Silver
A precious metal valued as a commodity and a financial asset

    Zijin Mining is a leading silver producer in China and a significant one in the world.

    We possess substantial silver resources and reserves, which are primarily associated with polymetallic deposits. Silver resources are mainly found in our Bor Copper Complex in Serbia, the Buriticá Gold Mine in Colombia, the Jilau and Taror Gold Mines in Tajikistan, the Bisha Copper-Zinc Mine in Eritrea, and the Kyzyl-Tashtyg Zinc-Containing Polymetallic Mine in Russia. Significant associated silver resources also exist in several mines we operate in China, such as the Julong Copper Mine, Duobaoshan and Tongshan Copper Mines, Ashele Copper Mine, and the Sanguikou Zinc-Lead Mine. Ongoing expansion projects at the Julong, Duobaoshan, and Tongshan Copper Mines will further boost our silver output.

Applications

Although often described as the shadow of gold, silver distinguishes itself by possessing the properties of both a precious metal and an industrial metal.

Highly ductile and exhibiting excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, it is widely used in electronics, jewelry, medicine, optics, and the energy sector.

The push for low-carbon technologies and silver’s superior conductivity have driven its growing use in photovoltaics, electric vehicles (EVs), AI computing, certain wearable devices, and aerospace.
