China Natural Resources, Inc. has filed a Form 12b-25 to notify investors of a delay in submitting its Annual Report on Form 20-F (Yearly Report) for the financial year ended December 31, 2025. The company is required to report this postponement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission because it cannot meet the original deadline.
The main reason for the delay is the recent change of auditor. On January 29, 2026, the company appointed HYYH CPA LLC as its new independent registered public accounting firm for the 2025 fiscal year, and the new auditor needs additional time to complete the audit of the consolidated financial statements.
Management also notes that it is still reviewing and compiling certain financial and other information needed to finalize the Form 20-F (Yearly Report). The company emphasizes that the delay stems from the time and effort required to complete this work without incurring unreasonable cost or strain on internal resources.
China Natural Resources, Inc. expects to file the delayed Form 20-F (Yearly Report) within the 15-calendar-day extension period allowed under SEC Rule 12b-25. At this time, the company states that it is not aware of any issues that would prevent it from meeting this extended deadline.
The company has indicated that it does not currently anticipate any significant change in its results of operations compared with the prior fiscal year. However, it cautions that final figures could still be affected by the completion of the audit and that any forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including potential adjustments identified by the auditors.
China Natural Resources, Inc. reiterates its intention to remain current with its SEC reporting obligations and to complete future filings on time. The notification of late filing is signed on behalf of the company by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Wong Wah On Edward, dated April 28, 2026, underscoring executive-level responsibility for the disclosure and compliance process.
Spark’s Take on CHNR Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CHNR is a Neutral.
The score is constrained primarily by weak financial performance (revenue collapse, ongoing losses, and inconsistent/negative cash flow), partially offset by a healthier recent balance sheet with minimal debt. Technicals add some support due to improving near-term momentum, while valuation remains challenged by loss-making results and no dividend.
