Mining operations

[edit]

Notable projects include:

  • Mirador Mine: The company holds a stake in the Mirador copper-gold open-pit mine in southeastern Ecuador, one of two mines in the country. The project is developed under a joint venture with CRCC-Tongguan Investment Co., Ltd., and has drawn international attention as one of China’s major overseas mining investments.[9]
  • Shaxi Copper Mine: Located in Anhui Province, China, the Shaxi Copper Mine is a modern underground mine wholly controlled by Tongling. While primarily developed as a copper mine, it also produced an estimated 649,180 ounces of gold in 2023, making it the largest gold-producing mine in China by output.[10]
