Rising Coal Prices Prompt Northwest Secondary Lead Smelter to Delay Production Restart
[Secondary Lead Production Update] Affected by the rise in coal prices triggered by the Shanxi "5·22" mining disaster, a secondary lead smelter in the northwest saw changes to its production resumption plan. The smelter originally planned to carry out furnace heating and resume production in early June, but has now shifted to a wait-and-see stance. Currently, raw material scrap battery prices stay high, and if smelting coke prices rise significantly further, the enterprise may delay its production resumption.
