Producer
Jiangxi Copper Company Limited
Jiangxi Copper Company Limited (SHEX: 600362, HKEX: 358, HQ Guixi City, Jiangxi Province; ~¥400B+ revenue) is China's largest integrated copper producer — mining, smelting, refining, and rod casting. Jiangxi Copper operates the Guixi Smelter (one of the world's largest copper smelters at ~1.4 million tonnes/year capacity) and major copper rod mills. Also a significant trader and importer of copper concentrates from Chile, Peru, and Australia. Jiangxi Copper's scale makes it a price-influencing player on the LME and SHFE copper markets. Rod production: ~800,000+ tonnes/year for domestic wire, cable, and electronics markets. State-controlled via Jiangxi Copper Corporation (parent) with significant provincial government ownership.

CNJiangxi Province · smelter
Jiangxi Copper Guixi (Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province) integrated copper complex: flash smelter (~1.4M tonnes/year concentrate processing), ISA-process electrolytic refinery, and continuous rod mill (~800K tonnes/year rod capacity). One of the world's largest single-site copper processing complexes. Also produces gold, silver, selenium, and tellurium as byproducts. Source: https://www.jxcc.com/ywyw/tlt/
Jiangxi Copper Guixi Smelter (Guixi, Jiangxi) →
CNJiangxi · processing
Guixi smelter in Guixi City, Jiangxi Province, China — the world's largest single-site copper smelter by reported capacity. Operated by Jiangxi Copper. Processes copper concentrate imported from Chile, Peru, DRC, and domestic Chinese sources. Produces copper cathode (99.99% purity) distributed to China's electrical wire, transformer winding, and electronics industries. China's copper smelting dominance is concentrated at a small number of massive sites including Guixi — any environmental shutdown, regulatory action, or concentrate supply disruption at Guixi would materially affect global cathode supply.
Jiangxi Copper Guixi Smelter Complex →
CNJiangxi Province · smelter
World's largest single copper smelter complex in Guixi city, Jiangxi Province. Processes ~1.5 million tonnes of copper concentrate per year into LME Grade A copper cathode — approximately 3% of global supply from a single facility. Operates multiple flash smelting furnaces and electrolytic refining lines. Also produces sulfuric acid (byproduct of copper smelting; sold to fertilizer manufacturers) and precious metals (gold, silver) recovered from anode slimes. Guixi city exists largely as a company town around this facility. Source: https://www.jxcc.com/en/business/copper-smelting

Chokepoint2025
Jiangxi Copper's Guixi smelter in Jiangxi Province is reported to be the world's largest single copper smelter complex by capacity. China as a whole accounts for approximately 40% of global refined copper (cathode) production — and much of this is concentrated at a small number of massive smelters including Guixi, Tongling (Anhui), and Copper Alloy (Shandong). China's refining dominance creates an asymmetric risk: while China mines relatively little of the world's copper, it processes the majority of global copper concentrate into cathode. Western manufacturers seeking to avoid Chinese copper supply chains have very few alternatives — only Aurubis Hamburg (Europe) and a handful of US/Chilean refiners can supply Western-spec Grade A cathode at scale without Chinese processing.
Cognitive Market Research ↗Concentration2023
Jiangxi Copper Company (Guixi City, Jiangxi Province) operates one of the world's largest single-site copper smelting complexes — the Guixi Smelter processes approximately 1.4 million tonnes/year of copper concentrate (sourced globally from Chile, Peru, DRC, Australia) into ~1 million tonnes/year of electrolytic copper cathode, which then feeds the adjacent rod mill. Jiangxi Copper is state-controlled via Jiangxi Copper Corporation and the Jiangxi provincial government — making it simultaneously a commercial company and a strategic state enterprise. Jiangxi Copper is the single largest influence on SHFE (Shanghai Futures Exchange) copper pricing via its massive physical cathode production and rod mill operations. Its purchasing decisions for copper concentrate (from Chilean and Peruvian miners) create significant leverage over mid-sized mining companies globally.
