CHINAGOLDINTL (02099) has been selected for the Hang Seng Growth Engagement Index and the Hang Seng Hong Kong Stock Connect Central State-Owned Enterprises Quality Index.

CHINAGOLDINTL (02099) announced that the company has been selected for the Hang Seng Growth Index and the Hang Seng Hong Kong Stock Connect State-owned Enterprise Quality Index. This change will be implemented after the close of trading on September 4, 2026, and will take effect from September 7. The Hang Seng Growth Index aims to reflect the overall performance of securities listed in Hong Kong that are most sensitive to changes in the stock market. It consists of 40 large and medium-sized listed companies that are most sensitive to market fluctuations. The index is compiled using a beta-weighting method and has a limit on the weight of individual constituent stocks. The Hang Seng Hong Kong Stock Connect State-owned Enterprise Quality Index selects stocks from the pool of state-owned enterprises, aiming to capture the risk premium of quality factors by including the top 40% in quality score rankings from state-owned enterprises, with adjustments made for weighting bias. All constituent stocks meet the trading eligibility criteria for Hong Kong Stock Connect. The company's simultaneous inclusion in two distinct Hang Seng thematic indices represents dual recognition from an international authoritative index compiling agency. On one hand, it signifies that the company's recent high growth performance has led to stock price elasticity and market trading liquidity being widely recognized by the capital market; on the other hand, it indicates that the company's governance standards, profitability stability, and dividend return capacity as a state-owned enterprise listing platform align with the quality screening criteria of professional institutions. This selection will help broaden the company's coverage amongst domestic and foreign investors, enhance stock trading activity and capital market visibility, provide opportunities for the company to enter high-elasticity thematic funds and index tracking product pools, and further expand coverage for Hong Kong Stock Connect funds and state-owned enterprise thematic allocation funds, providing positive support for the company's long-term development. Mr. Hou Chengguang, the Chairman and CEO of the company, commented: "We are honored that the company has been included in two Hang Seng thematic indices. This is not only a full recognition from the capital market of the company's past operational achievements and growth potential, but it also reflects the sustained optimism regarding the value of the non-ferrous metal mining track and quality state-owned enterprise listing platforms in the market. In the future, the company will continue to adhere to its core strategy, steadily advance key projects such as the expansion of the Jiamu mine and the underground mining construction at the Changshanhao gold mine, maintain stable growth in performance, continuously improve corporate governance, enhance shareholder return levels, and create long-term sustainable value for all shareholders."
