China Gold International Resources included in Hang Seng High Beta and SCHK Central SOEs Quality Indices

China Gold International Resources Corp. Ltd., listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: CGG) and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX: 2099), has announced its inclusion in two prominent Hong Kong stock market indices: the Hang Seng High Beta Index and the Hang Seng SCHK Central SOEs Quality Index. The adjustments are set to take effect on September 7, 2026, following the market close on September 4, 2026.

The Hang Seng High Beta Index, composed of 40 large- and mid-cap listed companies in Hong Kong, aims to reflect the performance of securities most sensitive to market movements. It is weighted by beta coefficients, with a cap on individual constituent weightings. The Hang Seng SCHK Central SOEs Quality Index, on the other hand, selects central state-owned enterprises and focuses on capturing the Quality factor premium by including the top 40% of stocks ranked by quality score, with weight tilting applied. All included stocks are tradable under the Southbound Stock Connect scheme.

The dual inclusion in these indices signifies significant recognition of China Gold International Resources' market performance and governance standards. The company’s share price elasticity and market liquidity, driven by its robust growth, have been acknowledged by the capital market. Additionally, the Company's standardized governance, stable profitability, and dividend return capabilities as a central SOE listed platform align with the quality screening criteria of professional institutions.

"This dual inclusion is a testament to the Company's past operational achievements and growth potential, and it reflects the market's sustained optimism towards the non-ferrous mining sector and high-quality central SOE listed platforms," stated Mr. Chenguang Hou, Chairman and CEO of China Gold International Resources. "We will continue to focus on our core corporate strategy and key projects, while enhancing corporate governance and shareholder returns."

China Gold International Resources, headquartered in British Columbia, Canada, operates two mines: the CSH Gold Mine in Inner Mongolia, China, and the Jiama Copper-Gold Polymetallic Mine in Tibet, China. The company’s strategic objectives include expanding production, growing its resource base, and acquiring new international projects. It remains committed to delivering long-term sustainable value for its shareholders.

The inclusion in these indices is expected to enhance the Company’s domestic and overseas investor coverage, improve share trading activity, and increase its visibility in the capital markets. It also provides opportunities for the Company to enter the allocation pool of high-beta thematic funds and index tracking products, potentially capturing long-term capital inflows from Stock Connect funds, central SOE thematic allocation funds, and other institutional investors.
