倫敦, 2025年9月27日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 一項針對英國 31 種乾犬糧的全生命周期評估顯示，植物性飲食在所有主要環境指標上皆穩定優於肉類為基礎的替代方案。這項研究由諾丁漢大學的獸醫研究人員 Rebecca Brociek 與 David Gardner 教授主導，並發表於《永續食物系統前沿》（Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems），凸顯了寵物飼主與寵糧產業在減少生態「爪印」方面的重要契機。關鍵成果溫室氣體排放：植物性犬糧每 1,000 大卡僅產生 2.82 公斤二氧化碳當量，相比之下，牛肉配方高達 31.47 公斤，超過十倍之多。土地使用：植物性飲食每 1,000 大卡僅需 2.73 平方公尺土地，而牛肉製品則高達 102.15 平方公尺。用水量：植物性選項每 1,000 大卡耗用 249 公升淡水，遠低於牛肉（575 公升）或羊肉（684 公升）。營養與酸化污染：牛肉飲食所產生的酸化與優養化排放量，分別比植物性飲食高出 14 至 16 倍。中間方案：以家禽為基礎或半合成獸醫配方的影響雖低於紅肉，但仍遠高於植物性食品。在一般 9 年的壽命中，若一隻 20 公斤的拉布拉多犬完全食用植物性乾糧，將僅需 8,964 平方公尺土地，並產生相當於 2.8 趟倫敦—紐約往返航班的溫室氣體排放。若同樣的狗以牛肉為基礎的犬糧餵養，則需要 334,851 平方公尺土地，並排放相當於 31.3 趟倫敦—紐約往返航班的溫室氣體。為何重要隨著全球飼養寵物的人數不斷上升，寵物食品需求日益增加，動物性成分所帶來的環境衝擊已無法再被忽視。研究人員總結指出，在寵糧中增加植物性成分，是一種務實且可擴展的方法，可有效減少土地使用、排放、營養污染與水資源壓力，而不會影響熱量供應。研究並指出：「讓狗狗食用植物性飲食，將顯著提升家庭的環境永續性」，以及「低環境衝擊的寵糧成分，將是降低[寵糧]產業生態『爪印』的關鍵。」雖然有人認為使用副產品如「肉粉」會更具永續性，但研究發現，這些往往位列影響最大的成分之一，並未能真正縮小差距。更廣泛的脈絡這項研究支持了先前的相關研究。2023 年，獸醫學教授 Andrew Knight 曾證實，若全球的寵物犬全面改採營養完整的純素飲食，所節省的溫室氣體排放量將相當於 英國年排放量的 1.5 倍，同時可提供足以餵養 4.5 億人（約等於歐盟人口）的食物能量。到 2025 年底，已有至少11 篇經同儕審查的研究顯示，狗狗採用植物性飲食後健康狀況皆有正面結果。Knight 教授進一步說明：「較高比例的植物性成分，或營養完整的植物性飲食，能大幅減少伴侶動物的生態足跡。隨著意識逐漸提升，這類飲食可能會從小眾轉為主流——使我們對寵物的關愛，與對地球的責任相互契合。」聯絡資訊Andrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.au+44 7577 899 61來源: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Sep 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The recent Presidential Proclamation from the White House, instituting a substantial one-time fee of US$100,000 for new H-1B visa holders entering the United States, has created uncertainty for employers and professionals navigating the global talent market. While the policy aims to incentivize domestic hiring, it also accelerates the need for cost-effective and compliant international workforce solutions. Galaxy Payroll Group Limited (Nasdaq: GLXG) ("Galaxy" or the "Company"), a leading global payroll provider in the Asia-Pacific region, is committed to helping companies navigate these changes with its specialized suite of services.Rising Demand for EOR and International Payroll ServicesThe new regulation significantly increases the cost and complexity of relocating international talent to the U.S. In response, multinational corporations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups with limited budgets, are expected to seek alternative deployment models to maintain access to a global talent pool without incurring prohibitive expenses.To circumvent the hefty fee and intricate visa processes, businesses are increasingly likely to adopt remote hiring models, engaging talent directly in their home countries. This shift drives demand for Employer of Record (EOR) and international payroll outsourcing services, which allow companies to legally employ staff abroad without establishing a local entity."This policy has created challenges for employers and workers alike," said Mr. Wai Hong Lao, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Our expertise in payroll outsourcing and employment services across Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and Mainland China in the Asia-Pacific region positions us to help companies navigate these changes and ensure full compliance with local regulations."Enhanced Capabilities with Stablecoin SettlementsGalaxy Payroll Group has further enhanced its service offerings by supporting payroll settlements in stablecoins.

This enlarged regional cluster reinforces the Company's position as a strong Cold Chain Hub in ASEAN, capitalizing on the growth of cold storage in the region and leveraging cold storage as a growth driver for the core business.SCGJWD Logistics Co-CEOs: Mr. Bunn Kasemsup (L) and Mr. Charvanin Bunditkitsada (R)Mr. Bunn Kasemsup, Co-CEO of SCGJWD Logistics, remarked that the Company recognized the economic growth potential in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore as leading ASEAN countries driving regional economies. "We are expanding our cold storage warehouse and temperature-controlled transport business from the 'CLMV + China' group of countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Vietnam + China) to these Southeast Asian countries to enhance our position as a Cold Chain Hub in ASEAN – a strong center of the cold storage warehouse business in ASEAN, including the creation of a regional cold storage warehouse clusters."SCGJWD has invested in logistics services in Indonesia since 2017 through joint venture PT SCG Barito Logistics, and is capable of providing country-wide logistics services, covering the major islands of Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali, and Maluku. Services include land transport, general warehousing and dangerous goods storage, with a fleet of more than 200 trucks. In 2025, SCGJWD expects to realize a revenue of US$45 million, an 8% year-on-year increase, mainly from serving customers within the SCGJWD Group and Thai companies investing in Indonesia. SCGJWD has also entered into a joint venture with the Samudera Group, a major Indonesian shipping line operator, to manage cold storage warehouses, and is in negotiations for a business collaboration with a major Indonesian cold storage warehouse operator, which runs seven cold storage warehouses with a combined capacity of 30,000-40,000 pallets.In the Philippines, SCGJWD partnered with Royal Cargo, Inc (RCI), a leading integrated logistics and cold storage service provider in the country, to establish SCG Logistics Philippines Co., Ltd., a joint venture in 2023. SCGJWD recognized growth opportunities in the cold storage business in the Philippines and the potential in Royal Cargo, which operates over 140,000 square meters of cold storage space, capable of accommodating over 33,000 pallets. Discussions are currently underway to further expand investment in the Philippines.Malaysia was the latest country SCGJWD has invested in, partnering with Swift Haulage Berhad (SWIFT), a major integrated logistics service provider listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange, to establish joint venture Swift Cold Chain Sdn Bhd to invest in three cold storage warehouse projects. These are: (1) The GVL Cold Chain project, within Shah Alam International Logistics Hub covering approximately 11,000 m2 with a 10,000 pallet capacity. Construction is expected to be completed in Q4 2025 for service in early 2026; (2) The cold storage warehouse project in Johor Bahru covering 10,000 m2 with a 10,000 pallet capacity. Preparations to start construction are currently under way and are expected to be completed in Q4 2026. Both these projects will require a total investment of more than 800 million baht; (3) The cold storage warehouse construction project in Penang, with an area of 10,000 to 20,000 m2. This project is expected to be finalized in Q1 2027."SCGJWD prioritizes the expansion of its logistics clusters in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore, all of which are leading ASEAN countries with high growth potential. However, due to their archipelago-like geography, freight transport requires expertise and a truly comprehensive service network including solutions to meet the specific needs and addressing logistics and supply chain issues for customers. Therefore, we offer a wide range of services, including land, rail, and water transport; cold storage; general warehousing; and international freight forwarding, to meet the logistics needs of customers in each country and to ship goods from Singapore to Malaysia, the Philippines, or Indonesia," Mr Bunn said.Mr. Charvanin Bunditkitsada, Co-CEO of SCGJWD, stated that the 'CLMV + China' markets are strategically important for SCGJWD's cold storage business, with a broad market base covering both domestic consumption and import-export markets. This collaboration enables SCGJWD to connect and enhance its cross-border transportation services for temperature-controlled goods and general goods on the Thailand-ASEAN-China route. This has also led SCGJWD to adapt its transportation models and routes, including providing cross-border transportation services from other countries to Cambodia during the border closure period.SCGJWD, in collaboration with its partner RMA, has expanded its cold storage warehouse in Cambodia by 1,200 m2, bringing the total floor area to 3,400 m2, with an investment of US$550,000 (approximately 17.5 million baht). Recently, the Company partnered with Express Food Group (EFG), Cambodia's major operator of food chain franchises, including The Pizza Company, Dairy Queen, and Swensen's, to import and transport cooking equipment from Thailand to Cambodia. The Company offered a solution during border closure by adjusting the transportation route through Laos and Vietnam to Cambodia, as well as by sea routes. Furthermore, the Company provided services to 'TOUS les JOURS', a customer of EFG, to transport baking ingredients from Vietnam to its 6-7 branches in Cambodia. The Company also plans to expand its logistics services through a collaboration with its Vietnamese partner Transimex, which is a comprehensive end-to-end logistics provider, to supply temperature-controlled freight services for BigC.SCGJWD's goal is to make cold storage and temperature-controlled transportation a core growth driver, which aligns with the overall projection of the cold storage business in ASEAN from 2022 to 2027. A good example is Indonesia, whose total cold storage market is expected to increase by nearly 80%, from US$6.9 to US$12.5 billion. The Philippines' market is likewise expected to increase by 46.5% from US$5 to US$7.4 billion. Malaysia's market is expected to increase by 29.5% from US$1.836 to US$2.377 billion, and Singapore's market is forecast to increase by 25.6 percent from US$829 million to US$1.041 billion, while Vietnam's market is projected to increase by 47.2% from US$4.3 to US$6.4 billion, and Thailand's market is expected to increase by 38.7% from US$3.4 to US$4.7 billion.In Thailand, SCGJWD is currently expanding its investment in ten cold storage warehouses in six provinces, covering strategic industrial areas of Samut Sakhon, Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Chachoengsao, and Saraburi, as well as the northern province of Chiang Mai, with a combined floor area of over 160,000 square meters, able to support over 100,000 tons of goods or 240,000 pallets. Plans are also afoot to expand investment in Surat Thani and Khon Kaen provinces to increase service potential to ultimately cover all regions of Thailand.For more information, please visit https://www.scgjwd.com/en Press release by MT Multimedia Co Ltd for SCGJWD Logistics PCL.For more information, please contact:Thiyaporn Sriadunphan (Dah)Tel: +66 87 556 6974E-mail: thiyaporn.s@mtmultimedia.comAbout SCGJWD Logistics PCL (SET: SJWD)SCGJWD Logistics PCL was created when SCG Logistics Management Co Ltd and JWD InfoLogistics PCL, two leading logistics and supply chain service providers at the ASEAN level, together announced a merger deal on Oct 24, 2022, to become the largest Integrated Logistics and Supply Chains Solutions Provider in ASEAN.

LONDON, Sept 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new life cycle assessment of 31 dry dog foods in the UK reveals that plant-based diets consistently outperform meat-based alternatives across every major environmental measure. Conducted by University of Nottingham veterinary researchers Rebecca Brociek and Professor David Gardner, and published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, the study underscores a major opportunity for pet owners and the pet food industry to shrink their ecological "pawprint."Key ResultsGreenhouse gas emissions: Plant-based foods produced just 2.82 kg CO₂-eq per 1,000 kcal, compared to 31.47 kg for beef-based formulas - over ten times higher.Land use: Plant-based diets required 2.73 m² per 1,000 kcal, versus 102.15 m² for beef-based products.Water use: Plant-based options consumed 249 L of freshwater per 1,000 kcal, far less than beef (575 L) or lamb (684 L).Nutrient and acidification pollution: Beef-based diets generated 14-16 times more acidifying and eutrophying emissions respectively, than plant-based equivalents.Middle ground: Poultry-based and semi-synthetic veterinary formulas had lower impacts than red meat, but still much higher than plant-based foods.Over a typical nine-year lifespan, feeding a 20 kg Labrador exclusively on plant-based dry food would require 8,964 m² of land and emit greenhouse gases equal to 2.8 London-New York return flights. The same dog fed on beef-based food would need 334,851 m² of land and emit the equivalent of 31.3 such flights.Why It MattersWith pet ownership on the rise worldwide and demand for pet foods increasing, the environmental impact of animal-based ingredients can no longer be overlooked. The researchers conclude that increasing plant-based ingredients in pet diets provides a practical and scalable way to reduce land use, emissions, nutrient pollution, and water stress - without compromising caloric value.They note, "feeding your dog plant-based will significantly improve a households' environmentally sustainability", and that, "… lower-impact pet food ingredients will be essential in reducing the [pet food] sector's ecological paw print."While some suggest that using meat by-products like ‘meat meals' is more sustainable, the study found these often ranked among the highest-impact ingredients, failing to bridge the gap.Broader ContextThis work supports earlier research. In 2023, veterinary professor Andrew Knight demonstrated that switching pet dogs worldwide to nutritionally sound vegan diets could save greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 1.5 times the UK's annual output, while providing enough food energy to feed 450 million people, equivalent to the EU population. By late 2025, at least 11 peer-reviewed studies had also shown positive health outcomes for dogs fed plant-based diets.As Prof. Knight explained, "Higher proportions of plant-based ingredients, or nutritionally complete plant-based diets, can substantially reduce the ecological footprints of companion animals. As awareness grows, such diets may shift from niche to mainstream - aligning our care for pets with responsibility for the planet."Contact InformationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.au+44 7577 899 61SOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Key Takeaways:WORK Medical has formed a new alliance with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association and was appointed as the organization’s “council vice chairman.”The company has also entered into a collaboration with Ruijin Hospital’s Wuxi Branch to accelerate the development of a next-generation, AI-driven smart clinical ecosystemHONG KONG, Sep 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong kicked off a new era in its embrace of virtual assets on Aug. 1 with the official launch of a regulatory and licensing framework for virtual currencies known as stablecoins. A steady stream of Chinese companies has begun experimenting in the city with virtual assets and their underlying blockchain technology since then, covering a wide range of industries.Medical products seller WORK Medical Technology Group Ltd. (WOK.US) became the latest to join that parade, as it unveiled a major new initiative to explore real world asset (RWA) tokenization and related blockchain technology in a partnership with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association, which promotes the high-quality development of the global Web3.0 industry through standardization research and efforts.The deal comes just over a year after WORK Medical listed on the Nasdaq, and is part of the company’s evolving “Healthcare + Payment + Technology = RWA + Web3 + AI” strategy. WORK Medical also plans to strategically collaborate with one or more qualified firms from the financial sector, which would provide a key compliance channel for its asset tokenization ambitions.Tokenized RWA, or real-world assets with value that have been digitalized, is projected to surge to over $50 billion by the end of this year, according to a report published in May by digital currency market-making firm Keyrock and tokenization platform Centrifuge. The report also pointed out that tokenized RWA will be dominated by U.S. treasuries, whose value alone will push the sector size to over $28 billion. Three areas for collaborationWORK Medical laid out three main areas for collaboration with its new Hong Kong partner. The first area involves the tokenization of “high-quality assets owned or invested in by WORK Medical,” the company said. It pointed out it can leverage both its status as a Nasdaq-listed company, as well as its expertise and assets related to its medical device business, including AI healthcare assets. It wasn’t more specific, but assets it could probably tokenize might include its receivables, investment products and intellectual property.The second area WORK Medical’s new partnership will explore is equity investments, which could include co-investments or participation in funds and other financial vehicles to accelerate its move into RWA for potential tokenization and achieve shared strategic goals.The third area involves development of RWA technology, which would leverage the Hong Kong Web30 Association’s recently launched RWA registration platform. That platform facilitates collaboration on a range of related functions, including blockchain-based title verification, asset issuance, and cross-chain transactions, while ensuring regulatory compliance and asset security.The company’s recent activities indicate it is already accumulating the expertise to develop and manage such assets. In February, it announced a partnership with another medical device company that included the potential establishment of “joint investment funds to align industrial and financial resources.” It said that partnership could also involve investment in healthcare infrastructure, development of advanced technologies and global acquisitions.WORK Medical’s new partnership puts it at the head of a nascent but rapidly growing wave of Chinese companies looking for new business opportunities in the fast-emerging business of digitalized RWAs. Any company owning or possessing rights to RWAs, both their own and assets owned by others, can technically enter the space.Building smart clinical ecosystemOn Monday, WORK Medical also announced another new partnership with the Wuxi Branch of the Ruijin Hospital-Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Under the partnership, WORK Medical will support Xin Rui Hospital’s efforts to advance hospital informatization. It will also assist in efforts to integrate AI with the hospital’s multimodal medical data, such as text, imaging, and lab results.https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/09/22/3153945/0/en/WORK-Medical-Technology-Group-LTD-Partners-with-Wuxi-Branch-of-Ruijin-Hospital-Shanghai-Jiao-Tong-University-School-of-Medicine-to-Develop-AI-Applications-in-Healthcare.htmlThe two sides plan to enhance WORK Medical’s multimodal AI solutions from single-image to complex data types by leveraging Xin Rui Hospital’s clinical and expert resources. The collaboration aims to develop AI models for diverse healthcare scenarios, establishing a framework for data governance, model training, and clinical translation. WORK Medical Chairman and CEO Wu Shuang said the two new partnerships – with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association for RWA innovation and with Xin Rui Hospital for AI-driven healthcare – are strategic moves aimed at unlocking new growth avenues and building long-term value.The company’s inaugural annual earnings report for its fiscal year through September 2024, issued earlier this year, also contains hints that it was dabbling in financial markets, not only through its IPO but also through other investing activities, in the year before its listing.https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/work-medical-technology-group-ltd-reports-financial-results-for-fiscal-year-2024-302377075.htmlWORK Medical’s new alliance could take it in a completely new direction from its core business of producing and selling masks and other medical products like artery compression tourniquets. As the Covid pandemic receded and demand for masks declined, leading to falling prices, the company’s revenue from its mask business fell 69% in its fiscal year through September 2024 to $1.6 million from $5.1 million the previous year. That was partly offset by an 18% increase in its revenue for other medical devices, which rose to $9.4 million from $8 million.Its latest financial report also shows that WORK Medical has engaged in commodities trading, which generated $400,000 in income in its latest fiscal year through September 2024. The company also derived a sizable $15.7 million in cash from financing activities for the fiscal year, up sharply from a year earlier and greater than the $11.5 million in revenue it generated from sales of its core medical products for the year.In the finance sector, supply chain financier Linklogis late last month also formed a partnership with XRP Ledger, the organization overseeing the ripple cryptocurrency, aimed at exploring the digitalization and tokenization of RWA.Source: The Bamboo WorksBy Doug Young Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

香港，2025年9月24日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 從深交所到港交所：格林美攜關鍵金屬資源回收、電池回收、新能源材料製造三大核心業務，開啟全球化新局。自去年以來，A+H 股上市熱潮持續升溫，越來越多深耕細分領域的龍頭企業選擇通過兩地上市拓寬融資管道、提升國際競爭力。新能源產業作為全球戰略核心賽道，更是成為這股熱潮中的焦點。9月22日，循環經濟與新能源材料領域的領軍企業格林美股份有限公司（格林美，002340.SZ），向港交所遞交上市申請，擬開啟 A+H 股雙資本平臺佈局。自2001年成立以來，格林美利用循環領域的技術優勢，開啟了以鎳鈷回收再製造為主的關鍵金屬循環業務模式。2010年，公司在深交所上市。此次赴港上市，不僅是對其行業地位的鞏固，更標誌著其開啟對接全球資本、拓展國際業務的全新篇章。三大核心業務驅動構建競爭壁壘，全球市場份額領先在關鍵金屬回收領域，格林美聚焦鎳、鈷、鋰、鎢、銅、鉑等關鍵礦產資源循環，實現20餘種關鍵礦產資源的再生製造，有效減少原生礦產開採需求，踐行循環經濟理念。據弗若斯特沙利文資料，以2024年回收量計，公司在中國鎳、鈷、鎢資源回收領域排名第一，成為國內城市礦山開發的核心力量。其印尼Morowali生產基地氫氧化鎳鈷（MHP）年產能達15萬噸，以2024 年MHP權益產量計，格林美躋身全球前三。在動力電池回收業務方面，公司第三方退役鋰離子電池回收量亦位列中國首位，擁有6家工信部（MIIT）白名單回收企業，全球回收工廠遍佈中國、韓國、印尼，在2025年，公司與歐美領先的回收公司簽署MOU，謀劃在歐洲等地建設鋰動力電池回收工廠與共建鎳鈷鋰關鍵資源回收體系，構建全球化鋰動力電池與鎳鈷鋰資源回收體系。基於回收領域領先優勢，格林美於2012年戰略性拓展下游新能源材料行業，構建了「鎳資源-前驅體-正極材料」的鎳資源新能源全產業鏈，關鍵產品領域市場地位全球領先。在三元前驅體及正極材料方面，格林美擁有覆蓋NCM、 NCA全系主流產品的全面產品組合，是全球首家實現9系超高鎳核殼三元及四元前驅體量產出貨的企業。根據弗若斯特沙利文資料，以2024年的出貨量計，格林美是全球第二大三元前驅體生產商，同時也是全球最大的高鎳三元前驅體生產商。此外，3C電子產品電池用的四氧化三鈷材料全球市佔率超過20%。通過打通從資源回收到新能源電池材料製造的閉環，實現關鍵原材料的自給自足，格林美在新能源材料領域形成了難以複製的商業壁壘。目前，格林美已與全球十大鋰離子電池企業中的九家建立了長期穩定的合作關係，並與全球超過1,000家汽車企業及電池製造商建立合作關係，在第三方退役鋰離子電池回收領域回收率位居中國第一。業績增長穩健，海外市場貢獻持續提升在雙軌驅動業務模式的推動下，格林美實現經營業績的穩健增長。2022年至2024年，公司營收分別達人民幣293.92億元、305.29 億元、331.99 億元，連續三年保持增長，展現出強勁的經營韌性。2025年上半年，公司營收達175.61億元，延續增長勢頭。盈利方面，同期公司EBITDA從32.84億元增至41.07億元，並於2025年上半年進一步增至24.51億元，盈利能力穩中有升，為業務擴張提供有力支撐。值得關注的是，格林美海外市場拓展成效顯著，全球化佈局逐步深化。2024 年，公司海外營收占比為 23.6%，而 2025 年上半年這一比例已提升至 31.5%，大幅增長近 8 個百分點，反映出其產品在國際市場的認可度持續提升，海外業務已成為公司重要的增長引擎。隨著全球新能源產業與循環經濟需求的持續爆發，公司海外市場份額有望進一步擴大，為長期增長注入新動能。從行業維度看，全球新能源產業正處於高速擴張期，帶動新能源材料需求不斷提升。而資源約束與環保要求的雙重壓力，推動「循環經濟」成為產業鏈可持續發展的核心方向，根據弗若斯特沙利文數據，再生鎳、鈷、鋰等關鍵金屬需求量佔比將持續提升。同時，退役鋰離子電池的數量不斷增加也為回收業務創造了巨大機遇。格林美憑藉「循環回收」模式，既佔據資源回收的環保賽道，又切入新能源材料的高增長賽道，競爭優勢顯著，有望成為行業政策紅利的直接受益者。此次赴港上市，藉助A+H 股雙平臺佈局，公司有望進一步擴大產能、深化研發，強化全球產業鏈地位，為長期價值增長注入更強的確定性。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港，2025年9月24日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近年來，地緣政治不確定性加劇、全球貨幣寬鬆週期頻發，黃金的避險屬性與金融屬性愈發凸顯，成為全球央行與投資者的重要配置資產。2025年以來，國際金價持續上揚，不斷刷新歷史高位，截至9月18日，國際現貨黃金價格累計漲約40%。在地緣政治、經濟衝突、貨幣體系動盪等結構性因素未根本改變，疊加央行購金、投資需求等支撐，黃金資產中長期配置價值持續凸顯，黃金開採企業將從中受益。 紫金黃金國際有限公司（「紫金黃金國際」，股份代號：2259.HK）作為紫金礦業海外黃金資產整合平台，承接了紫金礦業（601899.SH，02899.HK）在中國境外的全部8座黃金礦山，業務覆蓋中亞、南美洲、大洋洲及非洲等黃金資源富集區，有望憑藉獨特優勢承接行業紅利。9月19日，紫金黃金國際啟動港股招股，招股價每股71.59港元，按每手100股計，入場費7,231.19港元，摩根士丹利及中信證券為聯席保薦人。收併購能力驅動快速擴張，打造全球市場領先地位過去近20年，紫金黃金國際聚焦高潛力黃金礦山及價值被低估的低品位、難選冶黃金礦山，在南美洲、大洋洲、中亞和非洲等黃金資源富集區完成多起關鍵收購，迅速搭建起多元化黃金礦山資產組合。這一擴張路徑的成功，離不開其卓越的併購能力與紫金礦業的深度協同支撐。依託紫金礦業全球領先的礦業公司地位，借助其豐富的大型金屬礦山勘查建設運營經驗並輔以自身專業高效的資源併購和勘查能力，紫金黃金國際能夠準確識別並收購全球範圍內的潛在高價值資產，並在收購完成後以具成本效益方式，積極利用強大的內部能力進行自主地質勘查和開發，從而在不斷變化的黃金行業中穩步擴大資源和產量，同時保持低成本和高效率。在併購成本控制上，2019-2024年，紫金黃金國際按黃金資源計的平均收購成本僅約為每盎司61.3美元，較同期每盎司92.9美元的行業平均水平低34%。而在併購後整合環節，公司「識別價值-提升價值」的能力尤為突出，蘇里南羅斯貝爾金礦、塔吉克斯坦吉勞╱塔羅金礦和圭亞那奧羅拉金礦等多個收購前虧損的礦山，在收購後1-2年內即實現扭虧為盈，充分驗證了其整合效率與運營實力。憑藉高效的併購擴張與精益運營，紫金黃金國際的全球市場地位持續提升。截至2024年底，公司黃金儲量達27.5百萬盎司（856.0 噸），位列全球第九；2024 年黃金產量達1.3百萬盎司（40.4噸），排名全球第十一位。2022-2024年，公司黃金產量複合年增長率高達21.4%，在全球大型公司中增速領先，成為行業內名副其實的「增長先鋒」。技術與成本優勢構築競爭壁壘 賦能長期盈利增長在黃金開採行業資源品位下降、開採成本上升的趨勢下，技術實力與成本控制能力成為企業核心競爭力的關鍵。紫金黃金國際憑藉與紫金礦業的技術協同、自主創新的工藝突破，以及精細化的成本管理，構築起堅實的競爭壁壘，為長期盈利增長提供強勁支撐。技術層面，紫金黃金國際承襲紫金礦業低品位、難選冶資源開發技術，並廣泛利用熱壓預氧化和生物浸出等專有技術，有效開發利用低品位難處理礦石，顯著提升了礦山經濟價值。以塔羅金礦為例，該礦礦石含銅、銀、砷、碳、硫等多種元素，且金的嵌佈粒度微細，開發難度極大，公司針對性開發了含砷含碳金精礦及銅精礦POX工藝技術，解決了金礦難選冶的問題，使其黃金回收率在2022年至2024年由78%提升至81%，2023年建成的精煉廠應用紫金礦業技術後，塔吉克斯坦吉勞╱塔羅金礦產生額外利潤約5700萬美元。在勘探環節，紫金黃金國際利用控股股東紫金礦業的先進地質勘查技術和自主研發設備，通過整合該等尖端技術和設備，以較低成本實現顯著增儲。2019年至2025年上半年，公司於此期間運營的礦山的黃金資源量平均勘探成本低至11.7美元╱盎司，遠低於同期行業平均的32.3美元╱盎司，持續夯實資源基礎。成本控制方面，紫金黃金國際採用紫金礦業獨創的「礦石流五環歸一」礦山項目管理程式，統籌勘查、採礦、選礦、冶煉和環境保護五大環節，有效降低建設生產成本，實現項目經濟社會效益最大化。2024年，公司全維持成本（AISC）為每盎司1,458美元，在全球前十五大黃金開採公司中排名第六低；2022至2024年及2025年上半年，公司運營的七個礦山中，每噸礦石開採成本分別為38.7美元、31.3美元、34.3美元及32.7美元，每噸磨礦選礦成本分別為20.6美元、18.2美元、19.4美元及17.2美元，低成本優勢顯著。成本優勢直接推動盈利水平提升。2022-2024年，紫金黃金國際歸母淨利潤分別為183.7百萬美元、230.4百萬美元及481.4百萬美元，複合年增長率達61.9%，增長勢頭強勁。2024年股本回報率（ROE）達21.4%，保持較高的資本回報，「技術降本 - 盈利提升」 的良性循環已經形成。在黃金資產稀缺性加劇、行業集中度提升的趨勢下，紫金黃金國際憑藉低溢價併購的擴張能力，技術驅動的成本優勢、以及與紫金礦業的深度協同，已成長為全球黃金開採行業的增長黑馬，展現出強勁的發展韌性與投資價值。當前公司正在港股招股，作為連接全球資本與優質黃金資產的重要標的，有望為市場提供兼具成長潛力與收益穩定性的投資選擇。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
