SMM5 March 22: according to SMM research, copper inventory in Shanghai Free Trade Zone decreased by 25000 tons to 210000 tons on Friday compared with last week. Inventory performance declined for nine consecutive weeks, with a cumulative decrease of 130000 tons. In the past month, the copper import window continued to open, high import profits prompted traders to declare a large number of imports, and inventories in the bonded area continued to decline rapidly. Domestic consumption is weakening, the import window has been closed this week, and bonded destocking is expected to continue for about two weeks, when inventories are expected to stop falling and pick up.

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.
