[Bulls reduce positions; SHFE zinc pulls back intraday] The most-traded SHFE zinc 2610 contract opened at 26,460 yuan/mt. After the open, it drifted higher, hitting a session high of 26,745 yuan/mt, then pulled back, touching a low of 26,125 yuan/mt near the end, and eventually closed lower at 26,140 yuan/mt.....

[Zinc Concentrate Production] According to SMM, a mine in North China plans to begin maintenance from late August for approximately 15 days. Zinc concentrate output is expected to decline by 1,000 metal tonnes month-on-month in September.

It is reported that the Xiejiagou Lead-Zinc Flotation Plant, a core supporting project of Jinhui Mining’s Jiangluo Mine with a designed processing capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per year, recently successfully completed ore-feed commissioning, marking a major milestone in the mine’s capacity development. The flotation plant was specifically constructed to support the Jiangluo Mine’s own mineral resources, with all feedstock sourced from the Xiangyangshan, Xiejiagou, and Yangjiashan lead-zinc mines within the mining area. Once operational, the plant will enable centralized and efficient processing of the mine’s own ore, significantly increasing the company’s ore-processing capacity and beneficiation efficiency while improving the overall utilization of mineral resources.
