SMM, June 24:

 

According to a survey by SMM (SMM), this week (June 27-July 3) the weekly operating rate of SMM recycled lead smelters in the four provinces was 52.0%, up 1.6% from last week.

Among them, the operating rate of Henan recycled lead licensed smelting enterprises is 50.9%, and that of Jiangsu recycled lead licensed smelting enterprises is 53.3%, which is the same as last week. Due to the tight supply of waste batteries, it is difficult to purchase at low prices, and it is difficult to fluctuate the operating rate of recycled lead enterprises. Anhui recycled lead licensed smelting enterprises have an operating rate of 48.4%, an increase of 3.2% compared with last week, and almost all of their production capacity has been released due to the increase in Anhui Dahua production. The operating rate of licensed smelting enterprises for recycled lead in Guizhou was 59%, up 2.5% from last week, mainly due to the completion of maintenance in Xinkaida, Guizhou, and an increase in daily output this week.

Coherent launched PhotonLink, an integrated optics platform for AI infrastructure incorporating Indium Phosphide (InP) lasers, silicon photonics, detectors and optical modules. The company disclosed more than 10 CPO engagements, over 10 NPO engagements and more than five chip-to-chip connectivity projects, with anchor customers and long-term agreements secured for both CPO and NPO. Revenue is expected to begin ramping in Q4 2026. Coherent has shipped over 300 million InP lasers and is expanding its 6-inch InP manufacturing capacity to support the ramp. The customer pipeline provides a clearer commercial demand signal for InP devices and upstream materials, although additional capacity and indium consumption were not disclosed.

Nine Mile Metals announced that its second rig had arrived at Tribag–West Wedge in New Brunswick, Canada, with drilling expected to begin at Tribag in the coming days. Seven modelled electromagnetic targets are associated with the Tribag lead-zinc and West Wedge copper-lead-zinc occurrences. Wedge drilling continues in parallel. By September 21, the company had completed 18 holes totaling 4,934.50 metres of its 10,000-metre annual program. The conductors remain geophysical targets requiring drilling to establish their source.

Masivo Silver reported assays from CC-26-001, its first hole at Cerro Colorado in Sonora, Mexico. The hole intersected 32.50 metres from 226.30 to 258.80 metres averaging 0.271% zinc, 0.141% lead and 7.0 g/t silver. Technical difficulties ended drilling at 259.5 metres while the hole remained within mineralized rock.
