Zijin Gold International (02259) announced its annual results for the year ending December 2025, with shareholders’ profit attributable to shareholders of HKD 1.602 billion (USD equivalent), a year-on-year increase of 2.33 times. Earnings per share are HKD 0.82, with a final dividend of HKD 1.5 per share.

During the period, revenue reached HKD 5.383 billion, an increase of 80.05% year-on-year.

Last year, the group produced 46.9 tons of mineral gold (including approximately 45.4 tons from controlled mines), up about 20% year-on-year. The compound annual growth rate from 2023 to 2025 is approximately 15%.

Based on current mine operation plans and capacity arrangements, the group’s existing mines (including Pogola Gold Mine based on equity interest) are expected to produce about 59.2 tons of mineral gold in 2026, increasing to 70-75 tons by 2028.

The group states that from a macro political and economic perspective, gold will still be in a relatively favorable external environment in 2026. The global political and economic order remains unstable in the long term, with overall economic growth momentum weak, regional divergence evident, and frequent occurrences of trade frictions, fiscal deficits, electoral politics, geopolitical conflicts, and policy uncertainties. Gold’s appeal is not only due to its traditional safe-haven function but also its value as a non-sovereign credit asset and a cross-cycle hedging asset.

The demand structure in the gold market is further shifting towards “official and financial allocation dominance.” Central bank gold purchases will continue to be the most stable support for the gold market. Major economies view gold as an important tool for optimizing reserve structures, diversifying asset risks, and enhancing financial security margins. ETF and institutional capital allocation behaviors will become key variables influencing gold price elasticity. If global market concerns about economic slowdown, asset overvaluation, and policy uncertainties persist, gold will continue to be regarded as a core hedging asset in investment portfolios.
