Business
Yunnan Copper Co., Ltd. Yunnan Copper Co., Ltd. (000878.SZ) engages primarily in the mining, smelting, rolling, processing, production, and sales of copper and other non-ferrous metals in China. The company produces cathode copper, copper bars and rods, industrial sulfuric acid, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, selenium, tellurium, rhenium, molybdenum concentrate, and other rare and precious metals under brands such as Tiefeng; it also manufactures non-agricultural copper sulfate, ammonium perrhenate, oxygen, nitrogen, and provides hydrometallurgy processing, recycling of copper and non-ferrous metals, import-export of mineral and metal products, technical services for mining, as well as sales of plastic products and fuel oil. Founded in 1958 as the predecessor Yunnan Smelter and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 1998, the company serves as the core listed platform for China Copper's copper industry operations and maintains headquarters in Kunming, Yunnan Province, with primary mining and production activities concentrated in domestic markets including the Sanjiang Metallogenic Belt mines such as Pulang, Dahongshan, and Yangla. Its geographic operations focus on China, targeting industrial customers in metals, chemicals, and manufacturing sectors with a cathode copper capacity of 1.3 million tons annually. In recent developments, the company advances a transaction to acquire an additional 40% stake in Liangshan Mining Co., Ltd. from its parent via share issuance, increasing its holding from 20% to controlling interest, enhancing copper and rare metal resources, self-sufficiency, and synergies while raising supporting funds from Chalco Group Aluminum Corporation of China Limited and China Copper for the Hongnipo copper mine project; it also entered a October 2025 joint venture funding agreement with Chalco , China Aluminum Group, Chihong Zinc & Germanium, and Chalco Capital for RMB 1.5 billion to expand downstream rare metals into high-end materials. These initiatives strengthen resource reserves, capacity layout, industrial chain integration, and core competitiveness amid 2025 production plans targeting 1.52 million tons of cathode copper, 54,600 tons of copper concentrates, 16 tons of gold, 680 tons of silver, and 5.364 million tons of sulfuric acid.
