Focus on the main business (Focus) and fast (Fast) action, and the industrial structure has been continuously optimized. Focus on the optimization and development strategy of the main business. In accordance with the goal of high-quality development and building a world-class enterprise, we will actively adjust the development strategy, on the basis of consolidating and expanding the advantages of lead, zinc and copper smelting and deep processing industries, and based on the "national strategic needs, industry development directions, and enterprises' own capabilities", vigorously develop gold, silver, gallium, germanium, indium, selenium, tellurium, bismuth, platinum, palladium, rhodium and other rare, scattered and rare precious metal industries, cultivate small metals into large industries, and contribute to the security of the national industrial chain and supply chain. Increase mergers and acquisitions around the main business. Focus on lead, zinc, copper and other non-ferrous metals and deep processing, accelerate the mergers and acquisitions of major projects, and achieve new breakthroughs in extending the chain, supplementing the chain, and strengthening the chain. After 127 days, in June 2023, it successfully acquired Foshan Precision, the largest hot bimetal manufacturer in China, completed the leapfrog layout in the new material sector, realized the complementary and coordinated development with the existing production capacity, and became the leading enterprise in the high-end metal composite materials industry. Accelerate the digital and intelligent transformation of traditional industries. We will go all out to promote the 300,000 tons/year expansion project of the Shiling East Mine Section of Phase I of Fankou Lead-Zinc Mine Resource Integration, and the 6,000 tons/day mining and dressing expansion and transformation project of Guangxi Mining, further enhance the possession of mineral resources, and make full use of emerging technologies such as 5G, industrial Internet, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence to carry out all-round and full-chain transformation of traditional industries such as mining and smelting, so as to achieve high-end, intelligent and green transformation.
Actions speak louder than words, alliance synergy, quality and efficiency improvement have achieved remarkable results. Keeping in mind that "sweat is heavier than saliva, and actual performance is more important than words", we actively responded to the complex and severe economic situation, comprehensively launched the special action to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and formulated 26 key measures from the five dimensions of incremental efficiency, quality and efficiency, cost reduction and efficiency, innovation and efficiency, and coordination and efficiency, so as to lay a good "golden abacus", tighten the "money bag", and live a "tight life". Give full play to the synergistic advantages of production, supply, marketing and finance, change the name of the trade division to the supply chain division, promote the upgrading of trade to supply chain integration services, and use the domestic and foreign markets, futures and spot two means to increase raw material procurement and product sales, to ensure the safety and stability of the supply chain industrial chain. Give full play to the professional and technical advantages and talent advantages of domestic geology, mining, mineral processing, machinery and equipment, and collaboratively solve the technical problems of overseas mines, and send 11 people to overseas mines this year to investigate and participate in production management, so as to improve the management and control level of overseas enterprises. From January to May this year, the company's concentrate lead-zinc-copper metal volume and smelting copper-lead-zinc products all achieved growth, the operating performance remained stable, and the production cost decreased significantly.
Innovation and Inner-control to promote the steady and far-reaching development of the enterprise. Concept innovation and thinking "to solve the problem". At the beginning of the year, Zhongjin Lingnan organized a reform and development retreat of "working together to overcome difficulties", and the company's leaders, affiliated enterprises and the main persons in charge of various departments and offices of the headquarters had the courage to break the ice of "ideological solidification", and actively explored new ideas, new methods and new measures to promote the high-quality development of the enterprise, forming a vivid situation of thinking in one place and working hard in one place. Scientific and technological innovation is the "way to answer questions". Revise Zhongjin Lingnan's "Administrative Measures for Scientific and Technological Innovation Awards" and "Administrative Measures for the Responsibility System of Scientific Research Project Leaders" and other systems, establish an incentive mechanism for scientific and technological talents, strengthen in-depth cooperation between industry, university and research, appoint experts from Central South University, Lanzhou University, Shanghai University and other experts as members of the company's science and technology committee, sign a number of major scientific and technological projects, accelerate the transformation and application of scientific research achievements, enhance the level of scientific and technological innovation in the fields of high-end manufacturing, "three rare" and new metal materials, and strive to create a source of original technology. Compliance control builds the foundation for development. Zhongjin Lingnan has introduced 16 systems, including the "Great Compliance System Construction Plan", "Compliance Management Measures" and "Compliance Management Manual", improved the compliance management operation mechanism, strengthened internal audit in engineering construction and other fields, rectified risks and hidden dangers with an iron hand, took precautions to prevent flood control and heatstroke prevention and cooling, actively promoted the construction of smart mines and smart factories, and made every effort to prevent and resolve risks.
