Zhen Ding Resources Inc. Reports Turnaround with $591,945 Net Income for Six Months Ending June 30, 2025

Zhen Ding Resources Inc. reported its financial results for the six months ending June 30, 2025, revealing a significant turnaround in profitability compared to the same period in 2024. The company recorded a net income of $591,945, a substantial improvement from a net loss of $289,815 in the prior year. This positive shift is attributed primarily to a gain on extinguishment of debt amounting to $874,330, which was not present in the previous fiscal period. Despite this gain, the company has not generated any revenue during both periods due to the continued idling of its mineral processing operations.

The company's financial position has also shown notable changes. As of June 30, 2025, Zhen Ding's current assets increased to $20,360 from $1,977 at the end of 2024, primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents. However, current liabilities decreased slightly from $10,929,840 to $10,545,923, resulting in a working capital deficit of $10,525,563, an improvement from $10,927,863 at the end of the previous year. The company continues to face challenges, with accumulated losses since inception totaling $23,021,488, raising concerns about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Operationally, Zhen Ding Resources remains focused on its joint venture, Zhen Ding Mining Co. Ltd., which processes metal ore. The company has been exploring potential partnerships and opportunities in the mining sector, particularly in light of favorable gold prices. Recent developments include discussions with Xinan Environmental Protection to potentially develop a waste-to-energy operation using the Wuxi Gold Mine's infrastructure. However, the company has not secured any financing commitments to restart its operations, which remain on hold due to the lack of a renewed mining permit.

The company’s management has outlined a plan to raise approximately $3,350,000 to restart its mineral processing plant and extend the mining permit for its joint venture partner, Xinzhou Gold. This funding is critical for upgrading facilities and resuming ore extraction activities. Zhen Ding Resources has indicated that it will continue to seek financing through equity sales, although it acknowledges the risks of dilution for existing shareholders and the uncertainty of securing necessary funds.

Looking ahead, Zhen Ding Resources Inc. aims to diversify its operations and enhance shareholder value by identifying new business opportunities and strategic partnerships. The management remains cautious, emphasizing the need for sufficient financing to maintain operations and achieve profitability. The company’s future will largely depend on its ability to secure funding and successfully navigate the challenges posed by its current financial and operational circumstances.
