CITIC Construction in 2010 formed a consortium with zinc producer Baiyin Non-Ferrous Group to make an equity investment of $185 million in Oxus Gold, a gold miner with assets in Central Asia.[2][3] The financing deal gave the consortium a 59.7% stake in the company which had planned to use the funds to develop the Amantaytau Goldfields, an asset it held 50% of the ownership to in Uzbekistan.[2] The goal at the time of the deal was to expand annual production at the Uzbek mine to 300,000 ounces.[2]

On a two-day visit to Angola in 2012, Chang Zhenming head of the CITIC Group announced that the company was halfway through completing a plan to build 100,000 homes across 10 provinces in the country.[4]
