SMM Announcement on Revision of Chinese‑English Indicator Units

Published: Oct 14, 2026 14:40 (GMT+8)

Dear Users,

To further improve data quality and guarantee the accuracy, standardization and consistency of information displayed on our platform, we have recently completed a comprehensive review and revision of Chinese‑English units for system data. Relevant notices are set out below:

I. Background for Revision

During routine data maintenance and inspection, we identified issues including incorrect units, faulty translations, truncated English units, and non‑standard capitalization in some Chinese‑English unit entries. Such problems may impair data readability and user experience, and even lead to misinterpretation. Therefore, we launched this special‑purpose revision initiative.

II. Revision Scope

This revision covers the following issues:

  • Incorrect units: Chinese or English units inconsistent with actual definitions, or adoption of invalid measurement units.
  • Translation errors: Inaccurate or inconsistent English translations corresponding to Chinese units.
  • Truncated English units: Incomplete display of English units caused by character‑length constraints and other factors.
  • Improper capitalization of English units: Failure to comply with international conventions for case sensitivity (e.g. "KG" should be "kg", "hz" should be "Hz").

Please refer to the attachment at the end of this document for the full list of affected indicators.

III. Revision Principles

  • Accuracy: Ensure units match the actual meaning of data.
  • Standardization: Comply with the International System of Units (SI) and prevailing industry standards.
  • Consistency: Maintain uniform Chinese‑English representations for identical units across the whole platform.
  • Completeness: Present full English unit names without truncation due to character limits. Non‑standard abbreviations are prohibited except for internationally‑accepted shorthand forms.

IV. Effective Date

This unit revision will be completed and officially taken effect on October 15, 2026. Revised data will be synchronously rolled out across relevant modules of the platform.

Rio Tinto reported that its wholly owned Kennecott operation's Bingham Canyon mine produced 2,600 tonnes of molybdenum concentrate containing 900 tonnes of molybdenum in the third quarter of 2026. Product mass fell 29.7% from the second quarter and contained molybdenum dropped 40.0%; year-on-year declines were 21.2% and 30.8%. Ore treated rose 46.5% quarter on quarter to 9.726 million tonnes, while copper in concentrate increased 66.8%, but the molybdenum ore grade fell from 0.049% to 0.028%. This indicates that lower molybdenum grade, rather than reduced throughput, drove the decline. Nine-month contained molybdenum output still rose 40.0% year on year to 4,900 tonnes.

Centinela's two unions resumed voluntary mediation on October 13 and quantified the strike's operational impact. They said conventional haul trucks in service fell to 25 from 67, while 17 autonomous trucks were running compared with 21 normally. The unions represent more than half of critical equipment operators and over 60% of maintenance staff, warning impacts could intensify in November. Antofagasta Minerals earlier said the strike involved 709 workers, or 22% of direct employees, and kept its production outlook unchanged. Centinela's 2026 molybdenum guidance remains 3,000–3,500 tonnes of contained metal. No company statement has confirmed a molybdenum circuit shutdown or quantified lost molybdenum output, so SMM is not revising its supply forecast.
