The advantages of our Chinese Partnership

The stability, size and insights of China Minmetals Corporation�  provides a competitive advantage for our company.

Our History

Our company, CMM Limited, was originally known as ‘Minerals and Metals Group’.

In December 2010, Minerals and Metals Group was acquired by Minmetals Resources Limited, a subsidiary of CMC, that was listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (Stock Code: 1208).

In September 2012, the company changed its registered English company name from Minmetals Resources Limited to CMM Limited to align the assets already operating as ‘CMM’ with the registered company name.
