Changan Automobile (000625) on June 7 issued a public statement regarding the online Complaint Letter to the Purchasing Department of Changan Automobile. It stated that Changan Automobile has never received any "letter" from any supplier.

"Due to changes in raw material prices, changes in demand, technological innovation and other reasons, upstream and downstream companies in the supply chain negotiate supply prices every year, and that’s a conventional practice in the automotive industry. The methods adopted are all based on the business negotiations between Changan Automobile and the spare parts companies, and the settlement prices are all implemented in accordance with the business contracts signed after the negotiations. The content of "direct deduction of production value" and "direct deduction of payment for goods" mentioned in the letter is not true.”

In addition, Changan Automobile has reported the defamation of goodwill involved in the letter to the public security authority. The case is now being investigated.

Spartan Metals Corp. released an updated mineral resource estimate for the Victorio tungsten-molybdenum project in New Mexico. Measured and indicated resources total 84.54 million short tons grading 0.09% molybdenum, containing 147.85 million lb (about 67,064 tonnes) of molybdenum. Inferred resources total 101.84 million short tons grading 0.06%, containing 130.02 million lb (about 58,976 tonnes).

【Flash | Strike Begins at Highland Valley Copper as Operations Fall to Reduced Capacity】

Teck Resources confirmed that United Steelworkers Local 7619 has begun strike action at the Highland Valley Copper operation in Canada, with the mine continuing to operate at reduced capacity. The operation’s existing 2026 molybdenum production guidance is 1,500–1,800 tonnes, against approximately 700 tonnes produced in the first half. Teck said the impact on overall production will depend on the duration of the labour action. The company has not disclosed the scale of the operating reduction, quantified any molybdenum production loss or revised its annual guidance. Attention has therefore shifted from whether the strike would begin to how long reduced operations may continue.
