India major copper scrap commodities prices dropped on Thursday in line with copper futures prices at India's Multi Commodity Exchange.

MUMBAI (Scrap Register): India major copper scrap commodities prices dropped on Thursday in line with copper futures prices at India's Multi Commodity Exchange after the Federal Reserve's first rate hike in almost a decade pushed up the dollar, dampening demand for raw materials.

The major copper scrap commodities traded up on Scrap Register Price Index as on Thursday. India's major copper scrap commodities like ACR Copper Coil 3/8, CC Rod LME ++, Copper armature, Copper cable scrap, Copper cathod LME ++, Copper Mixed Scrap, Copper Pat, Copper Super D.Rod and Copper Wire Scrap traded down on Thursday.

However, the most active February copper contract on Multi Commodity Exchange settled down by Rs. 5.50 to Rs. 304.55 per kilogram on Thursday from previous close of Rs. 310.05 per kilogram. The MCX copper prices touched an intra-day high of Rs. 308.75 per kilogram and an intra-day low of Rs. 302.75 per kilogram during Thursday.

China's economy was plagued by pervasive weakness in the fourth quarter, results from a private survey of Chinese firms showed, raising questions about the veracity of stronger than expected official activity data released this month.

CRU sees copper prices averaging around $4,600 next year from around $5,400 a ton this year, with the trough most likely to occur in the second quarter.

Amigo Resources Reports PGM Values of Up to 7.07 ppm in Tanzania Processing Testwork

[SMM Flash] Amigo Resources reported independent laboratory results from selected Tanzanian material showing combined PGM values of 6.94–7.07 ppm, alongside residual gold values of 3.27–3.47 ppm. The company said it is assessing the integration of proprietary PGM concentration technology into its processing flowsheets to target recovery from gravity tailings and other residual material. Amigo is also evaluating a pyrometallurgical copper-matte treatment route and has mobilised a small-scale furnace for further testwork. The programme could potentially establish PGMs as a recoverable by-product from Amigo's Tanzanian polymetallic material if subsequent metallurgical work demonstrates viable recoveries. However, the reported grades relate to selected test material and processing studies and do not constitute a compliant Mineral Resource, reserve or evidence of commercial-scale PGM production. Further metallurgical testing will therefore be important in determining whether the reported PGM content can translate into an economically recoverable product stream.

Pan Global Reports Platinum-Palladium Mineralisation at Spain's Cármenes Project

[SMM Flash] Pan Global Resources has reported additional drilling results from its 100%-owned Cármenes Project in northern Spain, identifying platinum and palladium within a broader gold-copper-nickel-cobalt mineralised system. Hole PVD15 intersected 15 m grading 3.90 g/t gold, 0.04% copper, 0.11% nickel and 0.12% cobalt from surface, including an 8 m interval grading 0.50 g/t platinum and 0.28 g/t palladium. Within this interval, one metre returned 1.39 g/t platinum and 0.74 g/t palladium, equivalent to 2.13 g/t Pt+Pd. The mineralisation extends beyond the historical Providencia mine workings and remains open along strike and at depth, according to the company. The results provide further evidence of PGM mineralisation within the Cármenes polymetallic system and could potentially add platinum and palladium credits to the project's mineral inventory. However, the reported intersections are exploration results and do not represent a Mineral Resource, reserve or future production estimate.
