China Imported Copper Concentrate TCs Stabilize This Week, SMM Reports

Landrill Copper’s 30,000-mt oxygen-free copper rod project achieved success in its first trial furnace run. The oxygen-free copper rods produced had a purity exceeding 99.99%, with oxygen content below 10 ppm, successfully filling the gap in Xinjiang’s high-end oxygen-free copper rod market.

In H1, performance indicators for the industrial pilot project on comprehensive utilization of smelting slag resources at Wuxin Copper continued to improve. Through crushing, grinding, and refined flotation, the copper content in tailings slag was further reduced. This could reduce copper losses by about 170 mt over the full year, increase the copper recovery rate by 0.2 percentage points, and deliver additional annual economic benefits of more than 20 million yuan.

In H1, in the face of multiple challenges including tight raw material supply, tighter environmental protection constraints, and a complex and rapidly changing market environment, Wuxin Copper of Xinjiang Nonferrous Metal Group achieved a 136.22% increase in total industrial output value YoY, with the cash collection ratio from operations exceeding 110.41%. Major production and operating indicators all rose, delivering an impressive “mid-year report card.” Behind these encouraging results is Wuxin Copper’s path of concerted efforts: closely aligning with the main theme of the “Party-Building-Led Standardized Operations and Management Year,” staying committed to hard work and tackling tough challenges, pressing ahead against the odds, and breaking through various production and operational
