SMM, Oct. 11: Shanghai electrolytic copper spot contract today rose 120 ~ 170 yuan / ton, Pingshui copper transaction price 47020 yuan / ton ~ 47080 yuan / ton, Shengshui copper transaction price 47040 yuan / ton ~ 47100 yuan / ton. Trade sentiment between China and the United States has temporarily shown signs of easing, overnight Shanghai copper performance rebounded, copper prices rose to 46900 yuan / ton line today. The return of copper futures suppressed yesterday's positive buying mood. Morning market holders still want to continue yesterday's quotation of 150 yuan / ton to 180 yuan / ton. However, there is little initiative in the market today. Fearing heights gradually rises, the holder has no choice but to open the downward model. Good copper quotation rises 150-160 yuan / ton, Pingshui copper down to 130-140 yuan / ton, although there are some transactions, but the overall market atmosphere is not as good as yesterday. The holder continued to take the initiative to reduce the price to close the deal. The second section of the trading stage, in the shipping difficult to cash pressure environment, the holder's willingness to cash further strengthened, rising water quotation more than, flat copper quotation as low as 120 yuan / ton, part of the good copper as low as 140 yuan / ton, wet copper down faster, the quotation from the early market around 100 yuan / ton down to 70 ~ 80 yuan / ton. Today's market is stacked with empty news, reversing yesterday's high buying mood. The import copper window has been open for two days since the opening of the post-festival market. It is expected that a large number of imported copper goods will be put into storage over the weekend. At the same time, the "Wuxi viaduct collapse" incident that occurred last night, on the one hand, affected traffic, on the one hand, escalated the severity of logistics overload, and to a certain extent limited the willingness to buy goods downstream. And two days before the copper price low when the downstream has been continuous replenishment, short-term downstream performance will be cautious wait and see, the holder risk aversion is strong, the initiative to turn to the buyer, resulting in today's market upside down, can completely press the price of transactions, traders receive goods intended to lower the water level, strong and weak characteristics are obvious.

Kobrea Exploration Corp. announced the approval of a US$4 million 2026/27 exploration programme for the Western Malargüe Mining District in Mendoza Province, Argentina, fully funded by BHP. The programme includes diamond drilling at the El Destino copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry target, induced-polarisation surveys at El Destino and KBX-17, as well as geological mapping, geochemical sampling and hyperspectral work. The exploration alliance covers seven projects totaling approximately 733 square kilometres, where copper, gold and molybdenum geochemical anomalies have been identified. SMM analysis: approval of the new budget moves the BHP-Kobrea partnership from an alliance framework into an active drilling phase. However, the properties remain at an early exploration stage, with no molybden

Glencore plans to submit the environmental impact report for its El Pachón copper-molybdenum project in Argentina in Q1 2027 and aims to secure approval under the Incentive Regime for Large Investments, or RIGI, before July 2027. Glencore previously reported approximately 6 billion tonnes of mineral resources grading an average 0.43% copper, 2.2 g/t silver and 130 g/t molybdenum, equivalent to around 0.013% Mo. Based on the disclosed tonnage and average grade, the resource contains roughly 780,000 tonnes of in-situ molybdenum, although this does not represent reserves, recoverable metal or future production. During the 2025/26 exploration season, the project completed 53 drill holes totaling 21,246 metres and advanced preliminary road and bridge infrastructure.

Glencore announced that its Agua Rica project, known as MARA, has received approval under Argentina’s Incentive Regime for Large Investments, or RIGI. The large-scale copper-gold-silver-molybdenum deposit contains approximately 1.2 billion tonnes of measured and indicated mineral resources grading an average 0.03% molybdenum. Based on the disclosed tonnage and grade, the resource contains roughly 360,000 tonnes of in-situ molybdenum; however, this does not represent reserves, recoverable metal or future molybdenum production. Glencore also brought forward expected first production from the Alumbrera restart to H2 2027 from H1 2028. Alumbrera’s processing, logistics and workforce infrastructure is expected to support the future development of MARA. SMM analysis: RIGI approval improves the project’s fiscal and regulatory certainty, but no final investment decision, molybdenum recovery plan or molybdenum output guidance has been announced, leaving no direct near-term impact on molybdenum supply.
