5N Plus plans to expand its St. George, Utah facility by approximately 50%, with completion targeted for H2 2027. The site transforms indium antimonide and other specialty materials into semiconductor materials, wafers, substrates and selected components, with recovery, purification and crystal-growth capabilities. New equipment will be installed progressively, but InSb-specific capacity was not disclosed; the 50% figure refers to the facility expansion, not indium demand.

[SMM Chromium Flash] Chromium Ores and Ferrochromium Made Up Nearly 29% of Zimbabwe's August EU Exports

Chromium ores and concentrates accounted for 17.2% of Zimbabwe's exports to the European Union in August 2026, with ferrochromium contributing a further 11.3%, according to trade figures released by the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZimStat). Combined with tobacco, partly or wholly stemmed or stripped, at 66.3%, the three products made up about 95% of Zimbabwe's total exports to the EU that month. Zimbabwe's total exports to the EU in August stood at US$19.1 million, meaning chromium ores, concentrates and ferrochromium together accounted for roughly US$5.5 million of that total. This EU figure represents a small fraction of Zimbabwe's overall chrome and ferrochrome export earnings, which flow predominantly to China and other Asian markets rather than Europe, and it sits within a broader August trade release in which Zimbabwe's total exports across all destinations reached US$1.679 billion, driven overwhelmingly by semi-manufactured gold.

[SMM Analysis] DRC Coltan in 2025: What Production and Export Data Reveal

The Democratic Republic of the Congo remains the world’s leading tantalum producer. The harmonised 2025 statistics used for this analysis report 1,434.17 tonnes of coltan, with 88.1% attributed to artisanal mining. They also reveal a supply chain concentrated in a few provinces and firms, wide export unit-value differences and official totals that do not fully agree. The central issue is therefore not only how much Congo produces, but how well each tonne is recorded from mine to export.
