Zangge Potash Launches Its First Talent Program to Develop a Pipeline of High-Potential Backbone Talent

       On May 14, the opening ceremony of Zangge Potash’s “Talent Program” was successfully held, marking a new stage in the Company’s development of its reserve leadership and talent pipeline. The program is designed to build a professional backbone team covering the full process of potash mining, beneficiation and refining, reserve high-caliber management and technical talent, and cultivate future candidates capable of taking on department-level management positions, thereby strengthening the talent foundation for the Company’s long-term, high-quality development.

       The internal selection process for the first “Talent Program” followed the principles of fairness, impartiality and merit-based selection. Candidates were assessed through multiple rounds of written tests and interviews, with a comprehensive evaluation of their professional capabilities, overall competence and development potential. Following a rigorous selection process, 29 outstanding young employees were selected from 76 applicants as the first cohort of participants and entered the dedicated training stage.

       At the opening ceremony, Li Jianchang, Chairman and General Manager of Zangge Potash, delivered remarks. He noted that the Talent Program is an important development platform established by the Company for outstanding employees and carries significance in four key areas. First, it helps open up career advancement channels. With the goal of cultivating department-level management talent, outstanding participants will be prioritized for inclusion in the reserve leadership pool and considered for targeted promotion. Second, it strengthens practical training by arranging participants to rotate through core departments and take part in key projects, enabling them to enhance their overall capabilities through hands-on experience. Third, it gives priority to selecting participants for major projects such as the Mamicuo Salt Lake development and the Laos potash project, supporting their rapid growth in key positions. Fourth, it establishes a dynamic and cyclical talent development mechanism to support participants in achieving higher-level career development and further realizing their talent value.

       Li Jianchang encouraged all participants to value the opportunity, take the initiative to learn, and demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility. He urged them to grow into versatile backbone talent with solid technical expertise, strong management capabilities, and the ability to take on responsibilities. He also encouraged them to draw on the strengths of both Zijin and Zangge cultures, integrate personal growth into the Company’s development, and achieve strong alignment between individual value and corporate value.
