Anax Luncurkan Studi Kelayakan Heap-Leach Whim Creek Setelah Perolehan Tembaga Mencapai 77–80%

Chile's central bank reported on September 1 that the July Imacec economic activity index fell 1.5% year-on-year on an unadjusted basis. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the index fell 2.1% year-on-year and 1.7% month-on-month, marking the steepest monthly decline since 2022. The bank attributed the drop mainly to mining, which fell a significant 9.3%, primarily due to weather conditions, followed by lower ore grades and equipment maintenance that disrupted normal production operations. Many of the affected mines are copper-molybdenum associated deposits. Since molybdenum concentrate is recovered as a byproduct of the flotation process used to treat copper sulfide ore, the disruption to processing plants also curtailed molybdenum output.

Korea Zinc menyatakan bahwa afiliasinya, KZAM, telah memproduksi massal foil tembaga baterai sejak Juni dan mulai memasok ke pelanggan baterai global, menandai pengiriman komersial pertamanya. Material ini akan digunakan dalam baterai yang diproduksi di Amerika Utara, dengan pendapatan yang diperkirakan mencapai KRW40 miliar. Korea Zinc juga mengonfirmasi rantai daur ulang terintegrasi di mana limbah elektronik yang dikumpulkan oleh anak perusahaannya di AS, Pedal Point, diproses di smelter Onsan menjadi tembaga daur ulang, yang kemudian digunakan sebagai bahan baku untuk foil tembaga kelas baterai KZAM.
