Platinum prices fluctuated upward today, with the most-traded platinum contract PT2606 on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange closing the morning session at 496.75 yuan/g, up 2.51. In the spot market, spot platinum was quoted at a discount of 7-9 yuan/g against PT2606, or at a discount of 2-4 yuan/g against the SGE spot sell-1 price, with spot discounts widening from the previous trading day. As for spot transactions, SMM learned that suppliers reported average order conditions in the market, and spot platinum quoted at a discount of 7-8 yuan/g against the Guangzhou Futures Exchange in early trading was difficult to transact. Some traders showed purchase interest at around a discount of 11 yuan/g against the Guangzhou Futures Exchange, and a small volume of deals was concluded as futures rose toward the end of the morning session. Downstream enterprises negotiated deals based on order conditions, and some enterprises reported fewer orders today, with overall spot market transactions remaining subdued.

South32 Raises Hermosa Taylor Capex by Over 50%, Delays Production to 2028 H1

On April 30th, South32 raised the development cost estimate for the Taylor deposit at its Hermosa zinc-silver project in Arizona, US, and delayed the timeline. First-stage capital expenditure has increased by more than 50%, from $2.2 billion in the 2024 FS to $3.3 billion. First production has been delayed by one year to H2 FY2028, full production has also been pushed back to FY2031. Cost increase was mainly due to contractor underperformance, slower-than-expected construction productivity, scope changes, inflation, US tariffs and higher input costs. Progress on a key ventilation shaft is the main bottleneck now. But the company also noted that ore reserves at Taylor increased by 52%, mineral resources rose by 10%, extending the expected mine life from 28 years to around 33 years.
