The first battle of successful landing in energy storage! ZHAOJIN MINING (01818) global integrated operation guarantee system injects hard core power into overseas expansion and efficiency enhancement.

Recently, the overseas backbone mine of ZHAOJIN MINING (01818) - the Abuja Gold Mine in Cote d'Ivoire with a capacity of 33.28MWp/37.50MWh for solar energy storage project was successfully completed and connected to the grid for power generation. The successful commissioning of this project not only solved the bottleneck of electricity that hindered the stable and efficient operation of the company, but also provided a strong guarantee for increasing production capacity, reducing costs, and improving efficiency for the company. It marked the successful conclusion of the company's global integrated operation support system in actual combat for the first time. Since 2025, the power supply in Cote d'Ivoire has been continuously tight, and the production capacity of the Abuja Gold Mine has been severely limited. Faced with urgent production needs, ZHAOJIN MINING quickly initiated a global integrated operation support mechanism, tailored a solution for the Abuja Gold Mine solar energy storage project from the dimensions of talent dispatch, fund coordination, equipment procurement, technical support, and logistics support in the entire chain, ensuring the efficient progress of the project construction. After the project was commissioned, the Abuja Gold Mine successfully built a "photovoltaic + energy storage + grid power + diesel generator" multi-energy complementary smart microgrid system, realizing seamless switching between grid-connected and off-grid modes, solving problems such as equipment downtime and production interruptions caused by insufficient power supply and power switching, and ensuring continuous and stable production at the mine. At the same time, compared to the traditional "grid power + diesel power" supply model, the solar storage system significantly reduces the electricity costs for the mine, creating a long-term cost advantage for the mine. It is worth noting that this project is the first large-scale mine new energy demonstration station completed and put into operation in Cote d'Ivoire after the promulgation of the "New Energy Law" in the country. This breakthrough achievement not only demonstrates ZHAOJIN MINING's commitment to ESG concepts and the construction of green mines, but also demonstrates with practical actions a good image of Chinese mining enterprises practicing responsible development concepts in overseas investment and operations, setting a green benchmark for the international development of China National Gold Group Gold Jewellery industry. The period of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" is a key window for ZHAOJIN MINING to implement its "Development Doubling Plan", and the company's overseas business strategic layout is clear. With the global integrated operation support system validated in this practical operation, ZHAOJIN MINING will accelerate the construction and operation progress of key overseas projects such as the Abuja Gold Mine, Odlan Mining, and King Gold Mining, accelerate the development of overseas mine industry clusters, and strive to become a model and leader for the global development of the China National Gold Group Gold Jewellery mining industry.
