According to market sources, due to the impact of an incident related to the Meishan Coal Mine in Lianyuan, Loudi, Hunan Province, some major antimony ore operations in Hunan have also entered production suspension for rectification, including several large antimony ore operations with monthly output of more than 100 mt. Sources said these antimony ore operations would be suspended for at least about one month, which will, to some extent, affect Hunan’s antimony ore supply in the short term.
