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]
Complaints of competitors
[edit]At the end of February 2025, Glencore announced to interrupt operations at its smelter in Pasar (Philippines) and wrote that fees that smelters get to process copper had fallen to an all-time low.[11]<ref>see also "Copper smelting industry reels from threat of tariffs and China rivals". ft.com. 4 March 2025.
