SMM: recently, Liu Jianping, a member of the party group, deputy general manager of Chinalco, and secretary of the party committee and chairman of China Copper Industry, went to Yangla Township, Deqin County, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and Fadou Township, Xichou County, Wenshan Prefecture, to investigate poverty alleviation work, and visited 5 poor families.

On August 12, Liu Jianping and his entourage came to Guiwu Village, Yangla Township, Deqin County to relocate the Shangri-La settlement site, visited the village committee office, the party member activity room, and the canteen of Guiwu Village, visited the cadres stationed in the village, and visited the families who helped the masses. When he learned that Tibu's income has increased a lot in recent years, coupled with the government's relocation policy that has enabled the whole family to live in a new house, and that children have better educational opportunities, Liu Jianping said that he hopes that the Tibu family will cherish the opportunities, increase their income through various channels, and make life better and better.

On August 13, Liu Jianping went to the village of Jiagong Village, Yangla Township, Deqin County, visited the honey processing plant and beekeeping farm in Yangla Township, and had a discussion with the person in charge of Yangla Township. During the research in the honey processing factory, he carefully understood the production scale, capital investment and product marketing of honey processing. He pointed out that it is necessary to allow poor people to participate in the production and sales of honey as far as possible, maximize the industry-based poverty alleviation model, and increase income through their own labor. At the forum with the Yangla township government, the Yangla township government fully affirmed the effectiveness of China's copper industry in education, industry, employment, infrastructure and other areas, and thanked China's copper industry for its efforts and contributions in developing honey characteristic industries in Yangla township. Liu Jianping said that China's copper industry will actively fulfill the social responsibility of central enterprises, resolutely implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State-owned assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council on carrying out designated poverty alleviation work, and continue to adhere to the mining development concept of "running and activating an enterprise." innovate the way of work, improve the effectiveness of work, and become an important backbone of local poverty alleviation.

Liu Jianping also visited two families in Jiashui Village to learn more about their lives, families, income, and satisfaction with the implementation of poverty alleviation policies.

On August 17, Liu Jianping went to Xichou County, Wenshan Prefecture, and inspected the Shie Village pig breeding base and Xinyi Village packaging bag processing and poverty alleviation workshop built with the assistance of the company, and learned in detail about the operation. He affirmed the poverty alleviation model that the pig breeding project brings more than 1,000 yuan in dividends to poor households every year, and the poverty alleviation workshop solves the employment of poor households and stabilizes their income. They visited two poor families, Wu Chongde and Wu Chongyuan, who were paired with bags, learned in detail about their production and life, financial assistance, and family income, publicized poverty alleviation policies to them, and encouraged them to rely on their own hands to create a happy life.

It is understood that China's copper industry and its 22 enterprises have invested 160 million yuan in poverty alleviation funds to help 17 counties in Yunnan, Sichuan, Hubei, Tibet, Qinghai and other provinces (regions) take off their hats, 38 poor villages have been listed as a whole, and 19653 people from 4870 households have been lifted out of poverty. Among them, more than 3000 million yuan was invested in poverty alleviation funds in Yangla Township of Deqin County and Fadou Township of Xichou County to help 886 poor people out of poverty one year ahead of schedule in 11 poor villages and 209 poor households.

Yingkou Jianfa Shenghai Phase I 300,000 mt Copper Cathode Project Smelting Furnace Starts Production, Pyrometallurgy System Enters Furnace Drying Stage
At 9:58 on September 12, the core smelting furnace of the pyrometallurgy system at Yingkou Jianfa Shenghai Nonferrous Metals & Chemicals Co., Ltd.'s multi-metal recovery project was successfully ignited, officially entering the furnace drying stage and marking a key step toward full-line commissioning and production. Public information shows that the Yingkou Jianfa Shenghai polymetallic complex gold-silver ore comprehensive recovery technology upgrade, relocation, and expansion project uses copper concentrates as its main raw material, with an overall planned capacity of 600,000 mt/year of copper cathode to be built in two phases, with capacity of 300,000 mt/year in each phase. Phase I is designed to produce 300,000 mt/year of copper cathode and 1.18 million mt/year of sulphuric acid, along with supporting systems for smelting, converting, anode refining, electrolysis, slag beneficiation, and precious metal recovery. After this ignition, the project will carry out standardized furnace drying and hot-state integrated trial runs across the entire system to verify equipment, instruments, interlocks, and automatic control systems. The project has not yet formally started raw material feeding and production; after furnace drying and system commissioning are completed, it will further advance the commissioning of Phase I's 300,000 mt/year copper cathode capacity. If the project is successfully brought into production, it is expected to increase copper smelting capacity in North China and further boost domestic demand for copper concentrate raw materials.

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.
