Liangshan Copper Co., Ltd. is scheduled to commence trial production in March 2026. Upon operation, the project is expected to achieve an annual output of 125,000 tons of high-purity cathode copper, with an estimated annual production value of approximately 8 billion yuan. It will also co-produce by-products such as anode slime and crude nickel sulfate. By establishing a complete industrial chain of "copper concentrate → blister copper → cathode copper," the project will further promote the efficient local conversion of resources and significantly enhance the added value of products.

Shanghai Copper Market Sees Weak Supply-Demand, Spot Discounts to Narrow Further Amid Tight Supply

The Shanghai spot copper market is expected to remain weakly structured. A slightly widened nearby contango is incentivizing suppliers to move spot material into warehouse warrants, limiting liquidity tightness. Concurrently, smelters' delivery stockpiling and suppliers' strong price-holding sentiment are restricting available spot supply, supporting the prevailing discount. With the holiday approaching, downstream procurement has largely slowed, diminishing demand-side support for prices. Amid high prices, tight supply, firm holder sentiment, and spread pressure, spot discounts are forecast to narrow slightly further tomorrow.
