In the development course of more than seven decades, China Minmetals has roughly gone through three main stages. From its establishment to the period right before the reform and opening up, China Minmetals, as a professional trading company, was a main channel for importing and exporting metal and mineral products, hardware products and building materials in China. After the reform and opening up, China Minmetals explored diversified and industrial development path in the market economic system, and it is one of the earliest enterprises in China to "go global". In the new century, China Minmetals has started a strategic transformation featured by restructuring and merger & acquisition in the metal mining industry. In particular, it conducted its strategic restructuring in 2015 with China Metallurgical Group Corporation (MCC Group), also a Fortune Global 500 company, and therefore took the lead in the world to unblock the whole industrial chain covering resource acquisition, prospecting and exploration, design and construction, mining and mineral processing, smelting and processing, and trade and logistics. After the restructuring, the company is larger in scale with more diversified business forms and stronger risk resistance.

Today, China Minmetals develops a business portfolio dominated by metals and minerals, iron and steel metallurgical engineering, trade and logistics, finance and real estate.
