【Moving Forward into the Future】Cultivating Innovation Fertile Ground, Empowering Industrial Upgrade—Zhongjin Lingnan's Rich Achievements in Science and Technology Innovation in 2025

In 2025, China Gold Group Lingnan adheres to an innovation-driven development strategy, deeply practices the FAITH management philosophy, and focuses on cultivating and strengthening new quality productivity. The company continuously promotes the deep integration of technological innovation and digital intelligence transformation, achieving breakthroughs in platform construction, core technology research, digital intelligence upgrades, talent development, and成果转化, injecting strong momentum into high-quality development.

The innovation platform has achieved a leap in capability, and the innovation ecosystem continues to optimize. In November 2025, China Gold Group Lingnan successfully signed a co-construction agreement with the National Mine Safety Technology Innovation Center, opening strategic space for participating in major national projects and leading industry mine safety technology development, helping upgrade industry safety standards. The Shaoguan smelting plant inspection and testing center was approved as a CNAS laboratory, aligning testing capabilities with international standards. The successive establishment of high-level platforms has built a solid support system for the company’s technological innovation, promoting the innovation ecosystem to a higher quality and more optimal pattern.

Core technological breakthroughs are multi-faceted, and industry empowerment results are fully evident. The company focuses on deploying innovation chains around the industrial chain, concentrating on resource development, green smelting, and new material development, tackling key core technologies, achieving multiple technological breakthroughs, and implementing them into practice. In resource assurance and efficient development, a high-precision 3D ore body model has been built, and an integrated remote monitoring and on-site management system for exploration projects has been innovated. Major mineral discoveries have been made in the Fankou, Wanhou, and Tiantang mines, with significant increases in copper, lead, zinc, silver, tungsten, and other metal resources. In green smelting and strategic metal recovery, Shaoguan smelting plant’s independently developed gallium, germanium, and indium “rare” metal recovery and refining technology has been successfully industrialized, essentially achieving full extraction of mineral resources. In new materials and high-end manufacturing, China Gold Technology has successfully developed ultra-thin thermally dual-metal, VC heat dissipation copper-steel, copper-aluminum composite materials, among others, with several products recognized as “Guangdong Famous High-Tech Products”; the mine drill bits developed for Fankou lead-zinc mine have reduced wear rate to 65% of similar products and are used in mines such as Jinchuan in Gansu and Huize in Yunnan.

Digital intelligence transformation is advancing deeply, with remarkable results in quality improvement and efficiency enhancement. The integration of business and finance has been deepened, with the financial shared service platform upgraded and integrated with accounting, investment, HR, and other systems, achieving deep collaboration between business and finance. Efforts to strengthen intelligent mines and factories continue, with nine smart projects at Fankou lead-zinc mine passing acceptance smoothly, China Gold Copper has completed the transformation of three intelligent unmanned grab cranes, and intelligent temperature measurement robots have been deployed in slag dressing workshops. AI technology is being promoted in systems such as intelligent wastewater dosing, achieving comprehensive improvements from safety to efficiency.

Talent vitality is bursting forth, and fruitful innovation achievements are numerous. The company flexibly introduced 14 experts as distinguished consultants and honorary chief engineers, added 2 postdoctoral researchers and 8 PhDs, with one selected for the second batch of manufacturing talent support plans and another for the China Association for Science and Technology’s youth science and technology digital talent cultivation plan. The “Doctor Team” industry-academic integration mechanism has been deepened, implementing the “Five Ones” linkage mechanism of “one doctor, one enterprise, one mentor, one project, one assessment,” and through mentorship and internal/external training resource integration, professional capabilities have been improved. Over the year, the company received one China Patent Excellence Award, two Safety Science and Technology Awards, and six China Nonferrous Metals Industry Science and Technology Awards; obtained 78 patents, and led or participated in the formulation of 64 international and industry standards.

Looking ahead, China Gold Group Lingnan will continue to practice the FAITH management philosophy, focus on green, low-carbon, and intelligent transformation, vigorously tackle core technological challenges, and strive to create a new pattern of high-quality development. The company aims to build a globally competitive nonferrous metal full-industry-chain international mining and metallurgy group, striving for corporate revitalization and contributing to the high-quality development of Guangsheng Holdings Group.
