[it is said that Xiaomi Automobile headquarters and factory have basically settled in Beijing] on August 16, according to the Automotive Business Review report, Xiaomi Automobile headquarters and its first factory have basically been settled in Beijing, and this time the headquarters and factory will be located in the city. It is an important node in the preparatory work for Xiaomi car construction. Xiaomi has not made an official response to the news.

On August 16, according to the Automotive Business Review, Xiaomi Automobile headquarters and its first factory have basically been settled in Beijing, and this time the headquarters and factory will be located in the city, which is an important node in the preparatory work for Xiaomi's car construction. Xiaomi has not made an official response to the news.

In fact, Xiaomi Group already has a deep foundation in Beijing. Its headquarter is located in Xiaomi Science and Technology Park, Haidian District, Beijing. The park covers an area of 220000 square meters with an investment of about 2 billion yuan. In addition, Beijing Yizhuang also has Xiaomi intelligent factory. In July, Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi Group, posted recruitment messages for jobs related to self-driving on social platforms, all based in Haidian District, Beijing.

In the automotive field, there are already complete vehicle manufacturing enterprises in Beijing, such as Mercedes-Benz, BAIC, Beijing Hyundai, etc., and ideal Automobile has also disclosed a few days ago that it will build a factory in Beijing to build electric vehicles. In addition, leading enterprises such as Baidu Apollo and Xiaoma Zhixing are also mainly located in Beijing. After Xiaomi Guan announced the construction of the car, it has been concerned whether its car headquarters is located in Beijing.

Not only in Beijing, the location of Xiaomi Automobile headquarters has also been rumored to be located in Shanghai, Wuhan and other cities. Since Xiaomi announced the production of the car, the voice of Xiaomi to settle in Wuhan has been louder. A few days ago, the Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Commerce responded through the "Wuhan City message Board" that the investment promotion department of Wuhan had communicated with Xiaomi. At present, it is actively docking and promoting the Xiaomi automobile project to be settled in Wuhan with the company.

Prior to this, the Wuhan Economic Development Zone also responded positively to netizens, saying that the Economic Development Zone had immediately set up a special work class, which would actively and enthusiastically dock Xiaomi, fully demonstrate the high-quality automobile ecosystem and superior business environment in the region, and strive for the possibility of cooperation.

Before Wuhan actively docked Xiaomi, Shanghai was also one of the cities where Xiaomi deployed its car-building team. Among the 54 recruitment messages released by Xiaomi Automobile on July 22nd, including vehicle safety simulation analysis engineer, NVH simulation analysis engineer, vehicle general layout expert and other job descriptions related to vehicle engineering, Xuhui District, Shanghai, has been added to the recruitment information of Xiaomi Motor Co., Ltd. in the 54 recruitment messages released by Xiaomi Automobile on July 22nd, including vehicle safety simulation analysis engineer, vehicle simulation analysis engineer and vehicle general layout expert. This indicates that the development related to Xiaomi vehicle project may be located in Shanghai. The deployment of resources in the upstream and downstream of Shanghai's automobile industry has been relatively complete, which also increases the possibility of Xiaomi car settling in Shanghai.

However, the news of settling in Shanghai, Wuhan and Beijing was all refuted by Wang Hua of the Public Relations Department of Xiaomi Group on July 23, which said on the social platform, "recently, some of the information about our car has become more and more outrageous." a moment landed in Beijing, a moment landed in Shanghai, but also deliberately stressed that Wuhan did not introduce successfully. In addition to landing, I am also jealous of the topic of recruitment, salary and options, and there are rumors that there are always independent options, and even rumors that the total salary package is up to 20 million yuan. Originally thought that there is no need to refute the rumor, everyone should have a clear understanding, did not expect that there are friends to come to me to push 20 million of the position. Together with the response, all of the above are not true, everything is subject to the official disclosure of information, we turn to tell not to be credulous. "

A few days ago, Lei Jun also responded to netizens who are concerned about the automobile project on the Internet, saying that the automobile project is in full swing and is still at a very early stage. We will report back to you when we have made significant progress.

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.

Alchemy Resources Starts Drilling Copper-Gold Targets at Yellow Mountain

Alchemy Resources announced on September 11 that reverse-circulation drilling has commenced across its Yellow Mountain and Overflow projects in New South Wales, Australia, with up to 15 holes planned during the latest exploration campaign. At the 80%-owned Yellow Mountain project, drilling will test extensions to previously identified copper-gold and polymetallic mineralisation, as well as two previously undrilled geophysical targets. Previous drilling at Yellow Mountain returned an intersection of 113 metres grading 1.17% copper equivalent, comprising 0.33% copper, 0.37 g/t gold, 24.3 g/t silver, 0.86% lead and 1.23% zinc. The latest drilling campaign is designed to test whether the known mineralised system extends into newly identified target areas. The program will also include drilling at the Overflow project, where Alchemy is targeting extensions to existing mineralisation along strike and at depth. Overflow currently hosts an inferred mineral resource of approximately 342,000 ounces of gold equivalent and contains gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc mineralisation. The commencement of drilling provides a near-term test of the scale and continuity of mineralisation at Yellow Mountain. The previously reported broad copper-gold-polymetallic intersection indicates potential for a sizeable mineralised system, while the newly defined geophysical targets provide additional exploration upside. Drilling results will be important in determining whether the mineralised footprint can be materially expanded.

Freeport CEO Signals Likely Go-Ahead for $4.5 Billion Bagdad Copper Expansion

Freeport-McMoRan Chief Executive Officer Kathleen Quirk has indicated that the company expects to move forward with the proposed expansion of its Bagdad copper mine in Arizona, marking a stronger commitment to the project ahead of a formal investment decision. Speaking at the Jefferies Global Industrials Conference on September 10, Quirk said the project still requires input from Freeport's board but that she expects the company will proceed. She described the expansion as a roughly three-year construction project and noted that no major permitting hurdles are expected. Freeport's latest project estimates put capital expenditure for the Bagdad expansion at approximately US$4.5 billion, around 30% above the previous US$3.5 billion estimate, reflecting cost escalation, scope changes and additional engineering. The project would more than double concentrator capacity at Bagdad and is expected to add approximately 200–250 million lb, or around 91,000–113,000 tonnes, of copper production annually, alongside an additional 10–12 million lb of molybdenum. Bagdad currently has a reserve life exceeding 80 years. Freeport's Q2 2026 regulatory filing had described the project as being prepared for a potential investment decision during the second half of 2026. The latest comments therefore represent a more positive signal from management on the likelihood of development, although formal board approval has not yet been announced. A decision to proceed with Bagdad would represent one of Freeport's most significant near-term copper growth investments in the US. The potential addition of more than 90,000 tonnes per year of copper would materially increase Freeport's US output, although first production would remain several years away given the expected construction period. Attention will now turn to formal board approval and a final investment decision.
