According to SMM data, China's total bauxite production in June 2024 (30 days) reached 4.9897 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 16.03% and a month-on-month increase of 1.32%.
In terms of regional distribution, although a small number of bauxite mines in Shanxi Province have resumed production, the increase is limited, leading to a shortage of spot supply.
In the Sanmenxia region of Henan Province, underground mining has resumed, but the proportion is relatively low, so the increase in domestic mine production is small, with a decrease of about 25% in June compared with the same period in 2023.
Bauxite production in Guizhou Province still faces resistance, and the output has not reached expectations.
Guangxi region is still affected by the rainy season, but mines have prepared well beforehand, and the ore washing process has been less affected, temporarily having no significant impact on alumina plant production.
