Northern copper industry has excellent overall assets and advanced technology. Tongkuangyu Copper Mine, with a processing capacity of 4 million tons, is the largest non-coal underground mining mine in China, and the introduction of innovative natural caving mining technology has reached the international advanced level. By the end of 2002, a copper hydrometallurgy plant with an annual output of 2,000 tons of electrodeposited copper was built, which has become a standard demonstration plant in the field of hydrometallurgy in China. Houmabei Copper Co., Ltd. took the lead in introducing the world's advanced Ausmelt copper smelting technology, and carried out more than 300 innovations in production practice, forming a "new process of copper top-blowing smelting and blowing" with independent intellectual property rights, and won the first prize of scientific and technological progress in China nonferrous metal industry in 2007.
Northern copper industry attaches great importance to the effective operation of management system and the stable improvement of product quality. Now the main production units have passed the international standard of quality, environment, occupational health and safety management system certification. The effective operation and continuous improvement of the standard system have improved the overall management level of the company and promoted the stable improvement of product quality.
