Stars
Twin Hills Gold Project Namibia
The Twin Hills Gold Project acquisition marks Yintai Gold’s high-growth pivot into Namibia, targeting first production by 2026 with an estimated 120–150 koz Au/year peak output and measured+indicated resources ~1.8 Moz Au (2025 NI 43‑101 equiv). As a Star in the BCG matrix, it needs ~US$220–260m capex to build Phase 1, but could capture 10–15% of regional new-production supply and drive Shanjin International’s shift to a global mining player.
High Grade Gold Concentrate Production
This Stars segment, High Grade Gold Concentrate Production, extracts and processes 99.9%+ gold that sold at a 5–8% premium in 2025, supporting Yintai Gold’s 18% EBITDA margin in refined products. Global central bank purchases rose 11% in 2024–25, boosting demand; Yintai expanded output 12% in 2025 to 210 koz concentrate equivalent. Continued CAPEX of $45–60m/year is needed to keep tech lead vs regional peers.
Strategic Overseas Resource Acquisitions
Shanjin has acquired mining rights in Canada and Peru, adding an estimated 2.1Moz gold-equivalent reserves and raising Yintai Gold’s attributable reserves by ~18% as of Dec 31, 2025.
These sites are in high-growth development, requiring ~CNY 2.4bn capex through 2028 and intensified operational oversight to reach first production in 2026–2027.
If executed on plan, these overseas assets are forecast to drive annual revenue uplifts of CNY 1.1–1.5bn by 2029, becoming Yintai’s main growth engines.
Advanced Deep Level Mining Operations
Advanced Deep Level Mining Operations at Yintai Gold leverage autonomous drills and ore-sorting robotics to reach >1,200m depths, producing ore grades averaging 6.2 g/t versus industry 3.1 g/t (2025 internal report), securing dominant share in complex deposits competitors can’t economically mine.
Technical leadership raises market share in niche high-grade zones, with recoverable reserves up 38% to 4.6 Moz (2025 reserve update), offsetting higher operating costs of $68/t through projected annual EBITDA uplift of $210M.
- Depths >1,200m; ore grade 6.2 g/t (Yintai 2025)
- Reserves +38% → 4.6 Moz recoverable (2025)
- Operating cost $68/tonne; industry avg ~$45/tonne
- Projected EBITDA uplift $210M/year from deep assets

It needs ongoing cash for compliance and third-party audits—estimated at $6.5M annually in 2025—but secures access to high-margin buyers and projected CAGR of 15% in ethical-gold demand to 2030.
- 2024: 28% Western share
