Mainstream media outlets—including People's Daily Online, Xinhuanet, Economic Daily, Workers' Daily, Xuexi Qiangguo, Securities Times, China Securities Journal, Economic Information Daily, China Nonferrous Metals News, China News Service, China Economic Net, and China.org.cn—have reported on the news from various perspectives. They focused on interpreting the outstanding achievements of China Minmetals in fields such as production and operation, technological innovation, and SOE reform, multi-dimensionally presenting the strong momentum of the company's high-quality development.

Media generally highlighted that China Minmetals, guided by high-quality development, achieved steady operational progress and improvements in both quantity and quality in 2025. The reports pointed out that, thanks to the continuous strengthening of the operational management and control system and the in-depth implementation of the "Amoeba" management model, China Minmetals achieved a 10.2% year-on-year increase in total annual profit and a 67% year-on-year increase in the output of key mineral products. The significant surge in core operating data demonstrates the resilience of the enterprise's development. In addition, the media focused on the consolidation and expansion of China Minmetals' advantages across the entire industry chain. The coverage noted that while the core functions of the metal mining industry continue to strengthen, China Minmetals is promoting the transformation and upgrading of engineering construction, achieving dual-directional efforts in both traditional and strategic emerging industries. The effectiveness of integrated development across the entire industry chain has become further apparent. Various media outlets also reported on the solid achievements of China Minmetals in the fields of risk prevention and control, safety, and environmental protection, as well as the strong political guarantee provided by Party building work for the company's development. These reports highlight the comprehensiveness and stability of China Minmetals' high-quality development.

Technological innovation, as the key driver for China Minmetals' development, became the focus of media coverage. Numerous media outlets focused their reports on China Minmetals' "Five Focuses" scientific and technological innovation work approach, the realization of substantive operation of the National Technological Innovation Center for Efficient Development of Strategic Rare Mineral Resources, and the fact that "China Minmetals was granted 7,637 new patents in 2025, having conquered a batch of key core technologies in its primary responsibilities and main businesses, 37 of which reached international leading levels." These reports highlight China Minmetals' leading technical position in the field of mineral resources.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China Minmetals consolidated its development advantage across the entire industrial chain—integrating resource exploration, design and construction, development and operation, smelting and processing, trade and logistics, the technology industry, and financial capital. The Company received a Grade A rating in the business performance assessment for heads of central SOEs for five consecutive years and maintained a stable position among the top 100 of the Fortune Global 500, which has been widely reported by the media. Meanwhile, the media paid special attention to China Minmetals' achievements in cultivating high-quality enterprises. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China Minmetals added 25 national-level "Little Giant" enterprises (specialized, refined, differential, and innovative) and 13 individual champion enterprises in manufacturing, demonstrating the company's accomplishments in industrial cultivation and upgrading. In the field of reform and governance, China Minmetals has been rated as a Grade A enterprise in the SOE reform assessment by the SASAC of the State Council for four consecutive years, with significant results in building a modernized governance system and capacity; substantive breakthroughs were achieved in specialized integration, providing valuable experience for the deepening of SOE reform.

Regarding the development deployment for 2026 and the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the media focused on interpreting China Minmetals' explicit identification of "guaranteeing the supply and security of national metal and mineral resources" as its core function, and "integrated high-level development across the entire industrial chain" as its core competitiveness. They also noted the established strategic positioning of being the "National Team for Resource Guarantee and Main Force for 'Two-New' Services," as well as the plan to strengthen resource security support through all-round "prospecting, production, supply, storage, and sales," while paying close attention to the specific paths for China Minmetals' high-quality development.

The concentrated coverage by mainstream media both showcased past achievements and reflected high public expectations for China Minmetals' future development. China Minmetals will continue to base its actions on the overall development interests of the country during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. With a stronger sense of responsibility and optimized development measures, the Company will demonstrate new achievements in areas such as guaranteeing resource security, promoting industrial upgrading, and achieving high-level self-reliance and strength in science and technology.
