Silicon metal inventories in China continued to rise this week, albeit by a slower pace as seasonal gains in south China’s Kunming were offset by losses in the north caused by the shutdown of a major plant in Xinjiang and logistical disruptions amid a flare-up in coronavirus infections there.

SHANGHAI, Jul 31 (SMM) – Silicon metal inventories in China continued to rise this week, albeit by a slower pace as seasonal gains in south China’s Kunming were offset by losses in the north caused by the shutdown of a major plant in Xinjiang and logistical disruptions amid a flare-up in coronavirus infections there.

SMM data showed that social inventories of silicon metal across Huangpu port, Kunming city and Tianjin port increased 1,000 mt in the week ended July 31 to 53,000 mt, smaller than a 3,000 mt rise in the previous week.

Stocks at the port of Huangpu were little changed this week, as arrivals at and deliveries from the warehouses there both increased amid concentrated shipments at the end of the month.

Landslide at DRC Tantalum Mine Kills Over 200, Disrupts Supply and Spikes Prices

[SMM Tantalum News] On March 3 local time, a landslide occurred at the Gasasa mining site in Masisi Territory, North Kivu Province, eastern DRC, burying hundreds of people. Local rescuers estimate the death toll exceeds 200, with specific casualty figures still being tallied. Currently, the mine is controlled by the rebel group M23, which, fearing airstrikes by DRC government forces, has refrained from modern mechanized mining. Due to supply disruptions of tantalum ore (Ta₂O₅≥30%), transactions have been reported at $210–220 per pound, representing a sharp price surge. As this news spreads through the market, coupled with the tight supply-demand balance, tantalum ore prices are expected to continue climbing, potentially reaching new highs.
