China Daye Non-Ferrous Metals Mining Limited reported audited revenue of RMB66.05 billion for the year ended 31 December 2025, up 14.17% year on year, driven by higher realised prices of cathode copper, gold, silver and sulphuric acid.
Gross profit fell 20.92% to RMB1.28 billion as treatment and refining charges for imported copper concentrate remained depressed, compressing smelting margins. The gross profit margin narrowed to 1.94% from 2.80% in 2024.
Group profit for the year declined 44.04% to RMB5.37 million, while profit attributable to shareholders increased 33.24% to RMB53.55 million, aided by lower minority interests. Basic earnings per share stood at RMB0.30 fen (2024: RMB0.22 fen).
Cost of sales climbed 15.18% to RMB64.77 billion, outpacing revenue growth and reflecting higher raw-material procurement prices. Selling expenses rose to RMB44.80 million (+67.3%), whereas administrative expenses fell 14.1% to RMB740.42 million, and finance costs eased 9.1% to RMB463.28 million. Net exchange gains of RMB134.76 million turned “other gains and losses” to a positive RMB43.97 million (2024: RMB-98.59 million).
Operating cash flow remained positive; cash and bank balances increased to RMB1.92 billion (2024: RMB1.53 billion). The current ratio improved to 1.36 (2024: 1.25). Net debt totalled RMB14.54 billion, yielding a gearing ratio of 463.53%, broadly stable year on year. Total borrowings were RMB16.32 billion, with 58% classed as long-term.
Production highlights included 18,800 t of mined copper (+3.54%), 719,000 t of copper cathode (+2.18%), 612.28 t of silver (-5.26%), and 2.71 million tonnes of sulphuric acid (+31.83%).
The board proposed no dividend.
Outlook for 2026 targets 19,000 t of mined copper, 713,000 t of cathode copper and 2.07 million tonnes of sulphuric acid, while management plans RMB328.05 million of capital expenditure focused on mine expansion, intelligent-mine projects, rare-metal recovery and large-scale equipment upgrades. The company’s strategic priorities remain cost control, reserve growth and advancing digital and green initiatives amid continued pressure on global smelting fees.
