Hunan Company Launches Bidding for 600 Tonnes of Bismuth Concentrate, Closing June 18

SMM, June 17 — According to an official announcement from a Hunan-based company, a competitive bidding sale has been launched today for 600 physical tonnes of bismuth concentrate produced in June 2026. Registration and bid submission close at 15:30 on June 18. The material specifications are as follows: bismuth content 18% ≤ Bi < 45%, moisture 15% ≤ H₂O < 25%, silver approximately 200–600 grams per tonne, and gold approximately 1.5 grams per tonne. Settlement quantities will be based on actual on-site weighing.

Antimony prices fell sharply last week. On the supply side, some companies faced mid-year sales performance pressure in June, forcing them to offload inventory and adding to market supply. On the demand side, end-use demand remained weak — flame retardant operating rates declined, photovoltaic glass demand contracted, and polyester operating rates slid — all of which left buying interest among downstream consumers feeble.
