[China Gold Association: In the first three quarters, overseas mine production capacity of major gold groups continued to release in an orderly manner]

In the first three quarters of 2026, overseas mine production capacity of major gold groups continued to release in an orderly manner, serving as an important support to offset domestic production contraction. Two subsidiaries of China Gold in Kyrgyzstan—Kichi-Chatyr and Sino-Kyrgyz Mining—were respectively awarded the annual China-Kyrgyzstan Cooperation Award for their solid operational performance and social responsibility contributions in the local market; Shandong Gold's Namdini Gold Mine in Ghana optimized the full process of mining, stripping, and processing, with both mining and processing scale and recovery rates improving simultaneously, leading to a significant year-on-year increase in gold output; Zijin Mining's incremental projects, including the Akyem Gold Mine in Ghana and the Ruiguoduo Gold Mine in Kazakhstan, continued to release production capacity; Zhaojin Mining's Abujar Gold Mine in Côte d'Ivoire continued to highlight its capacity support role by optimizing production operation models, streamlining production processes, and improving mining and processing efficiency. Overseas mines of major gold groups produced 71.126 tonnes of gold, up 15.77% year-on-year.
