[SMM Flash News]: It is understood that a primary lead smelter in south-west China is expected to conduct a one-week maintenance starting from late June. During the maintenance period, the entire crude smelting and electrolysis lines will be shut down for maintenance, which is expected to affect the daily production of lead ingots by approximately 300 mt. As this maintenance plan is a routine one, adjustments have been made to the production in advance, and it is expected that the monthly production will not be affected.
