China's Securities Regulatory Commission has granted approval for China Metallurgical to float up to 3.5 billion shares on the Shanghai Stock exchange via an initial public offering (IPO). The floatation is expected to raise some CNY 16.85 billion (US$ 2.47 billion).

In addition to these ‘A' shares, the company plans to list on the Hong Kong Stock exchange with the issue up to 3 billion ‘H' shares. However, this is subject to additional approvals. The pricing of the ‘H' share issue has not been announced.
