SMM: on the evening of April 20, BAIC Blue Valley New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "BAIC Blue Valley") released 2019 results show that 2019 achieved operating income of 23.589 billion yuan, an increase of 30.39% over the same period last year; the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 92.0101 million yuan, an increase of 25.54% over the same period last year.

BAIC New Energy, a subsidiary of BAIC Blue Valley, sold 150600 vehicles in 2019, ranking first in pure electric vehicle sales in China, according to the announcement. At the same time, the product structure is further optimized. With the gradual retreat of new energy subsidies, BAIC New Energy began to adjust from the initial national car brand of less than 100000 yuan to the middle and high end brand of more than 120000 yuan in 2019, of which the sales of middle and high end models represented by EU5 accounted for more than 80%.

In addition, BAIC Blue Valley pointed out in the announcement that the new energy vehicle industry will face three kinds of pressure in 2019: first, the continuous downward pressure on the automobile market; second, the sharp decline in subsidies for new energy vehicles will lead to the pressure of greater market fluctuations due to the lack of market confidence; and third, the competitive pressure of foreign brands, new forces, and domestic traditional automobile enterprises to enter the new energy source automobile industry one after another. At the same time, new energy automobile enterprises are facing the pressure of electric and intelligent technological innovation, new generation product research and development, market share expansion pressure, new energy enterprise management is facing great challenges, but this is a necessary stage for the spiral upward development of emerging industries.

Empire produces rutile pigment from Pitfield titanium ore

[SMM Titanium Flash] Empire Metals has successfully produced an uncoated rutile titanium-dioxide pigment from concentrates generated from the in-situ weathered ore at its Pitfield Titanium Project in Western Australia. The company says X-ray diffraction confirmed the TiO₂ was present as rutile. Chemical analysis initially produced 97.6% TiO₂, with sulphur accounting for much of the impurity; correcting for that anomaly gives a calculated grade of about 99.2% TiO₂. The development moves Pitfield beyond simply demonstrating titanium mineralisation toward producing a higher-value titanium product. Empire is now working on optimisation and surface coating to produce a rutile pigment suitable for architectural coatings. The company says it is also assessing titanium-metal feedstock applications. These remain laboratory and product-development results, not commercial-scale production.

[SMM Chromium Flash] FS Mining Details $500m Zimbabwe Ferrochrome Smelter and Power Plant Plans

FS Mining, a South African-registered company developing a chrome mine in Zimbabwe, is advancing plans for a US$500 million investment split between a US$100 million ferrochrome smelter and a US$400 million thermal power project, director Dr. Precious Mabuza said in an interview published September 25. The company is currently building a US$15 million wash plant as its first phase of development, and is progressing through the technical, engineering and financing stages of the planned smelter and power plant, with construction timelines dependent on completing feasibility work and securing the necessary approvals. The smelter is planned to begin with 16.5 MVA of sintering plant capacity, paired with a 25MW thermal power station in the project's first phase. Mabuza said the longer-term vision is to expand the power-generation component to 320MW, with the company hoping to extend rural electrification to communities surrounding its operations once the plant is built out. Eventual chrome production volumes will be determined once the final furnace configuration, engineering design and operating parameters are concluded, she said. Mabuza framed the investment around Zimbabwe's push for greater domestic beneficiation, noting the government has banned the export of raw minerals, including chrome, to force local value addition. She said the mine currently employs 100 people, with the company targeting 1,500 jobs at the smelter and power station once operational, and roughly 5,000 jobs across the wider value chain including mining, logistics, services and construction. The reliable baseload electricity from the planned thermal power station is central to the project's strategy, intended to support both the smelting operation and, eventually, electrification for nearby communities.
