Company Statement
Central China Goldfields plc brings together a team with many years of technical, corporate and cross cultural management experience including decades of living and working in China. Combining our expertise with our network of contacts and understanding of Chinese business culture, we believe we are ideally placed to become one of the premier mining and exploration companies operating in China.
The Company was incorporated on 3 November 2004 and listed its shares on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market on 30 March 2005. At the time of Admission to AIM, Central China Goldfields had only its Snow Mountain Gold Project located in Sichuan Province as the initial property.
Since listing on AIM, much progress has been made. We now have several joint ventures with Chinese partners, and are actively working in some of the most potentially productive yet under-explored regions in the country.
Vision and Group Strategy
The Company’s principal objective is to increase shareholder value by exploring for, acquiring and developing gold and other mineral prospects in the People’s Republic of China.
The vision of the Company is to become the premier mining and exploration company in China.
The Directors have set out a three pronged strategy to achieve this:
- Organic growth through the utilisation of current geological concepts together with efficient and effective modern exploration technology
- Development growth by expansion and modernisation of undervalued operating mines
- Mergers and Acquisitions
Current Operations
Introduction to Central China Goldfield’s projects
China lies in a very prospective geological region. The collision of four continental fragments has created a series of belts conducive for mineralisation.
The Company currently has four projects which are located in some of the most prolific belts in China. Two of these projects (Nimu and Snow Mountain) have Flagship status.
Nimu Copper Project
An advanced copper – molybdenum project. Our partner, the SBMGE, has defined +1.3 billion pounds of contained copper in oxide form. Central China has identified eight areas where copper may be concentrated and exploration work is continuing.
Snow Mountain Gold Project
An advanced Carlin style gold deposit. Our partner, also the SBMGE, defined approximately 1 million ounces* of inferred resources. Details of these can be found in the Admission Document (March 2005) and in the Snow Mountain section.
Our two other projects are:
Dong Mao Huo
A small inactive gold mine with inferred resources of 130,000 oz of oxide gold. We are assessing the project to see if we can restart and increase the production of this mine.
De Ming Ding
A grass roots exploration copper project close to the giant Qu Long copper deposit.
