Bulletin Express04-27

Jiaxin International Resources Investment Co., Ltd. published its inaugural Environmental, Social and Governance Report, detailing the first year of phase-I commercial production at the Boguty open-pit tungsten mine in Kazakhstan and the Group’s 2025 ESG performance.

Production and Operations • Phase-I commercial output began in April 2025 with a designed annual mining and processing capacity of 3.30 million tonnes of ore, supported by a completed processing plant and a 3.5 km² tailings storage facility sized for 39.20 million m³. • Local procurement reached KZT 9.55 billion (≈ CNY 127 million), accounting for about 50 % of total purchasing; 135 suppliers were qualified (43 from Mainland China, 92 from Kazakhstan/other regions).

Environmental Performance (calendar year 2025) • Scope 1 emissions: 3,563.09 tCO₂e; Scope 2: 79,900.61 tCO₂e; combined Scope 1+2: 83,463.70 tCO₂e, equal to 213.46 tCO₂e per employee. • Air pollutants: SO₂ 68.75 t, NOₓ 34.61 t, particulate matter 850.90 t. • Energy use: 99.46 million kWh (254,370 kWh per employee); 12.90 million kWh from direct fuels and 86.55 million kWh from purchased power. • Water withdrawal: 4.29 million m³, of which 4.00 million m³ was recycled; intensity 10,979.91 m³ per employee. • Waste: hazardous 43.61 t (0.11 t/employee); non-hazardous 349.59 t (0.89 t/employee). • No environmental violations, spill events or non-compliances were recorded.

Climate Commitments • The Board targets carbon peaking by 2030, a plateau during 2030-35 and progressive reductions toward carbon neutrality by 2060. • Scenario analysis identifies extreme weather and tightening carbon policies as principal physical and transition risks; increased renewable-energy use and resource-efficiency projects are key opportunities.

Workforce and Safety • Headcount totalled 391 (92.6 % male, 7.4 % female); 69.6 % of employees are based in Kazakhstan. • Investment in workplace safety reached CNY 10.52 million; no fatalities, recordable injuries or lost-time incidents occurred in 2025. • Occupational-health check-up coverage and three-tier safety-training coverage both achieved 100 %.

Human Capital Development • Training spend amounted to CNY 1.07 million; employees received an average of 133 training hours, with a 100 % pass rate for special-operation certifications. • Local capacity-building included welding and electrical courses for 53 residents and internship programmes for 30 technical-college graduates.

Community and Social Contributions • Donations and in-kind support to local schools and kindergartens totalled CNY 1.30 million. • A 24.6 km wildlife and park water-supply pipeline was completed for the Charyn Nature Reserve, enhancing regional biodiversity protection.

Governance • The Board oversees ESG through a dedicated committee; company-wide anti-corruption policies yielded zero investigated cases in 2025. • A digital risk-management platform now monitors procurement, warehouse and sales data in real time, achieving a 100 % collection rate on concentrate sales.

Jiaxin International states that it will integrate an ore-sorting system in 2026 and launch phase-II production in 2027 while maintaining its “zero severe incident” environmental and safety targets.
