Summary of Guangsheng Nonferrous Metal Conference Call Company Overview - Guangsheng Nonferrous Metal is a leading rare earth enterprise in South China, involved in copper and tungsten businesses. The company holds all three types of rare earth mining licenses in Guangdong Province and controls four rare earth smelting separation plants in Southern China. [3][4] Key Industry Trends and Developments - The rare earth industry is currently in a transitional phase, with the recent implementation of the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Rare Earth Mining and Smelting," which includes stricter controls on imported ores and higher requirements for smelting qualifications. This is expected to reduce non-compliant supply and benefit state-owned enterprises, leading to further industry consolidation. [2][4][5] - The rise in processing fees for heavy rare earths and the production halt in Myanmar are contributing to supply tightening, which is driving an upward trend in the rare earth market. [5] Financial Performance and Projections - Guangsheng Nonferrous Metal's performance was negatively impacted by falling rare earth prices last year, but the company is expected to benefit from rising prices this year, with projected earnings of approximately 300 million yuan in 2025 and 400 million yuan in 2026. [2][9][14] - The company’s main profit sources are from its mining operations, with total production expected to reach around 5,000 tons after the new mining license from Xinfeng Company is operational. [2][9] Resource and Business Layout - The company has significant resource holdings, including the Shirenzhang tungsten industry, Hongling tungsten mine, and a 40% stake in the Dabaoshan copper mine, which has reserves of approximately 20 million tons. The Dabaoshan copper mine generated 1.8 billion yuan in revenue last year, contributing over 400 million yuan in net profit. [2][10][13] - Guangsheng Nonferrous Metal is expanding its smelting business through partnerships and collaborations, including a notable partnership with Japan's TDK for magnetic tape production. [4][10] Strategic Developments - The transfer of 18.45% of shares from the largest shareholder, Guangdong Rare Earth Group, to China Rare Earth Group is expected to enhance Guangsheng Nonferrous Metal's strategic position and market expectations. [2][3][8] - There is potential for asset injection between Guangdong Rare Earth Group and China Rare Earth Group, which could further enhance Guangsheng Nonferrous Metal's growth prospects. [11][12] Market Outlook and Investment Recommendations - The market is advised to focus on state-owned enterprises benefiting from industry reforms and heavy rare earth mining, such as Guangsheng Nonferrous Metal. Other companies with flexible business models, like Baogang Group and Northern Rare Earth, are also recommended for consideration. [7] - The company's valuation is expected to improve significantly, with potential growth of over 50% if asset injections occur and if the company’s name changes to reflect its new strategic positioning. [14]

Core Viewpoint - The report from CITIC Securities indicates that the domestic copper mining sector's price-to-earnings (PE) ratio has been consistently running between 10-15x over the past three years, with a recent upward adjustment in valuation due to declining supply growth and strong domestic demand [1] Group 1: Supply and Demand Dynamics - The domestic copper mining sector is expected to see a further improvement in supply and demand, with seasonal effects and macroeconomic support acting as catalysts [1] - It is projected that copper prices could reach $10,500 per ton in Q3-Q4 of 2025, driven by an upward shift in price levels that will enhance corporate profit expectations [1] Group 2: Valuation Outlook - There is a perceived discrepancy in valuations between domestic and international sectors due to differences in the perception of supply shortages and demand growth [1] - The anticipated improvement in supply-demand recognition and the increase in copper prices are expected to drive domestic valuations higher, potentially reaching 15-20x [1]

Core Viewpoint - The company reported significant growth in revenue and net profit for the first half of 2025, indicating strong operational performance and potential for future growth [3]. Group 1: Financial Performance - In the first half of 2025, the company achieved operating revenue of 6.316 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 47.8%, and a net profit attributable to shareholders of 1.111 billion yuan, up 81.3% year-on-year [3]. Group 2: Mining Services Business - The mining services segment generated a gross profit of 767 million yuan in the first half of 2025, reflecting a year-on-year decline of 17%. This decline was primarily due to the internal management transition of the Lubambe copper mine and the early-stage operations of TerraMining, which reduced revenue and gross profit from mining services [4]. Group 3: Resource Projects - Apart from the Lubambe copper mine, all resource projects met their production targets for the first half of 2025. The resource segment reported revenue of 2.91 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 238%, and a gross profit of 1.39 billion yuan, up 277% year-on-year. Copper metal production reached 39,442 tons, a year-on-year increase of 199%, while phosphate rock production was 174,000 tons, up 6% year-on-year [5]. Group 4: Future Growth Potential - The Lonshi copper mine's western area commenced production in Q4 2023, while the eastern area is in the early stages of construction. The eastern area is designed for underground mining with a planned production scale of 2.5 to 3.5 million tons per year, with a construction period of 4.5 years. Once operational, it is expected to produce for 12 years, with a combined annual output of approximately 100,000 tons of copper metal from both areas [6]. - The company plans to produce 79,400 tons of copper metal in 2025, an increase of 30,700 tons compared to 2024, representing a 63% year-on-year growth. Additionally, the planned phosphate rock production for 2025 is set at 300,000 tons [7].

Summary of Conference Call on Copper Industry Industry Overview - The conference call focuses on the copper sector within the non-ferrous metals industry, highlighting optimistic prospects for Q4 2025 and beyond [1][3]. Key Points and Arguments - **Positive Outlook for Copper Sector**: The copper sector is expected to perform well in Q4 2025, with companies like Zijin Mining and Luoyang Molybdenum recommended as standard investment targets due to their low valuations and potential for increased dividends [1][3]. - **Domestic Supply and Demand**: Monthly supply of electrolytic copper in China is approximately 1.8 to 1.9 million tons, while demand fluctuates between 1.7 to 2.1 million tons. The demand is expected to remain strong in 2025, driven by sectors such as electricity, automotive, and home appliances [1][6][7]. - **Global Supply Constraints**: Global refined copper production is projected to grow by about 2% in 2025, with limited new supply expected. The Cobre Panama project is recovering slowly, with full production not anticipated until the second half of 2026 [1][9][13]. - **Price Projections**: Copper prices are expected to exceed $11,000 per ton in the first half of 2026, with prices above $12,000 being necessary to incentivize new mining projects [1][14][24]. - **Market Dynamics**: The recent remarks by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell have influenced market expectations for interest rate cuts, positively impacting copper and gold sectors [2][5]. Additional Important Insights - **Demand Drivers**: The main sectors driving copper demand include electricity (approximately 50%), home appliances (14-15%), and automotive (13-14%). The demand is expected to improve in Q4 due to increased orders from the State Grid [7][30]. - **Investment Recommendations**: Investors are advised to focus on companies like Zijin Mining, Luoyang Molybdenum, and Jinchen Group, as well as flexible targets like Hengli Nonferrous, which are expected to perform well in the upcoming period [3][34]. - **Long-term Supply Trends**: The global copper supply is not expected to see significant increases in the coming years, with growth rates projected to be around 2-3% [26][31]. - **Recycling Challenges**: Domestic waste copper recovery is not expected to see substantial growth in the short term due to various policy impacts and market conditions [10][11]. Conclusion The copper industry is poised for growth, driven by strong demand in key sectors and constrained supply. Investment in leading companies within the sector is recommended, with a focus on the upcoming price increases and market dynamics influenced by macroeconomic factors.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Overseas risk appetite continues to contract, with A-shares surging and the Science and Technology Innovation 50 leading the gains. The market is waiting for the further development of the relationships among the US, Europe, Russia, and Ukraine, as well as the guidance from Fed Chair Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting on Friday [2][5]. - The prices of precious metals rebounded due to increased market uncertainty. Copper prices are waiting for a driving force. Aluminum prices are expected to adjust within a limited range. Alumina prices face increasing pressure. Zinc prices are stabilizing and recovering. Lead prices are weakly oscillating. Tin prices are in a tangled state. Industrial silicon prices are weakly oscillating. Lithium carbonate prices are fluctuating widely. Nickel prices are oscillating within a range. Crude oil prices are oscillating. Soybean and rapeseed meal prices may oscillate. Palm oil prices may oscillate and adjust [4][6][8][10][11][13][15][16][19][20][21][22][25]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Macro - Overseas: The Fed's July meeting minutes released hawkish signals. Most people believe that inflation risks are higher than employment risks, with differences focusing on the impact of tariffs and interest rate levels. Some are worried about the instability of long - term inflation expectations and the fragility of the US Treasury market, and also concerned about the potential risks of stablecoins. Trump pressured to remove "dissidents" from the Fed, and the independence of the Fed is under threat. The market risk appetite continues to decline, with the US dollar index oscillating weakly, the 10Y US Treasury yield slightly declining, and US stocks continuing to fall. Gold, copper, and oil all rebounded. Attention is paid to the US August PMI tonight [2]. - Domestic: Leaders conducted intensive research and made speeches. A - shares rebounded after Wednesday's oscillation, with the trading volume shrinking to 2.45 trillion yuan. The market risk appetite recovered, the Science and Technology Innovation 50 rose by more than 3%, and sectors such as GPU and liquor led the gains. The bond market fell again as the stock market strengthened. The short - term risk appetite may be approaching the peak, and the bond market is expected to start a recovery [3]. 3.2 Precious Metals - On Wednesday, international precious metal futures prices both closed higher. Trump's call for Fed Governor Cook to resign increased market uncertainty, the US dollar index turned down, and precious metal prices rebounded. The Fed's July meeting minutes were hawkish. The meeting between the leaders of the US, Ukraine, and Russia cooled down. Investor risk aversion increased. Short - term precious metal prices are expected to maintain an oscillating trend [4][5]. 3.3 Copper - On Wednesday, the main contract of Shanghai copper oscillated narrowly, and LME copper sought support at the 9700 level. The macro situation shows that the Fed is facing a dilemma between rising inflation and a deteriorating employment market. The market is highly concerned about Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Central Bank Annual Meeting on Friday. The CME observation tool shows that the probability of a Fed rate cut in September is 85%. In terms of industry, First Quantum has launched a $1.25 billion expansion project for its Kansanshi copper mine in Zambia. Short - term copper prices are expected to maintain an oscillating state waiting for a driving force [6][7]. 3.4 Aluminum - On Wednesday, the main contract of Shanghai aluminum closed at 20,535 yuan/ton, down 0.19%. The LME aluminum closed at $2,577/ton, up 0.37%. The Fed's July meeting minutes were hawkish. The short - term attitude of the Fed needs to be further observed. Fundamentally, aluminum prices have slightly declined in the past two days. At the transition between the off - season and peak season, downstream restocking at low prices has slightly improved, and the spot discount has converged. Technically, the downward adjustment range of aluminum prices is expected to be limited [8][9]. 3.5 Alumina - On Wednesday, the main contract of alumina futures closed at 3,147 yuan/ton, up 0.03%. The supply of alumina is expected to increase in the future, and the warehouse receipt inventory continues to accumulate, so the price pressure is increasing. Attention should be paid to the changes in production capacity [10]. 3.6 Zinc - On Wednesday, the main contract of Shanghai zinc oscillated narrowly during the day and slightly shifted upwards at night, and LME zinc closed higher. In July, the import of zinc concentrates exceeded expectations, while the import of refined zinc met expectations. Currently, raw materials are abundant. As zinc prices fall to near the previous low, downstream price fixing at low points increases. Short - term zinc prices are stabilizing and recovering, waiting for the guidance from Powell's speech on Friday [11][12]. 3.7 Lead - On Wednesday, the main contract of Shanghai lead oscillated narrowly both during the day and at night, and LME lead closed higher. Globally, the high visible inventory exerts pressure on lead prices. Domestically, the improvement in consumption falls short of expectations, and the production side is relatively stable. Lead prices lack the driving force to rise but also have no continuous downward momentum due to cost support. The fundamentals maintain a state of weak supply and demand [13][14]. 3.8 Tin - On Wednesday, the main contract of Shanghai tin first declined and then rebounded during the day and moved horizontally at night, and LME tin oscillated. In July, Myanmar's tin mines resumed production, but China's imports from Myanmar decreased instead. Indonesia's exports of refined tin decreased month - on - month, and overseas supplies remained tight. In the short term, the low LME inventory is difficult to reverse. Near Powell's speech, the expectation of a rate cut in September is volatile, and tin prices are in a tangled state [15]. 3.9 Industrial Silicon - On Wednesday, the main contract of industrial silicon oscillated weakly. Fundamentally, the supply side is showing a marginal loosening trend, while the demand side has limited consumption growth. The social inventory decreased slightly last week. The domestic anti - involution sentiment has cooled down. Short - term futures prices are expected to enter a weakly oscillating state [16][17]. 3.10 Carbonate Lithium - On Wednesday, carbonate lithium was weakly running, and the spot price was stable. An upstream salt factory in Jiangxi announced the resumption of production, but the actual output in August is expected to be limited. The core factor driving the wide - range price fluctuations may be the market's lack of confidence in the supply contraction promoted by policies. Short - term lithium prices may fluctuate widely due to emotional disturbances [19]. 3.11 Nickel - On Wednesday, nickel prices oscillated. The Fed's July meeting minutes showed that the economic outlook remains pessimistic. Under the expectation of abundant nickel ore supply, the price is still strong, but nickel iron plants are under cost pressure. The refined nickel market is warming up. Nickel prices are at the lower end of the range, and attention should be paid to the rebound at low levels [20]. 3.12 Crude Oil - On Wednesday, crude oil oscillated and strengthened. The market is waiting for the progress of the tripartite peace talks, and the market disturbances are relatively limited. The significant inventory reduction by the EIA has temporarily boosted market sentiment. However, the bearish fundamentals and the expectation of cooling geopolitical risks remain unchanged, and oil prices maintain an oscillating and wait - and - see state [21]. 3.13 Soybean and Rapeseed Meal - On Wednesday, the soybean meal 01 contract fell, and the rapeseed meal 01 contract rose. The second - day inspection results showed that the number of soybean pods in Nebraska was good, while that in Indiana was slightly lower than the same period last year. The dry weather in the US soybean - producing areas is expected to continue, and the yield per unit may be lowered. US soybean growers hope to reach a trade agreement with China. Short - term soybean and rapeseed meal prices may oscillate [22][23][24]. 3.14 Palm Oil - On Wednesday, the palm oil 01 contract fell. The latest data shows that the export demand for Malaysian palm oil is good, which supports the price and limits the decline. The US's exemption obligation for small refineries may be introduced earlier than expected, and US soybean oil oscillated and fell. Short - term palm oil prices may oscillate and adjust [25][26].
