Stocks came in at 107,700 mt as of Monday Dec 10, down some 700 mt from last Friday

SHANGHAI, Dec 10 (SMM) – Social inventories of refined zinc across Shanghai, Guangdong and Tianjin came in at 107,700 mt as of Monday December 10, down some 700 mt from last Friday and down 3,700 mt from Monday December 3, SMM data showed.

Compared to Friday December 7, limited imported zinc in Shanghai accounted for the overall decline. Deliveries from smelters to social warehouses nudged up stocks in Tianjin and Guangdong over the weekend. Downstream consumption remained slow as of December 10, SMM learned.

Despite arrivals of domestic cargoes, overall social stocks are unlikely to climb significantly in the three regions this week.

Adamera Completes Preliminary Talisman Underground Inspection; Detailed Assessment Still Required

Adamera Minerals announced that JDS Energy & Mining had completed a preliminary underground inspection at its wholly owned Talisman project in Washington State. No immediate impediment to safe re-entry was identified, and mineralization including sphalerite was observed near the portal and adit. More than 200 soil samples await results. Significant underground work still requires detailed geotechnical assessment, support design and stope inspection. Mineral observations do not establish grade, continuity, tonnage or economic potential.
