On July 12, 2025, a precious metal robbery that shocked the world occurred on a remote highway in Puebla, Mexico: 12 armed robbers accurately ambushed a mining company's transport convoy and robbed 33 tons of high-purity gold and silver ore (valued at US$234 million) in just 7 minutes. The robbers used modified off-road vehicles, signal jammers and pre-dug mountain roads to escape, highlighting their high professionalism.



This robbery reflects Mexico's severe security crisis - there were 26,000 highway robberies nationwide in the first half of 2025, an average of one every 50 minutes. The more far-reaching impact is on the global precious metals market: the incident caused silver futures prices to continue to rise, and the mining companies involved were forced to switch to sea transportation, causing transportation costs to soar by 40%.



The Mexican government urgently launched "Operation Thunder", deployed 3,000 National Guards and enabled drone monitoring, and signed a cross-border security agreement with the United States to track the flow of funds. This incident deeply reveals the infiltration of criminal groups into the precious metals supply chain and the transportation security challenges faced by resource-based countries.

Zijin Mining's core asset, Kamoa-Kakula, Africa's largest copper mine, suffered a sudden well flooding accident, resulting in a sharp reduction in the planned copper production in 2025 from 520,000-580,000 tons to 370,000-420,000 tons. The accident was caused by the damage of underground pumping facilities caused by multiple mine earthquakes in late May, and groundwater flooded the mining surface in the eastern area. At present, the western area has gradually resumed production, and the company is urgently installing high-power water pumps to drain water, and it is expected to be fully restored in August 2025.

This production reduction will reduce Zijin Mining's equity copper production by 44,000-93,000 tons, directly impacting its annual target of 1.15 million tons of mineral copper. As the largest source of incremental production in the original plan (expected to increase production by 143,000 tons), Kamoa's production reduction forced the company to launch an emergency plan: using the resumption of production in the western area, deploying 3.8 million tons of surface stockpiled ore (grade 3.2%), and developing high-grade mining sections. Although the third phase of the concentrator was not affected, it remains unclear whether the full-year target can be achieved.

The latest ranking of global mining companies released by an international authority shows that the industry is undergoing a structural adjustment. BHP Billiton (BHP) with a market capitalization of $126 billion and diversified resource reserves has been the top of the list, while Rio Tinto (Rio Tinto) with a market capitalization of $103 billion stays in the second place. China's mining companies have performed brilliantly: China Shenhua ranked third in the world with a market capitalization of more than 820 billion yuan, and Zijin Mining jumped to the fifth place, becoming the only Chinese company to enter the top five in the global metal mining industry, with its copper and gold production and lithium resources layout highlighting its strategic ambitions.

The rankings, which combine market capitalization, production, resource reserves and sustainability, reveal three major trends: 1) Chinese companies are accelerating the layout of new energy metals based on their traditional energy advantages; 2) green mines and energy saving and emission reduction have become core competitiveness; and 3) geopolitics and market fluctuations are forcing the industry to innovate its strategies. This article analyzes the key data of headline companies and the direction of industry change.
