China Daye Non-Ferrous Metals Mining Limited (CDAYENONFER) will raise the maximum annual transaction values under its Yangxin Hongsheng Sales Framework Agreement to reflect surging copper prices and higher expected volumes.
Key adjustments
1. Revised caps: • 2026 – RMB 7.10 billion (up 65.5% from RMB 4.29 billion) • 2027 – RMB 7.42 billion (up 61.6% from RMB 4.59 billion) • 2028 – RMB 7.74 billion (up 58.1% from RMB 4.90 billion)
2. Historical performance: • 2024 sales to Yangxin Hongsheng: approximately RMB 4.35 billion and RMB 4.99 billion in the two preceding years. • 2025 sales: RMB 3.11 billion. • 4M26 sales: RMB 3.21 billion, still within the existing 2026 cap.
3. Volume outlook (main products) • Copper concentrate: 40,000 t (2026), 42,500 t (2027), 45,000 t (2028) • Anode plates: 18,000 t per year (2026-28)
4. Pricing assumption • Copper base price set at RMB 105,600/ton, aligned with the RMB 106,000/ton spot level in January 2026 and intended to provide a buffer for further price increases.
Rationale Management cites a “resonant upward movement” in copper prices driven by supply constraints, energy-transition demand and AI-related data-center build-outs. Existing caps set in late-2025 are no longer sufficient to meet projected demand from Yangxin Hongsheng through 2028.
Governance and approvals • All other terms of the November 2025 framework agreement remain unchanged. • An SGM will seek independent shareholders’ consent; parent entities Daye Nonferrous Metals Group and CNMC will abstain. • Independent Board Committee and Amasse Capital Limited will opine on fairness. • Internal controls include monthly cap monitoring, a connected-transactions committee, and half-yearly policy reviews.
Regulatory status Given the revised caps exceed the 5% transaction-size threshold under HKEX Listing Rule 14A, the transactions require announcement, annual review and independent shareholders’ approval.
