Among them, accounts receivable were deducted by 1.70 billion yuan year on year and inventory was reduced by 1.19 billion yuan year on year; 2) The share of profit and loss of minority shareholders increased 3.4 percentage points to 24.0%.

The overall gross margin was 9.7%, an increase of 0.05 percentage points over the previous year.

The company's resource development business achieved revenue of 6.82 billion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year decrease of 23.1%, gross profit margin of 31.0%, a year-on-year decrease of 5.4 percentage points, which was greatly affected by the decline in average prices of metals such as nickel, cobalt, copper, and zinc. In 2024, the company's Shandak copper and gold mine extraction and expansion project was completed, and crude copper production capacity is expected to increase by 30,000 tons. Siadik Copper Mine and Enak Copper Mine are also being actively promoted. In terms of new materials, the Luoyang Sinosilicon Hi-Tech Phase II project is expected to be put into operation in the first quarter of 2024, which is expected to further increase the revenue and profit of the resource development business.
