In October 2025, the 2025 China International Mining Conference was successfully held at the Tianjin Meijiang Convention and Exhibition Centre. Guided by the theme "Connectivity and Shared Prosperity", the conference brought together mining authorities, industry associations, leading enterprises and supply-chain service providers from many countries and regions, focusing on core issues including the green transformation of mining, innovation in smart extraction, cross-border resource coordination, and the stability of industrial and supply chains. It provided an important international platform for global mining policy alignment, project negotiation, resource exchange and technology sharing.PNG Mining was invited to attend the conference with a delegation, seizing the opportunity for industry exchange and cooperation. In parallel, it organised a dedicated working team to carry out on-site field surveys and in-depth project inspections in Papua New Guinea. This dual-track approach consolidated the foundation for cooperation and gave strong impetus to high-quality, pragmatic cross-border mining cooperation between China and Papua New Guinea.
As a professional enterprise deeply engaged in mineral development in the South Pacific, PNG Mining has long focused on the compliant exploration, green development and sustainable operation of high-quality overseas mineral resources. Having cultivated the local mining market in Papua New Guinea for many years, the company is well versed in local mining policies and regulations, the business environment and practical project operation procedures, and has accumulated mature localised management experience and a strong reserve of high-quality mineral projects. At the Tianjin International Mining Conference, PNG Mining took an active part in the keynote forum, the transnational mining cooperation matchmaking sessions and dedicated project negotiation events, carefully assessing new trends in the global mining market, new directions in mineral investment policy and new developments in green mine and smart mining. It proactively engaged with large domestic mining groups, geological exploration institutions and mining technology and equipment companies, exchanged views on new models and pathways for overseas mineral development cooperation, and discussed joint project development, technology collaboration and cross-border mineral trade, reaching a number of preliminary cooperation agreements and laying a solid foundation for subsequent joint development.
Papua New Guinea is richly endowed with mineral resources. Strategic minerals such as gold, copper, nickel and cobalt are abundant, with high ore grades and enormous development potential, making the country an important region in China's overseas strategic mineral resource cooperation layout. To gain an accurate picture of its ongoing projects, refine subsequent development plans and consolidate the groundwork for project implementation, PNG Mining carried out a dedicated field investigation in Papua New Guinea at the same time. The investigation team went deep into core exploration blocks as well as proposed and ongoing mine sites, conducting on-site geological surveys, verification of mineral reserves, research on mining support facilities and assessment of ecological and environmental conditions, so as to fully understand the resource distribution, mining suitability and long-term development value of each site. Meanwhile, the delegation held several rounds of discussions with local mining and energy authorities, local industry associations and local partner enterprises, covering key matters such as mining title approval procedures, environmental standards for extraction, local employment guarantees, tax and fee policies and local social responsibility requirements. By clarifying the core requirements for compliant development and operation item by item, the company effectively mitigated overseas mining investment and operational risks and ensured the orderly progress of its subsequent projects.
