As the last page of the calendar flutters down, the chapter of 2025 quietly comes to a close. On this beautiful moment brimming with hopes and aspirations, the year 2026 arrives as promised. Brilliant fireworks illuminate the night sky, marking a perfect end to the past year; warm lanterns adorn the streets and alleys, paving the way for a brand-new journey.

On this occasion, we would like to extend our sincerest greetings and best wishes to the leaders at all levels, partners, and customers who have long cared for and supported the development of Changfeng Rongtong and its affiliated enterprises, as well as all employees who have worked diligently and dedicatedly. Happy New Year to all, and may your careers thrive!

When the first ray of dawn in 2026 shines over Chaohu Lake, Hefei, this "city of scientific innovation", is accumulating vigorous momentum for forging ahead. In recent years, Hefei has written a legend of development with the remarkable "Hefei Speed". From being hailed as the "top venture capital city" to earning the new reputation of being "technologically savvy and innovation-driven", every step it takes resounds with the pulse of the times. On this fertile ground for innovation and entrepreneurship, we are not only witnesses, but also steadfast practitioners and committed builders. Rooted here, we embrace the favorable policies and share the opportunities of the era.

Looking back on 2025, adhering to the spirit of hard work, the people of Changfeng have always stayed true to their original aspiration and forged ahead despite the complex and challenging market environment. Guided by the policies of the Party and the country, supported by partners and trusted by customers, all Changfeng employees have united as one, focusing closely on the annual strategic plan: we have continuously optimized the business structure to consolidate the foundation for development; deepened the reform of internal processes to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness; actively broadened our horizons for development, and driven breakthroughs through innovation. Over the past year, we have strived to enhance operational efficiency and risk resilience, laying a solid foundation for achieving higher-quality and more sustainable development.

While deepening our focus on the core mining business, we have always been grateful and actively fulfilled our social responsibilities. By promoting public welfare and charity programs and providing financial assistance to underprivileged students, we have conveyed the warmth of the enterprise and made our modest contributions to society. Meanwhile, we have actively responded to the national "Belt and Road" Initiative, steadily expanding our layout in the mineral resources sector in countries along the routes, and committed to integrating the development of the enterprise into the overall national strategic framework. We are willing to take resources as the link, not only to expand the growth space for the enterprise, create long-term value for shareholders, and bring more benefits to employees, but also to strive to contribute to the national energy and resource security and the coordinated development of the global industrial chain.

Looking forward to 2026, a new chapter unfolds, and all things take on a new look. The bell of the New Year is not only a warm blessing, but also a clarion call for progress. The people of Changfeng will build on past achievements and forge ahead, always upholding the spirit of "seeking truth and being pragmatic, and advancing steadily", fostering the work style of "working diligently in a down-to-earth manner and pursuing excellence with dedication", and unswervingly fulfilling the enterprise mission of "serving customers, developing employees, and contributing to society".

In the new year, we will:

• Chart the course with clearer strategies, closely following the national macro policies and industry trends;

• Implement the plans with more detailed arrangements to ensure that strategic goals are advanced step by step and achieved steadily;

• Regulate the processes with stricter standards, deepen comprehensive risk management, and strengthen the development security;

• Take on responsibilities with more pragmatic work style, stimulate team vitality, and enhance overall execution capability.

We will continue to focus on the core mineral resources business, deepen industry insights, and strengthen professional capabilities; adhere to value creation as the core, empower partners, escort the growth of employees, and accumulate momentum for enterprise development; continuously promote the dual-wheel drive of management efficiency improvement and innovation-driven transformation, and consolidate the foundation for high-quality development.

"Pursuing dreams across mountains and seas, we never feel the distance is far. The road ahead is long, yet we march forward with great strides." On the journey of the new era, in 2026, the people of Changfeng will face challenges with the "courage to transform", fear no pains of change, take the initiative to seek innovation, forge core competitiveness in the process of reform, and achieve leapfrog development through proactive progress. We firmly believe that every drop of sweat will flow into the surging river, and every footprint will eventually form a magnificent journey.

Salute to every striver who walks hand in hand with us! May we work together with one heart, set sail on a new journey, and march forward to embrace a brighter future.

We sincerely wish our great motherland prosperity and beauty, peace and stability, and thriving development! May everyone in the new year enjoy a happy life, a prosperous career, a harmonious family, and all the best wishes come true!
