New restrictions on sintering in Tangshan from Oct 22-24

Published: Oct 23, 2019 11:06
The second-level smog alert which was issued on October 15 remains in place

SHANGHAI, Oct 23 (SMM) – Steelmakers in Tangshan, the top steelmaking hub in China, have been required to adhere to production curbs over sintering during different periods between late Tuesday to noon Thursday.

This came after the city intensified production curbs during October 18-22, and while the second-level smog alert which was issued on October 15 remains in place.

Between CST 23:00 October 22 to 14:00 October 23, Tangshan Steel’s northern mill, Tangyin Steel, Tianzhu Steel, Tanggang Stainless Steel, Jinma Steel and Donghai Steel are ordered to suspend sintering machines and keep truck carrying cargoes from entering or leaving the plants.

Similar restrictions will be imposed on Rongchen Steel, Huaxi Steel, Guoyi Steel, Donghai Special Steel, Ruifeng Steel, Jing’an Steel, Donghua Steel and Kaiheng Steel between CST 14:00 October 23 to 12:00 October 24.

Amigo Resources Reports PGM Values of Up to 7.07 ppm in Tanzania Processing Testwork​
[SMM Flash] Amigo Resources reported independent laboratory results from selected Tanzanian material showing combined PGM values of 6.94–7.07 ppm, alongside residual gold values of 3.27–3.47 ppm. The company said it is assessing the integration of proprietary PGM concentration technology into its processing flowsheets to target recovery from gravity tailings and other residual material. Amigo is also evaluating a pyrometallurgical copper-matte treatment route and has mobilised a small-scale furnace for further testwork.​ The programme could potentially establish PGMs as a recoverable by-product from Amigo's Tanzanian polymetallic material if subsequent metallurgical work demonstrates viable recoveries. However, the reported grades relate to selected test material and processing studies and do not constitute a compliant Mineral Resource, reserve or evidence of commercial-scale PGM production. Further metallurgical testing will therefore be important in determining whether the reported PGM content can translate into an economically recoverable product stream.

Pan Global Reports Platinum-Palladium Mineralisation at Spain's Cármenes Project
[SMM Flash] Pan Global Resources has reported additional drilling results from its 100%-owned Cármenes Project in northern Spain, identifying platinum and palladium within a broader gold-copper-nickel-cobalt mineralised system. Hole PVD15 intersected 15 m grading 3.90 g/t gold, 0.04% copper, 0.11% nickel and 0.12% cobalt from surface, including an 8 m interval grading 0.50 g/t platinum and 0.28 g/t palladium. Within this interval, one metre returned 1.39 g/t platinum and 0.74 g/t palladium, equivalent to 2.13 g/t Pt+Pd. The mineralisation extends beyond the historical Providencia mine workings and remains open along strike and at depth, according to the company. The results provide further evidence of PGM mineralisation within the Cármenes polymetallic system and could potentially add platinum and palladium credits to the project's mineral inventory. However, the reported intersections are exploration results and do not represent a Mineral Resource, reserve or future production estimate.
