DOMESTIC ZINC/LEAD CONCENTRATE PRICING
RISING PRICES LIFTING ALL BOATS, BUT SMELTER SHARE BETTER THAN INTERNATIONAL!
Domestic mines getting higher percentage of metal prices for their concentrates.
But higher prices mean smelters better off and very profitable!

High treatment charges encouraging expansion of smelting.
Emergence of integrated producers. Mining moving to Western China, so smelting
moving to Western China.
Some stranded zinc smelters in eastern China may import more Peruvian concentrates.

CHINA ZINC METAL CONSUMPTION

Source: AsianMetal, February 2007
-
Stronger government enforcement on environmental protection policies such as Shaoguan Smelter shutdown for two months.
More investment into environmental protection facilities at smelters are ongoing which are adding to higher costs.
But still some small furnaces are operating in mountainous areas stimulated by high commodity prices.
Government targeting polluting industries via VAT rebate reductions, restrictions on tolling, export taxes, and quotas.
23
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES COMING TO BEAR
-
CONCLUSIONS: ZINC
24
Zinc is basically a domestic business with smelters relying on increasing domestic concentrate production to supply booming domestic demand.
Chinas trade position of concentrates and metal driven by swings in the arbitrages between concentrates and metal.
China can move from a net importer to a net exporter of metal, or vice versa, very easily.
China to put ceiling on TCs and floor on zinc prices.
-
CONCLUSIONS: LEAD
25
Increase in lead ingot production slowing due to tight raw material supply.
Export will decrease mainly due to the removal of export tax rebate and export tax.
Domestic concs production continues growing but at a slow pace.
-
China mine production remains strong. Border Trade is threatening traditional
concentrate imports. Domestic Chinese zinc and lead metal
consumption is continuing very strong. Stricter macro/environmental policies
are starting to change the industry.
26
CONCLUSIONS: OVERALL
-
Peruvian Concentrates are Competitive,BUT: Freight rates, Voyage times, and Financing are hurting competitiveness moving forward.
China is a Long Term Buyer of Peruvian Ores,BUT: Border Trade is starting to cut into Perus market share.
Peru is well positioned to take advantage of Chinas boom in commodity demand,BUT: The vast majority of business is through the trade with no direct business and lack of product control.
Chinese Strategic Investments are Targeting Peru,BUT: Competition is emerging from both China domestic and border regions.
