The project can process up to 200,000 mt of copper scrap in a year

SHANGHAI, Aug 15 (SMM) – Shaanxi Huanya Source Mining Group plans to commission its copper recycling project, which can process up to 200,000 mt of copper scrap in a year, in the second half of September.

With total investment of 929.35 million yuan, the project is designed with annual copper cathode capacity of 100,000 mt, blister copper of 50,000 mt, and copper alloy of 50,000 mt of copper alloy.

It aims to produce 30,000 mt of copper anode plate and 10,000 mt of blister copper by the end of this year.

【Flash | Centinela Molybdenum Output Rises Despite Lower Copper Output; Strike Impact Remains Unclear】

Centinela Concentrates produced 900 metric tonnes of contained molybdenum in the third quarter of 2026, up 12.5% from the preceding quarter, although nine-month output remained 11.5% lower year on year at 2,300 metric tonnes. Molybdenum grade increased to 0.016% from 0.014%, while recovery rose to 79.1% from 76.8%. Molybdenum sales increased 14.3% to 800 metric tonnes, despite a 4.7% decline in copper-in-concentrate output. The figures predate the post-quarter strike involving unions representing about 20% of directly employed workers, and no molybdenum loss has been quantified. Production is on a 100% mine basis, not Antofagasta’s 70% attributable share or physical concentrate mass.

【Flash | Lower Grades and Recovery Hold Back Los Pelambres Molybdenum Despite Copper Rebound】

Los Pelambres produced 2,000 metric tonnes of contained molybdenum in the third quarter of 2026, down 13.0% from the preceding quarter. Nine-month output fell 23.9% year on year to 6,700 metric tonnes. Molybdenum grade declined to 0.018% from 0.019%, while recovery fell to 76.5% from 81.4%. Sales decreased 24.0% to 1,900 metric tonnes. Copper production rose 17.5% as inventories were released, but molybdenum did not recover, highlighting continuing grade and recovery constraints. The figures are on a 100% mine basis, not Antofagasta’s 60% attributable share or physical concentrate mass.

【Flash | Antofagasta’s Nine-Month Molybdenum Output Falls 21% as Los Pelambres Grades Weaken】

Antofagasta plc reported third-quarter contained-molybdenum production of 2,900 metric tonnes, down 6.5% from the preceding quarter. Output for the first nine months of 2026 fell 21.1% year on year to 9,000 metric tonnes, principally because of lower molybdenum grades at Los Pelambres. The average market price rose 11.5% quarter on quarter to 33.0 United States dollars per pound, while the realised price increased 3.8% to 35.7 United States dollars per pound. Production is reported on a 100% mine basis for Los Pelambres and Centinela, not Antofagasta’s attributable share or physical concentrate mass.
