Published: Jun 6, 2019 14:31

On May 31, the third seminar on bulk and bulk goods logistics in Jinzhou Port was held in Chifeng City. The theme of this seminar is "focus on new business type and seek new development." A total of 70 enterprises involved in smelting, coal, trade, logistics and other fields attended the seminar to analyze the macro situation of the bulk dry bulk cargo market and discuss innovative logistics cooperation models. Deepen the cooperative relationship between Jinzhou Port and government, smelting, logistics and other enterprises. Experts and enterprise representatives also gave special speeches on "Innovation and promoting the High-quality Development of Logistics in China" and "the trend of Coastal dry bulk cargo Market and the form of Industry Co-Construction".

Jinzhou Port, located in the west of Liaoning Province, is the largest and most convenient estuary in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia. In recent years, Jinzhou Port has actively built a new "bridgehead" for the construction of "Belt and Road Initiative." It has become an important node in the construction of comprehensive transportation corridor of "Liao Manchu" and "Chimeng ou".

Shen Guohua, assistant general manager of Chifeng Yun Copper Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., said that a number of large enterprises in Chifeng have close cooperative relations with Jinzhou Port, and Chifeng Yunyun Copper is one of them. The cooperation between Chifeng Yuntong and Jinzhou Port has a history of 15 years from 2005 to now. Last year, Chifeng Yuntong and Jinzhou Port began to promote each other's special container transportation of frame mineral powder, which is also a key project in the new 420000 tons of copper smelting project in Chifeng Yuntong. This kind of special container for mineral powder can reduce cargo damage and improve cargo loading and unloading efficiency.

"only by opening up to the outside world at a high level can we promote high-quality economic development!" Huang Guowen, deputy mayor of Chifeng City, said that Jinzhou Port is very important in promoting the economic development of Chifeng City. In the past two years, Chifeng City is building a national high-tech industrial park, the second port economic zone, the national industrial transfer demonstration zone and the national logistics industry demonstration zone. At present, the development of high-tech industrial park is very fast. In order to speed up regional economic cooperation, Chifeng City specially issued the "opinions on promoting the Integration and Development of dry Port and Building Chifeng Secondary Port Industrial Zone", and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Jinzhou Port. Chifeng secondary port economic zone will face Jinzhou, Tianjin, Dalian, Yingkou, Huludao and other port cities, develop offshore processing projects, promote regional and dry port economic development. At the same time, Chifeng will also build large plate railway and Chifeng high-tech industrial park railway hub, and strive to build Chifeng into a logistics demonstration zone in Mongolia, Hebei and Liao provinces.

Huang Guowen, vice mayor of the municipal government, attended the seminar and delivered a speech, pointing out that over the years, Jinzhou Port has played an important role in promoting the economic development of our city. In the past two years, the city has made great efforts to build a national high-tech industrial park, a secondary port industrial zone, a national industrial transfer demonstration zone and a national logistics industry demonstration zone. Welcome entrepreneurs to invest in Chifeng, seek common development, and build Chifeng into a logistics demonstration zone in Mongolia, Hebei and Liao provinces as soon as possible, so as to promote the great development of the logistics industry.

Li Jun, chairman of China Logistics Liaoning Co., Ltd.: Jinzhou Port is an important trade port and transit port for large goods in Liaoning Province, and it is also an excellent domestic port.

Xia Xiuchun, Marketing Director of the Operation Center of Jinzhou Port Co., Ltd.: we continue to innovate the logistics model to achieve cost reduction and efficiency. First, the realization of the whole process of logistics. Reduce the cost of comprehensive logistics, second, we achieve professional logistics. 3000 small tall boxes and 3000 frame boxes were built. Third, explore mechanization, intelligence, container, to reduce logistics costs.

Li Jun, deputy general manager of Chifeng Jinjian Copper Co., Ltd.: Jinzhou Port has been working with us for 12 years. It should be said that Jinzhou Port has relatively complete facilities and advanced management. It has provided us with strong support from unloading, berthing, including transshipment.

Shen Guohua, assistant general manager of Chifeng Yun Copper Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd.: since 2018, our two enterprises have promoted each other's frame-box transportation, and frame-box transportation is also a key project for our new 400000 tons of copper smelting project. Compared with the traditional box transportation, the unloading efficiency of frame box transportation is obviously improved.

Han Songze, manager of the planning department of the operation center of Jinzhou Port Co., Ltd.: Jinzhou Port continues to increase port investment in channel dredging, large berths, type B bonded logistics centers, and so on, and strives to speed up the construction of a collection and transport system centered on the port. Jinzhou Port will be built into a transit base for raw materials and finished products of enterprises in Mengdong area.

Cobre Secures Third-Party Ore Supply to Add 300 t/month of Copper Cathode at Sierra Atacama
Cobre Limited announced on September 9 that its Sierra Atacama operation in Chile has signed ore-purchase agreements with two third-party copper oxide miners in the Antofagasta region, with deliveries expected to ramp up from Q4 2026. The agreements are expected to supply approximately 50,000–75,000 tonnes of oxide ore per month grading 1.0–1.5% total copper, adding around 300 tonnes per month of copper cathode production.​ The additional production will be processed through Sierra Atacama’s existing SX-EW plant, which has installed copper cathode capacity of approximately 20,000 tonnes per year and is currently operating below nameplate capacity. As the purchased ore does not require Cobre to incur its own mining and development costs, the company said incremental costs will primarily comprise the ore purchase price and variable processing costs, including acid, power and reagents. Higher throughput is also expected to spread the plant’s fixed costs over a larger production base.​ The approximately 300 tonnes per month of additional cathode will be incremental to Cobre’s previously announced production targets, which remain unchanged. The company is continuing to stabilise underground production while preparing to transition toward a larger open-pit operation from 2027. Cobre said negotiations with additional regional ore suppliers are also underway, potentially providing further feed for the under-utilised SX-EW facility.​ The agreements represent a near-term increase in copper cathode supply from Sierra Atacama without requiring additional mining development or new processing capacity. At the initial expected rate, the third-party feed could contribute approximately 3,600 tonnes of additional cathode on an annualised basis. More importantly, it should raise utilisation of the existing SX-EW plant ahead of Cobre’s planned transition to expanded open-pit production in 2027. Further ore-supply agreements would provide additional upside to plant utilisation and cathode output.
