The core briquetting equipment of the project has been installed and accepted, and plans are underway to initiate step-by-step commissioning, with the goal of producing the first batch of metallic magnesium in the second half of 2026. Relying on brown coal ash solid waste resources, the plant has been steadily producing high-purity magnesium oxide and has secured a prepayment of US$2 million from the US-based Metal Exchange to lock in sales. With the advancement of the demonstration line, overseas magnesium supply is expected to be slightly supplemented, but large-scale commercial production lines still require financing and approval to be finalized, with a longer capacity release cycle.

[SMM Magnesium Market Analysis: Coal Price Surge Ignites Magnesium Market, Two-Month Consolidation Finally Breaks Out, Production Cuts and Destocking Set Stage for Next Rally] Entering August, the magnesium market seemed to have fallen into a prolonged stalemate. The dividend from July production cuts faded, primary magnesium supply steadily recovered, while summer breaks outside China combined with the domestic die-casting off-season left downstream orders sparse and purchasing sentiment at a freezing point. With both supply and demand weak, magnesium prices were locked firmly in a narrow range of 15,800-15,950 yuan/mt, with little room to move either way. In mid-to-late August, prices even dipped to 15,750 yuan/mt at one point, with the market broadly taking a wait-and-see stance. When this bottom-level consolidation, already lasting two months, would see a turning point remained unknown.
