Changning will invest 8-10 billion yuan to build copper-lead-zinc industrial base, constructing 300,000 tonnes of new zinc capacity, expand 200,000 tonnes of copper capacity and remold 100,000 tonnes.

SHANGHAI, Jun. 28 (SMM) – Changning and Zhuzhou Smelter Group reached consensus and signed contract for Minmetals Shuikoushan Cu-Pb-Zn Comprehensive Base on June 27, 2017, reported by Changning Journal.

Changning will invest 8-10 billion yuan to build copper-lead-zinc industrial base after closing 40,000 tonnes of zinc capacity at tin mine and 650,000 tonnes of lead and zinc capacity at Zhuzhou Smelter Group.

The project will construct 300,000 tonnes of new zinc capacity, expand 200,000 tonnes of copper capacity and remold 100,000 tonnes of lead capacity.

Changning aims to clamp down all backward capacities to promote transformation and upgrade of traditional smelting industry, and create high-end Cu-Pb-Zn products.

Peru sees 1 million t/y copper output boost within five to six years

Peru's Energy and Mines Minister Guillermo Shinno said the country expects to add about 1 million tonnes of annual copper production within five to six years through new mining projects. The world's third-largest copper producer anticipates 2026 output of 2.5 to 2.7 million tonnes, roughly unchanged from 2023 as declining ore grades and recurring social conflicts weigh on supply. The newly elected government is seeking to reverse that stagnation by cutting red tape; in the two months since taking office, mining companies have stepped up engagement with the ministry. Shinno said officials have identified 27 permits that could be eliminated from roughly 100 mining-sector requirements, without lowering environmenta

Sulphuric Acid Shortage Emerges as a Constraint on Zambia’s Copper Growth

Zambia’s sulphuric acid shortage is becoming a growing constraint on copper production and refining. Jubilee Metals reported acid costs rising by more than 200% in Q4 FY2026, while Sable cathode output fell to 250 t from 361 t in Q3. Government data also showed small-scale copper production down 35.2% YoY in H1 2026, highlighting the sector’s exposure to tight acid availability and higher processing costs.
