Changan Automobile (000625) today 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.

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.

AusQuest CSAMT survey outlines 2.5 km by 1 km porphyry footprint at Peru's Cangallo

AusQuest (ASX:AQD) has released results of a Controlled Source Audio-frequency Magnetotelluric (CSAMT) survey at its 100%-owned Cangallo porphyry copper-gold project in southern Peru, carried out by Quantec Geoscience. The survey outlines an interpreted mineralised porphyry footprint of at least 2.5 km by 1 km and identifies two additional high-priority targets east and west of the known system whose resistivity signatures resemble the main Cangallo porphyry. Deeper low-resistivity anomalies (250-400 ohm-metres) beyond 500 m at the northern and southern margins point to untested porphyry centres now ranked as priority drill targets. Cangallo spans about 60 km2 near the coast; prior RC drilling confirmed mineralisation over 1,500 m of strike, 250-500 m wide and beyond 400 m depth, with broad intervals around 0.5% copper. Follow-up drilling begins once Stage 4 permits are secured.

Peru's Jan-Jul copper output rises 2.2% as Antamina and Las Bambas lead mines

Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) reported national copper output of 1,599,115 tonnes in the first seven months of 2026, up 2.2% year on year, with July production of 236,515 tonnes rising 3.7% on higher output at Antamina (+83%) and Cerro Verde (+18%). On a mine basis, Antamina produced 297,145 tonnes through July, a 54% jump and a 14.3% national share, held by BHP, Glencore, Teck and Mitsubishi. MMG's Las Bambas yielded 245,610 tonnes (-1.1%; 14.83% share), ranking as the No. 2 copper mine, while Freeport's Cerro Verde produced 231,023 tonnes and Southern Copper's Peruvian unit 218,213 tonnes (-10.3%). Antamina and Las Bambas lead on a mine-level basis, underscoring a steady recovery in Peruvian supply that buffers a globally tight concentrate market.

Aldebaran flags near-2 km continuous mineralisation at Altar copper-gold system

Aldebaran Resources (TSX-V:ALDE) has closed out the 2025-2026 infill and geotechnical campaign at its Altar copper-gold project in San Juan, Argentina, with hole ALD-26-260 returning 1,728.9 m (close to 2 km) of continuous mineralisation grading 0.45% CuEq from 141 m, including 756 m at 0.68% CuEq at depth. CEO John Black said the more-than-1.7-km interval in a single hole underscores the enormous scale of the Altar system. Since the late-2024 resource estimate, over 40,000 m have been drilled at the main deposit, with about 30,000 m at the adjacent Pórfido Radio target still outside any resource. The infill work is designed to upgrade Inferred resources to Measured and Indicated categories and to feed a 2026 resource update and the 2027 pre-feasibility study. Altar comprises several copper-gold porphyry deposits; Aldebaran holds an 80% interest.
