| China still welcomes foreign investment in mining sector - MLR official
China's increasingly restrictive policies on foreign investment will not preclude qualified foreign investors from investing in China's mining sector, a Ministry of Land and Resources (MLR) official said at the MLR-organized China Mining 2007 conference, held in Beijing yesterday.
We strongly welcome foreign companies that possess advanced technology to prospect and develop low-grade mineral resources, as well as carry out deep prospecting and complex ore body prospecting and development in China, in order to support domestic companies. Moreover, foreign companies will easily be able to get the upper hand over Chinese counterparts when bidding for exploration and mining rights, due to their technical advantages," the head of MLR's mineral resource department, Jia Qihai, said.
Jia added that domestic and foreign companies will be treated equally when bidding for exploration and mining rights, as lon

| International conference of nonferrous materials (ICNFM)
Non-ferrous metals are important engineering materials. They have found wide applications in aerospace, machinery, automobile industry, instrumentation, electronic industry, medicine, chemical engineering, electrical appliance, buildings, etc.
In new millennium, besides energy shortage, we human beings face inevitable resource depletion.
In order to achieve self-sustainable development for non-ferrous metal industries, there are many problems and challenges awaiting for us to solve such as pollution control, recycle and reuse of energy and non-ferrous metals, etc.
Technology development and wide cooperation among academy and industry members are keys to solve these problems.
Many new progresses and significant achievements have recent been made on the effective use of mineral resources; pollution reduction; improvement of traditional nonferrous metals. There have been many new materials, equipments and processes dev

China Non-Ferrous Metals Industry Report

| China Non-Ferrous Metals Industry Report
In 2006, China made certain progress in upgrading non-ferrous metals industry, and the growth rate of fixed assets investment in non-ferrous metals declined somewhat. The investment in non-ferrous metals industry added up to RMB 1180.8 billion, up 24.1% and the growth rate decreased by 11% over 2005; besides, the investment in non-ferrous metals industry accounted for 12.7% of China's total investment in fixed assets in urban and rural areas. Smelting industry still attracted the largest proportion, yet the newly-started projects in smelting industry was restrained to some extent, and the investment began to transfer towards mines with unsubstantial capital. The investment structure was further improved.
In 2006, China's non-ferrous metal price continued a large rise after hiking for three consecutive years. Main non-ferrous metals experienced a considerable price hike, especially zinc, copper and nickel. In international spot market,

Non-ferrous metal output rises 24% in first half

| Non-ferrous metal output rises 24% in first half
Non-ferrous metal output in China, the world's top metal producer since 2002, grew by almost one-fourth in the first half of this year as a result of strong demand and prices.
January to June combined production of 10 main metals, such as aluminum, copper, lead and zinc, hit 10.97 million tons, up 24.1 percent from a year ago, according to data from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), China's top economic planner.
Meanwhile, 5.65 million tons of aluminum were produced, an increase of 34.9 percent. Copper production climbed by 12.9 percent to 1.56 million tons.
China Non-ferrous Metal Association, an industry body, predicted in March that the country's 2007 metal production would rise by 15 percent to 22 million tons, including 11 million tons of aluminum and 3.45 million tons of copper.
The NDRC said the rise in production and high metal prices boosted the sector's profits sharply.

Increased mining resource tax to have little impact on industry

Increased mining resource tax to have little impact on industry
Despite the Chinese government's move to significantly raise the resource tax on lead and zinc mines, copper mines and tungsten mines as of Aug. 1 of this year, industry insiders believe the new policy will have a minimal effect on the mining industry as a whole.
According to the policy, five new tax brackets will be introduced for lead and zinc mines, ranging from RMB 10 ($1.32) per ton of lead and zinc ore to RMB 20 ($2.64) per ton of lead and zinc ore, up 400 percent on average from the current resource tax rate.
The five new tax brackets for copper mines range from RMB 5 ($0.66) per ton of copper ore to RMB 7 ($0.93) per ton, up at least 260 percent from current levels while tungsten ore resource tax brackets will range from RMB 7 ($0.93) per ton to RMB 9 ($1.19) per ton, surging 1,516 percent on average from a current average level of RMB 0.50 ($0.07) per ton.

Upcoming China Export Quotas Could Send Molybdenum to Record Price

Upcoming China Export Quotas Could Send Molybdenum to Record Price
Our sources in Asia confirmed an industry trade report pre-announcing China would slash export quotas on molybdenum products by approximately 50 percent. The quotas are expected to take effect next week.
Many had been bracing for a 30-percent reduction in molybdenum exports. Traders are probably reeling now.
Many stainless steel mills go through summer maintenance programs during this period.
After Labor Day, the molybdenum price could rush past the June 2005 record price. This could result in a frenzied market through at least mid spring 2008, as we anticipate traders to fight for depleting molybdenum inventories in the face of continued firm demand.
Next week's China announcement could provide the trigger for a spectacular run.
In a March 2007 interview with Thompson Creek (TCMRF.PK) executive chairman Ian McDonald, his biggest concern was China’s capability of dumping a large quantity of molybden

Refractory Metals: Tungsten and Tungsten alloys
The refractory metals are conveniently described as those which, first of all, melt at temperatures well above the melting points of the common alloying bases, iron, cobalt, and nickel. Second, it seems appropriate to consider the refractory metals as those which have higher melting points than do titanium (melting point 1660°C) and zirconium (1850°C), which are used chiefly at intermediate temperatures. Therefore chromium (melting point 1875°C) is usually classed as a refractory metal.
When the refractory metals are considered to be those metals melting at temperatures above 1850°C, twelve metals are in this group: W (melting point 3410°C), Re, Os, Ta, Mo, Ir, Nb, Ru, Hf, Rh, V, Cr. Metalloids are elements of small atomic size, which form interstitial solid solutions or interstitial compounds with metals. They include hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. In certain cases, small metallic atoms, like boron and beryllium, may enter

Molybdenum introduction
Basic information
Atomic Number: 42 Atomic Radius: 136.2pm
Atomic Symbol: Mo Melting Point: 2623℃
Atomic Weight: 95.94 Boiling Point: 4639℃
Electron Configuration: [Kr]5s14d5
Oxidation States: 6
History
(Gr. molybdos: lead) Before Scheele recognized molybdenite as a distinct ore of a new element in 1778, it was confused with graphite and lead ore. The metal was prepared in impure form in 1782 by Hjelm. Molybdenum does not occur natively, but is obtained principally from molybdenite. Wulfenite, and Powellite are also minor commercial ores.
Sources
Molybdenum is also recovered as a by-product of copper and tungsten mining operations. The metal is prepared from the powder made by the hydrogen reduction of purified molybdic trioxide or ammonium molybdate.
Properties
The metal is silvery white, very hard, but is softer and more ductile than tungsten. It has a high elas

Atomic Number: 74 Atomic Radius: 137.0pm
Atomic Symbol: W Melting Point: 3422℃
Atomic Weight: 183.5 Boiling Point: 5555℃
Electron Configuration: [Xe]6s24f145d4
Oxidation States: 6
History
In 1779 Peter Woulfe examined the mineral now known as wolframite and concluded it must contain a new substance. Scheele, in 1781, found that a new acid could be made from tungsten (a name first applied about 1758 to a mineral now known as scheelite). Scheele and Berman suggested the possibility of obtaining a new metal by reducing this acid. The de Elhuyar brothers found acid in wolframite in 1783 that was identical to the acid of tungsten (tungstic acid) of Scheele, and in that year they succeeded in obtaining the element by reduction of this acid with charcoal. Tungsten occurs in wolframite, scheelite, huebnertie, and ferberite. Important
