SMM6, June 6: according to SMM research, this week (June 3-June 6) SMM five provinces lead battery enterprise weekly comprehensive operating rate of 47.25%, down 4.66% from last week. According to the SMM survey, the terminal consumption of the lead battery market is light, although the major enterprises continue to promote the finished battery, but the dealer's ability to pick up the goods is limited, coupled with the weak rise in lead prices, the pessimism in the future market in the industry has intensified. For example, some storage enterprises in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and other areas have reduced their production plans by 10 to 20 percent. In addition, on Dragon Boat Festival, large enterprises do not have a holiday or only one day off, while small and medium-sized enterprises have more holidays, ranging from 1 to 3 days. Next week, with the end of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the start-up rate of enterprises may have recovered.

Western Mining Innovates Lead-Zinc Processing, Boosts Gold/Silver Recovery and Efficiency
Western Mining Group Technology Development Co., Ltd., with high-efficiency flotation reagents at its core, developed new-type lead-gold-silver collectors and zinc depressants, establishing an efficient mineral processing technology system. This technology effectively reduced zinc impurity content in lead concentrates and significantly improved the recovery efficiency of precious metals. After the research results were industrially applied at Western Mining Co., Ltd. Xitieshan Branch, mineral processing capacity increased from the designed 1.32 million mt/year to 1.5 million mt/year; lead and zinc recovery rates reached 92.76% and 95.66%, respectively, while gold and silver recovery rates increased by 4.65 and 2.73 percentage points, respectively.
