Focus on both geological exploration and M&A. Seek to achieve lower costs and higher profits in operating our assets across the globe. Aim for discoveries in important metallogenic belts through exploration by using industry-leading technology and expertise. Acquire high-quality large and medium-sized mining assets at the right time, on the basis of systematic engineering, mineral economics and specialized analytics.

Work aimed at increasing our capabilities for sustainable development includes installing facilities that generate clean energy - solar power, wind power and hydropower - for our mining and smelting companies; investing in hydrogen energy and materials related to clean energy storage; enhancing the environmental protection capabilities of mining and smelting companies; and following developments in pit closures and closures of tailings dams.

Develop mining-related trading and logistics businesses, build a responsible global supply chain, and create platforms for product sales, logistics management and value enhancement in key jurisdictions where we operate.

Coordinate the development of our mining business with our finance and capital businesses, setting up global platforms that provide financial services and facilitate investment and financing for mining. This is to support our investment and financing activities in the mining sector and our mining operations, and to foster a high-quality value-added chain.
