The Company's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Liangyou Jiang, said, "The performance of the Company in the third quarter has been steadily improving. Revenue, mine operating profit, and net profit are all higher than the same period in 2020; operating cash flow has maintained strong growth, which means we are continuing to create value for shareholders. Taking advantage of high metal prices in the third quarter of 2021, we increased the utilization rate of low-grade ores with operating costs being strictly controlled. We adopted a flexible mining plan, which is responsive and tailored to the market conditions. The flexible mining plan can effectively maintain the stability of our operation results, and reduce the impact and risk of metal price fluctuations to ensure sustainable growth in our operation performance. We are confident that the Company can meet or even exceed the annual gold and copper production guidelines issued at the beginning of the year, and continue to reward shareholders with outstanding performance."
