Copper price rises as supply worries return www.mining.com

Copper prices advanced on Friday after workers at Codelco’s Andina copper mine in Chile went on strike, raising supply disruption risks.
Copper for delivery in September rose 1% from Thursday’s settlement price, touching $4.431 per pound ($9,748 per tonne) on the Comex market in New York.
Copper prices have soared to record highs this year, handing unions in Chile additional leverage, ratcheting up tensions in labor negotiations and putting pressure on global supply of the red metal.
On Thursday, two unions at Andina walked off the job after rejecting the latest contract offer, while workers at JX Nippon Copper’s Caserones mine also went on a strike after labor contract talks collapsed.
Andina produced 184,000 tonnes of copper in 2020, while Caserones delivered 126,972 tonnes of copper in 2020.
On Thursday, workers at Chile’s Escondida mine, the world’s biggest copper deposit, approved a new contract, avoiding a labor strike.

Potential safety checks at Chinese coal mines may boost imports from Russia, Mongolia www.globaltimes.cn

A highly likely round of safety inspections at China's coal mines may worsen the already tight supply in the nation, which in turn could boost imports from Russia and Mongolia, industry experts said on Sunday, after a mine in Northwest China's Qinghai Province was flooded by mud.
The potential impact comes as summer demand for power plants is still strong, and truck drivers are waiting for hours to load coal, pushing prices up about 10 percent since July. Shortages may speed up China's coal imports from neighbors such as Russia and Mongolia, an expert said.
Rescue efforts were still underway at the coal mine in Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai, where the incident has left one dead and 19 others trapped, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Sunday.
"The mine was ordered by the provincial mine safety administration on August 2 to suspend production and rectify irregularities," Yin Maowen, deputy head of Haibei prefecture, told a press conference on Sunday, per the Xinhua report.
The mine, which opened in September 2009, produced 900,000 tons a year, according to Xinhua.
The incident will have an impact on China's coal production, as local authorities will likely strengthen safety inspections, an Inner Mongolia-based industry source who preferred to remain anonymous told the Global Times on Sunday.
China's coal supply is already tight. According to domestic media outlet qhrb.com.cn, stockpiles at China's main coal port Qinhuangdao totaled 4.23 million tons on Friday, down 4.3 percent compared with a week earlier. Guangzhou Port in South China's Guangdong Province had 2.45 million tons, down 6 percent on a weekly basis, and Caofeidian Port in North China's Hebei Province had 3.04 million tons, down 9 percent.
"Because of the unprecedented havoc in China-Australia relations, which reduced China's coal purchases from the country, more sources will be needed to make up for the shortage," Song Kui, president of the Contemporary China-Russia Regional Economy Research Institute, told the Global Times on Sunday.
"We have sourced coal from Russia, Mongolia and other countries as the new strategic direction. They are our neighbors, making transport more convenient," Song noted.
However, the coronavirus slowed customs clearance between China and Mongolia, Song pointed out. In order to increase coal exports, Mongolia decided to set up more checkpoints at its border with China, media reports said.
In July, China imported 30.18 million tons of coal, up 15.62 percent year-on-year, customs data showed.

New policies in Inner Mongolia may tighten synthetic graphite supply – report www.mining.com

A new report by Roskill states that the synthetic graphite market could be driven into a deficit as a consequence of booming demand from growth in the lithium-ion battery and downstream EV sectors worldwide, and the strict energy consumption control policy for high-energy consuming industries that Inner Mongolia has applied in response to China’s 14th Five-Year Plan.
The new controls have limited the production of synthetic graphite from existing producers as the supply of electricity to the region’s synthetic graphite graphitization plants decreased by 15-30% since April, according to Chinese industry research firm ICCSINO. The situation improved in May and June, but supply tightened again in July, with utilization rates falling by 10% in Ulanqab.
Besides potentially affecting the possibility of new projects getting government approval, Roskill says that this situation has led to a 70% increase in the price of active anode material (AAM) based on synthetic graphite.
“As synthetic graphite is manufactured specifically for the end-user, a reduction in planned output effectively represents a deficit in the supply/demand balance,” the report states. “[This could lead to] even higher prices for synthetic graphite and AAM.”
The market analyst explains that Inner Mongolia is an important Chinese production hub for synthetic graphite due to its relatively low electricity unit price. Large amounts of electricity are needed to fuel the graphitization process, which is a major part of synthetic graphite manufacture.
The graphitization process requires temperatures above 2,300 degrees Celsius and consumes large amounts of energy at more than 12,000 kWh/t.
Given its privileged position when it comes to energy prices, Inner Mongolia hosts approximately 46% of China’s graphitization capacity.
However, if things are to continue down the same road, Roskill suggests that in the short term, new capacity could be brought online in other provinces, such as Sichuan, Shanxi or Yunnan, to substitute for lower supply in Inner Mongolia. In the longer term, new project capacity will need to be set up in China, and potentially in other regions, to meet the large forecast growth in demand.

Covid-19 Update: Variant Data, Mongolian Mutations and the Western Provinces www.news.mn

Roughly 60 percent of Mongolians have been fully vaccinated, however, the deadly Delta variant of Covid-19 is still spreading in the country of three million. According to Health Ministry, the Delta variant is now being detected in 10 percent of daily cases; these are fluctuating between 1000 and 2000 in Mongolia.
This week, mutations of Covid-19 are confirmed in 10-20 percent of PCR positive samples. The Delta variant accounts for 10 percent of all confirmed samples.
Separately, results of 38 out of 260 samples sent to Japan have revealed 32 Alpha variants, two Delta variants and 4 new types of mutation first detected in Mongolia.
In recent days, 70-80 percent of all cases in Mongolia have been confirmed in the 21 provinces. Two western Mongolian provinces, namely Bayan-Ulgii and Khovd have been especially hard hit by Covid-19 since the end of July as local tourism began. According to officials, daily Covid-19 cases have been sharply raised in Khovd province after the Danshig Naadam festival was organized locally last week. As for Bayan-Ulgii, Mongolia’s only majority-Kazakh province, the boost in transmissions has been attributed to the many weddings; these are always large-scale events.

Venomous snakes in the streets of Ulaanbaatar www.news.mn

Venomous snakes have been discovered lurking in the streets of Ulaanbaatar. Mongolia’s National Emergency Management Agency on Friday warned citizens to beware of venomous snakes after several Shield-Nose snakes were found in residential areas of the capital.
Over 30 snake alerts have been made in the residential Khan-Uul, Bayanzurkh and Songinokhairkhan Districts of Ulaanbaatar so far this year. So far, two people have died after having been bitten by snakes in Mongolia.
Most recently, a man died at the National Trauma and Orthopedic Research Centre on 6 August four days after being bitten by a snake. The victim was bitten by snake while camping in Khan-Uul District of Ulaanbaatar.
There are two species of snakes which are common in Ulaanbaatar – the Gloydius Halys (venomous) and Elaphe Dione (non-venomous). The explanations for the appearance of the snakes on the streets of the capital is that, firstly, they may be being attracted to the residential areas in search of food, and secondly, that they may have been brought in by flooding.
