Editor’s Note: As the cradle of Zijin Mining and one of its core projects, the Zijinshan Copper-Gold Mine reflects the company’s unwavering commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly mining. This park-like, forested, low-carbon mine is part of the Longyan Geopark, which recently joined the prestigious UNESCO Global Geoparks Network. Miners at the project have turned to photography to capture the lush landscapes and azure waters that surround them. These images reveal the mine’s unique allure and highlight Zijin Mining’s unrelenting efforts in green development.
Every Photograph
Is a slice of time
Preserving memories
From the dawn-kissed Kirin Peak
To the jacaranda lanes painted by dusk
From the intense focus in busy hours
To the laughter of leisure
Zijinshan, through the lens
Holds the majesty of industry
And the tenderness of life’s finer moments
Join us through these images
And feel their world
Nature
At Zijinshan
Nature feels ever so near
With air rich in oxygen
And landscapes at every turn
“Beauty and grace unfold spontaneously everywhere
The least we can do is try to be there.”

Enduring light and heat

Capturing the hues of our moods

Photography
Is not merely a means of external expression
But an inner state of mind
Reflecting employees’ passion for their work
And their zest for life
