It is also part of our contribution to society to actively invest in public service, social welfare, charitable donations and related social responsibility activities. Bearing social responsibilities in mind, we independently invested 200 million RMB in August 2012 to initiate the establishment Zijin Mining Charity Foundation, the first national non-public foundation in China's gold industry, which is a member of China Charity Federation and China Association for Non-Profit Organization.
