Industrial metals and energy metals are essential key materials in modern industry and the new energy sector. This article will delve into the application areas of these important metals and their leading companies in the industry.

In the industrial metals sector, copper serves as the 'backbone of industry' and plays a crucial role in industries such as electricity, construction, new energy, and home appliances. Zijin Mining, as an important copper mining company both domestically and internationally, demonstrates significant growth potential due to its substantial resource reserves and numerous overseas projects. Meanwhile, Jiangxi Copper occupies an important position in the domestic copper industry with its complete industrial chain and stable business model.

Aluminum, as a core material for lightweight applications, is widely used in the transportation, packaging, construction, and new energy vehicle industries. China Aluminum, as the world's largest producer of alumina and primary aluminum, has significant advantages in resource acquisition and supply, consolidating its leading position in the industry.

In the lead-zinc sector, Chihong Zinc & Germanium has become a leader in the industry due to its rich resource reserves and complete industrial chain, particularly its global leading position in germanium metal production.

Energy metals, as core materials for new energy, are closely related to the development of power batteries and energy storage systems. Among them, lithium is particularly important. Tianqi Lithium Industry possesses high-quality lithium mineral resources globally, including the Greenbushes mine in Australia and the Zhabuye salt lake in Shigatse, Tibet, showcasing its advantages in resource quality. Ganfeng Lithium, with its globally leading position, plays an important role in the lithium industry chain.

The development of these metals and their related enterprises not only reflects the demands of traditional industries but also signals the arrival of the new energy era. With advancements in technology and the enhancement of environmental awareness, these key materials will play an increasingly important role in future industrial development and energy transformation.
