Funds needed to help boost firm's expansion into other resources

Jiangxi Copper Corp, China's largest copper producer, is seeking further investments and looking to expand into other resources such as rare earths, in a bid to become one of the world's top five mining groups within 10 to 15 years.

"We would like to further our investment in the securities and banking sector, in particular, to support that goal," said Li Baomin, the chairman and a deputy of the 12th National People's Congress.
