JPMorgan has released a research report reiterating its H-share price target of HK$48 and its A-share (601899.SH) price target of 45 yuan for Zijin Mining (02899), with an "Overweight" rating on both, and continues to list the company as its top pick in the basic materials sector. Zijin Mining's management stated during an investor meeting that the new management team was cultivated internally, with the strategic direction and key priorities remaining unchanged, still focused on expanding copper and gold resources. Furthermore, the current production guidance carries upside risks, and the company is formulating a new round of guidance. Overall mining costs show an upward trend but remain under control, while overseas taxes and royalty fees may see adjustments when metal prices are high. The bank's view on the company's production growth has turned more positive. Besides strong commodity price trends, new acquisitions at reasonable prices and the upcoming update to the 3 to 5-year production guidance are expected to serve as positive catalysts for the stock.
