Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation Curbs Lead Production in Henan, SMM Reports

SHANGHAI, May 10 (SMM) – The 1^st Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, opened in Beijing on May 10, restricts primary lead production in Henan’s Jiyuan and Anyang.

The restriction time is unclear yet, but some lead smelters expect it to last one week. Primary lead output at Jiyuan and Anyang will thus drop 12,000 tonnes in May from April’s level after one-week curtailment, SMM foresees.
