Since successfully completing the LME (London Metal Exchange) brand certification, China Nonferrous Luanshya Copper Mines Plc (hereinafter referred to as "CNLM") has seized the opportunity of global copper demand growth, accelerated the globalization of its brand, expanded the international market for CLM copper cathode, continuously optimized supply chain management, and promoted the better conversion of achievements in increasing reserves and production into corporate economic benefits. In 2024, it achieved a brand premium of $630,000; in Q1 2025, the qualification rate of Grade A copper reached 100%, achieving a brand premium of $490,000.

CNLM attaches great importance to the compliance and sustainability of supply chain management. In the 2024 external audit assessment of supply chain due diligence management, it continued to maintain a leading position in the industry, obtaining the highest rating among the assessed enterprises—the AA-level rating certificate. This highlights CNLM's outstanding performance in supply chain management, compliant operations, and sustainable development, further enhancing international customers' trust in the CLM copper cathode brand and providing strong support for global sales expansion.

While ensuring domestic demand, CNLM has actively explored the international market for its branded copper products. Currently, CLM copper cathode has been exported to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, and has successfully expanded into the European and North American markets. Since 2025, CNLM has also fully tapped the potential of the local market in Zambia, reaching a long-term cooperation agreement with local cable producers. This not only broadens the sales channels for CLM copper cathode and improves profitability but also enhances the added value of local copper industry products, contributing to Zambia's economic development with practical actions.

Going forward, CNLM will steadily advance the special initiative of increasing reserves and production. Based on "increasing reserves" and relying on "boosting production" to enhance efficiency, it will strengthen technological empowerment, continuously improve product quality, and accelerate the globalization process of the CLM copper cathode brand, making greater contributions to China Nonferrous Metal Mining (Group) Co., Ltd. in building a world-class mining enterprise with international competitiveness.
