[SMM Weekly Magnesium Production Flash Report] From June 5th to June 11th, the weekly production of the national sample magnesium plants was 25,865 tons, with a weekly operating rate of 84.85%, up 1.23% month-on-month. Most primary magnesium smelting manufacturers have been operating normally this week. It is understood that a primary magnesium smelting enterprise in the main production area has increased its daily production, resulting in a slight increase in primary magnesium output. In the long term, currently primary magnesium smelting manufacturers have insufficient willingness to halt production for maintenance. Only one primary magnesium smelting enterprise in Shaanxi Province is expected to halt production for maintenance in mid-to-late June, and one primary magnesium smelting enterprise in Shanxi Province has extended its maintenance time until the end of June, while other manufacturers are operating normally.

Qingyang Accelerates "World Magnesium Capital" Development, Output Surges 61.3% in H1

[SMM Magnesium Express]According to a report by China News Service, Qingyang County in Anhui Province is leveraging its dolomite resources to accelerate the development of a "World Magnesium Capital". In the first half of the year, the output value of the entire magnesium-aluminum light alloy industry chain reached 2.59 billion yuan, marking a year-on-year increase of 61.3%. The annual output value is expected to exceed 5 billion yuan. Anhui Baomai's 100,000-ton production line has been put into full-process mass production, with a total planned production capacity of 300,000 tons, accounting for about one-quarter of the country's total. The only magnesium water direct supply short-process industrial park in China has been completed and put into use. With the continuous acceleration of industrial agglomeration and technological transformation, Qingyang is expected to become an important production base for magnesium-based new materials in the country.
