining Group Company Limited provided earnings guidance for the first half ended June 30, 2022. Based on the preliminary estimation by the Company's Finance Department, it is estimated that the Company realised a net profit attributable to owners of the listed company of approximately RMB 12.6 billion for the first half of 2022, representing an increase of approximately RMB 6 billion, or an increase of approximately 91% compared with the same period last year (same period last year: RMB 6.6 billion). It is estimated that the Company realised a net profit attributable to owners of the listed company after non-recurring profit or loss of approximately RMB 11.9 billion for the first half of 2022, representing an increase of approximately RMB 5.8 billion, or an increase of approximately 95% compared with the same period last year (same period last year: RMB 6.1 billion).

During the Reporting Period, the Company's realised net profit attributable to owners of the listed company increased by approximately 91% compared with the same period last year. This is mainly because a batch of major mines, including Serbia Zijin Copper, Kamoa Copper in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Julong Copper in Tibet, have completed construction, commenced production and reached their designated production capacities on schedule. Production volume of the Company's major mineral products such as mine-produced gold and mine-produced copper also increased substantially compared with the same period last year.

Among which, the production volume of mine-produced copper and mine-produced gold increased by approximately 70% and 22%, respectively.
