Zhaojin Gold: Core strategy to enhance resource security capability through exploration and careful mergers and acquisitions.

On January 19th, Zha Jin Gold stated on the interactive platform that in the face of the continuously rising gold prices in the current market environment, the company highly values the strategic layout of upstream gold resources, seeing it as a core measure to ensure sustainable development. The company's upstream resource planning for 2026 will mainly focus on the following two aspects: first, enhancing exploration work to increase resource reserves. The company will continue to deepen exploration work within its existing mining rights scope, dig deep into internal potential, and focus on advancing the exploration of the North Island Cassy Mountain mining rights to provide solid resource security for the company's medium and long-term development. Second, in response to the uncertainty brought by high fluctuations in gold prices, the company will maintain a highly cautious attitude, rigorously evaluate external merger and acquisition opportunities, focus on risk control and high-quality projects, and ensure the stability of the strategic layout. In conclusion, the company will focus on exploration and cautious mergers and acquisitions as the core, comprehensively enhance resource security capabilities, and lay a solid foundation for the company's long-term development.
