[SMM brief Review] lacking good news, spot quotations for rare earths have been lowered one after another in the doldrums.

Telah Terbit: Sep 27, 2020 17:01

SMM9, March 27: recently, there has been a large fluctuation in the capital market, which has been transmitted to the rare earth plate. This week, the rare earth permanent magnet plate fell further. As of Friday's close, the rare earth permanent magnet plate index was at 1240.92 points, down 1.43%, and the turnover rate was 0.96%.

In the plate, Ke Liyuan, ST Chuangxing, Xiamen tungsten industry, Zhongke Sanhuan and so on rose at the top, while Zhenghai Magnetic, Galaxy Magnet, Weihua shares and Dragon Magnetic Technology fell at the front.

Throughout the domestic rare earth market, the trend of the downturn continued this week, light rare earths and medium and heavy rare earths are all under pressure, prices are down, trading has not improved.

Light rare earths, this week praseodymium neodymium oxide demand and transactions are not prosperous, prices still showed a slight decline. At present, metal factories are purchasing according to the single rigid demand, even in the wait-and-see mood, there will be delayed procurement behavior, the price is under serious pressure. Praseodymium-neodymium metal faces the same problem, the recent recovery of foreign trade orders for downstream magnetic materials is still not obvious, domestic order problems, in the falling price market on-demand procurement, transaction hesitation.

In terms of medium and heavy rare earths, the prices of products such as terbium, gadolinium and holmium have fallen to varying degrees this week; the stalemate between upstream and downstream has not changed, and the holder passively lowered the price slightly for shipment.

SMM believes that the stock before the National Day is not obvious, the current price is in the process of bottoming out, and it is expected that the price of domestic rare earth products will be weak and stable next week.

Rare earth has the characteristics of wide range and shallow degree, although there are many downstream industries involved, but the real dosage is very small, often in the marginal state. And rare earth as an additive, except for a few occasions, has a high substitution. Even for the NdFeB industry, which is highly dependent on rare earths, countless technologies have been developed to cope with the increase in the price of rare earth raw materials, such as NdFeB products containing more cerium, low-weight rare earth technology and surface strengthening technology aimed at reducing the use of terbium.

From the perspective of market trading, the short-term ups and downs under the long-term trend are the characteristics of the rare earth industry. In the final analysis, due to the relative concentration of sustainable development of rare earth resources, the upstream can make rare earth products return to relatively reasonable prices through supply adjustment.

The important news of the industry this week

[southern rare earths announced the latest rare earth oxide listing prices] A few days ago, the southern rare earth official website released the latest rare earth oxide listing prices, individual product quotations declined, and the prices of most products were the same as last week.

In order to further highlight the company's main business and optimize asset allocation, the company plans to transfer its 72% stake in Zhujiang rare earths through public listing on the Beijing property Exchange, the company said in a recent announcement. The listing price is not lower than the estimated value of 156.8366 million yuan by the asset appraisal institution, and the final transaction price and counterparty will be determined according to the bidding result.

[SMM Kilasan Kromium] Transisi Bawah Tanah Tharisa di Tambang Utama Krom-PGM Tetap Sesuai Jadwal
Tharisa mengonfirmasi transisinya ke penambangan bawah tanah di Tambang Tharisa andalannya, di sisi barat daya Kompleks Bushveld Afrika Selatan, tetap sesuai jadwal dan anggaran, berjalan paralel dengan pembiayaan konstruksi Proyek Karo Platinum di Zimbabwe. Pengembangan kompleks bawah tanah Apollo, yang dimulai pada Maret 2026, berjalan menuju bijih run-of-mine pertama pada kuartal ini, dengan target produksi kondisi tunak sebesar 255.000 mt per bulan pada kuartal ketiga tahun kalender 2029. Kompleks Orion diperkirakan menyusul, dengan target bijih pertama pada tahun fiskal 2031 dan produksi kondisi tunak pada kuartal ketiga tahun kalender 2033. Secara keseluruhan, Tharisa menyatakan kedua kompleks bawah tanah tersebut diperkirakan akan memperpanjang penambangan di Tambang Tharisa, yang memproduksi konsentrat krom bersama PGM dari badan bijih yang sama, selama lebih dari 60 tahun setelah habisnya pit terbuka saat ini. Proyek bawah tanah ini sepenuhnya didanai melalui pinjaman pengembangan dari Absa dan Standard Bank serta fasilitas revolving berbasis aset dari Nedbank, pendanaan yang terpisah dari obligasi Nordik senilai US$300 juta yang diterbitkan minggu ini untuk Karo. Perusahaan tidak merinci berapa bagian dari output bijih run-of-mine masa depan Apollo atau Orion yang akan berupa material mengandung krom versus material mengandung PGM, sehingga dampak spesifik transisi bawah tanah terhadap volume konsentrat krom Tharisa masih perlu diklarifikasi seiring kedua kompleks tersebut meningkatkan produksi menuju kondisi tunak.
