[PMI Index] Purchasing managers Index for Copper downstream Industry in June

Published: Jul 1, 2019 23:17
In June, the final value of the PMI composite index for the copper downstream industry was 45.99, which was lower than the expected initial value, and the production index also fell back to the contraction range. In June, the end of the copper consumption into the off-season market, domestic consumption has decreased, while export orders have also been reduced due to trade disputes. New orders in the transportation, home appliances and power industries all tended to weaken, and construction starts slowed down due to the increase in rainy days, but new orders increased significantly in the electronics industry due to increased investment in 5G, and the comprehensive PMI index rebounded to the expansion region.

NICICO Puts Iran’s Copper Ore Resources at 24.5bn Tonnes; Exploration Drilling Nears 200,000 Metres
According to Iranian media reports citing Seyed Mostafa Feiz, CEO of the National Iranian Copper Industries Company (NICICO), Iran’s geological copper ore resources rose to 24.5 billion tonnes from 22.2 billion tonnes at the start of the Iranian year, up 10.6%. Mineable (designable) reserves increased to 18.2 billion tonnes from 16.8 billion tonnes, while 198,462 metres of exploration drilling were completed in the first five months—about 40% of the 500,000-metre full-year target. At Miduk, mineable reserves rose 123% to 1.77 billion tonnes and geological resources increased 186% to 2.883 billion tonnes. The Sarcheshmeh cluster’s mineable reserves reached 7.7 billion tonnes at an average grade of 0.41%, with the mine’s operating permit extended through Iranian year 1429 (around 2050–51). Total material extracted during the period exceeded 153 million tonnes, up about 4% year on year; this figure includes sulphide ore, oxide material and waste rock, and is not copper production. The expanded resource and reserve base supports Iran’s longer-term development potential, but does not imply an immediate increase in supply.
