BEIJING - China’s environment ministry on Monday called on China Minmetals Corp [CHMIN.UL] to improve environmental protection measures and oversight of subsidiaries in a less than glowing report on the state-run metals producer’s compliance.
Public rebukes against metal producers by the ministry and its predecessor, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, date back to at least 2013 when rice in China's Hunan province, a key production base for Minmetals, was contaminated with the toxic heavy metal cadmium.
Among the Minmetals violations cited by the latest review was allowing rare earths unit Ganxian Hongjin Rare Earth Ltd Co to expand its production capacity without approval. Ganxian Hongjin was accused of a series of environmental offences last August.
