Stock Plummets Over 6%! Tibet Summit Resources' Controlling Shareholder Probed by Regulator, All Equity Frozen

Deep News2025-07-16

Tibet Summit Resources (600338.SH) shares tumbled at market open on July 16, closing the morning session down 6.47% at ¥10.4 per share. The company's market capitalization contracted to ¥9.51 billion following regulatory developments.

The plunge came after the mining firm disclosed that China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) launched an investigation into controlling shareholder Tacheng International Resources Co., Ltd. ("Tacheng International") for suspected information disclosure violations. Simultaneously, all 28.0651 million shares held by Tacheng International—representing 3.07% of total equity—were judicially frozen with additional freeze orders pending. This reduced the combined stake of Tacheng's concert parties to 7.98%.

This regulatory action follows multiple prior violations. Since 2022, Tacheng International received warning letters and public censures from both Tibet CSRC bureau and Shanghai Stock Exchange for failures including delayed disclosure of debt settlement agreements and equity freeze information. Records show: - December 2022: Tibet CSRB issued warning for undisclosed 2016 debt settlement supplements - June 2023: Shanghai Stock Exchange censured Tacheng for non-disclosure causing share freezes - January 2024: Revealed 38.25% equity freeze occurring 30 months earlier

While specifics of the current probe remain undisclosed, market observers consider the pattern suggests potential material omission or delayed disclosures.

Tacheng's frozen assets are now being liquidated, with 3.5 million shares auctioned on JD's judicial platform for ¥33.725 million (¥9.64/share) on July 15—a 15.35% discount to that day's closing price.

Despite short-term pressure, Tibet Summit Resources demonstrates robust fundamentals. Q1 2025 results revealed: - Revenue surged 86.67% YoY to ¥573 million - Net profit attributable to shareholders skyrocketed 610.6% to ¥126 million - Non-GAAP net profit jumped 613.06% to ¥126 million - Gross margin remained strong at 53.73%

The company's July 14 earnings forecast anticipates H1 2025 net profit between ¥204 million and ¥306 million. As a key nonferrous metals player, Tibet Summit operates mining, processing, and smelting facilities in Tajikistan with current 4 million-ton annual ore capacity expanding to 6 million tons. Analysts note its lithium resource development could become a significant profit driver if projects advance as planned.
