Shenzhen Zhongjin Lingnan Nonfemet

What Shenzhen Zhongjin Lingnan Nonfemet does

Shenzhen Zhongjin Lingnan Nonfemet Co., Ltd. (SZSE: 000060) is a state-owned, vertically integrated non-ferrous metals producer founded in 1984 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange since January 1997. The company is controlled by Guangdong Guangsheng Holdings Group, a Guangdong Province SASAC entity, and operates across the full value chain: resource exploration, mining, smelting/refining, advanced materials manufacturing, and supply chain services. Core production assets include the Fankou Lead-Zinc Mine (Asia's largest lead-zinc-silver base), Shaoguan Smelter, Danxia Smelter, and Shandong Zhongjin Lingnan Copper, with international mining operations in Australia (Perilya), Canada (Global Star Mining), the Dominican Republic, and a stake in Myanmar Metals. Annual production capacity totals approximately 300,000 tons of lead-zinc concentrate, 450,000 tons of smelted lead/zinc, 450,000 tons of cathode copper, and 5,400 tons of composite metal materials, plus comprehensive recovery of rare/scattered/precious metals (gallium, germanium, indium, tellurium, rhodium, etc.).

The company's core technologies include proprietary processes such as the "Zhongjin Lingnan Two-Stage Short-Process Copper Smelting Process" (globally innovative), zinc oxygen pressure leaching, oxygen bottom-blown copper smelting, and advanced composite metal manufacturing (warm/cold/hot rolling composites), supported by 595 national patents and 160+ provincial science and technology awards. It holds #1 domestic market share positions in battery zinc powder, nickel-hydride/nickel-cadmium battery plate materials, and thermal bimetal products. Revenue is generated through B2B enterprise sales across four segments: mining products (lead-zinc concentrates), smelting products (refined lead, zinc, copper), new materials (silver-copper, copper-steel, copper-nickel composite strips, thermal bimetal, aluminum-nickel composites for new energy, electronics, and semiconductor applications), and supply chain/trading services. Products are distributed through direct enterprise sales, commodity exchange trading (registered on LME and Shanghai Futures Exchange under the "Nanhua" brand), and international trade operations, serving global battery manufacturers, electronics companies, new energy firms, and industrial metal processors.

Strategically, the company is executing a "复兴计划" (Revival Plan) anchored on three priorities: deepening vertical integration from resource to advanced materials, expanding the new materials segment to capture demand from new energy and semiconductor end-markets, and accelerating digital/smart transformation of legacy mining and smelting operations. The 2026 commissioning of the Ganzhou high-energy composite metal electroplating project, the 2022 takeover of Fangyuan Group's 20 companies, and ongoing partnerships for digital procurement platforms illustrate this execution. The firm is ranked 282nd on the 2026 Fortune China 500 (its 16th consecutive year on the list) and reports annual revenue exceeding 600 billion CNY (~$83B USD) with total assets of approximately 500 billion CNY and a workforce of more than 11,500.
