SMM, June 10 / PRNewswire-Asianet /-

Today, the main 1907 contract of Shanghai Copper opened at 46130 yuan / ton in the early morning market. Today, Shanghai electrolytic copper spot to the current month's contract water 90 ~ 170 yuan / ton. Shanghai copper lows rebounded slightly to 46200 yuan / ton line. On the first day after the festival, it was heard that imported copper had arrived in the warehouse, and in the morning, the holder continued the pace of quotation before the festival, and the quotation increased by 110 yuan to 170 yuan per ton, but there were many quotations in the market, but there was not enough interest in buying, and the holders' willingness to cash in gradually became stronger, and the price space was magnified. The price of good copper from 170 yuan / ton to 140 yuan / ton is reduced to 140 yuan / ton, and the quotation from 110 yuan / ton is reduced to less than 100 yuan / ton before there is centralized trading. Wait and see downstream, wet copper quoted water 20 to 40 yuan / ton and there is still room for pressure. The main reason is that inventory increases, market consumption is weak, market risk aversion vigilance is still high, the market is difficult to quickly digest imported copper, rising water may still have room for downward adjustment.

Guangdong No. 1 bright copper quoted price of 42600 yuan / ton ~ 42900 yuan / ton, up 200 yuan / ton compared with last Thursday; Today, the price difference of refined waste is 801 yuan per ton. Due to the stricter national environmental protection policy and other factors, the supply of domestic scrap copper is expected to continue to be tight, the supply is shrinking, and the mood of holding goods and cherishing sales is further heated, and most of the transaction prices are higher than the market quotations. Scrap copper has almost no price advantage, but it also gives some support to the refined copper market.

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.
