10月10日（周五），智利国家铜业公司（Codelco）旗下El Teniente矿场事故造成的铜产量损失料比之前预测高出45%，但Codelco主席Maximo Pacheco仍预 测这家全球最大铜矿商今年的产量将小幅增加。 智利El Teniente项目产量损失，以及包括自由港麦克默伦公司（Freeport-McMoRan）旗下印尼Grasberg项目中断，导致供应收紧，在本周将铜价推升至每吨 11,000美元，接近去年触及的纪录高位。 Pacheco表示："这是由于矿床西北部的几何形状变化和空洞相互作用而产生的垂直卸载过程……削弱了结构，从而促进了物质的向下移动。这意味着在较深 处，岩层会相互错动。" 他补充道，这意味着Codelco需要对整个矿井（该矿井由4,500公里的隧道组成）的地形结构、地震活动以及地质力学因素进行持续监测。 环境许可 Pacheco表示，Codelco计划在2027年之前申请相关环保许可，以实现其Andina矿与相邻的英美矿业的Los Bronces项目联合运营。 El Teniente是智利国家铜业公司（Codelco）最赚钱的一个项目，7月发生的事故将其今年产量削减4.8万 ...

最新研究表明，约640万吨铜产能因环境、社会和治理（ESG）问题陷入停滞或暂停状态，相当于全球矿产总产量的25%以上。 GEM矿业咨询分析师指出，与地质或技术障碍不同，这些瓶颈可通过强化治理、深化社区参与及推行可持续实践来解决。该研究发布之际，电气化、可再 生能源增长及数字经济正持续推升铜需求。 智利、秘鲁和美国等国目前拥有大量未投入市场的铜储量。GEM经济学负责人Patricio Faúndez指出，即使仅开发其中一小部分项目，也能缓解能源转型期间 迫在眉睫的供应短缺问题。 秘鲁未开发铜矿储量占比最高，约31%或180万吨，其次是美国80万吨、智利70万吨，阿根廷和巴布亚新几内亚（PNG）各约60万吨。 秘鲁当前停产的铜矿产量几乎等同于其年产量。研究指出，若这些产能得以释放，秘鲁年产量将突破400万吨，超越刚果民主共和国重夺全球第二大铜生产 国地位。 在美国，重启搁置项目可缩小国内产量与消费增长之间的缺口，增强供应保障并降低进口依赖。 智利方面，这些滞留的铜矿产能有望终结该国长达数十年的年产量550万吨天花板，推动产量突破600万吨，巩固其全球供应主导地位。 在33个因ESG因素停滞的项目中，秘鲁La Gr ...

赞比亚今年有望创下铜产量新高，在铜价飙升、需求持续增长之际，进一步巩固其作为全球主要供应国的地位。 主要矿山频发事故和停产挤压供应，推动铜价今年上涨逾20%，而赞比亚作为少数产量持续攀升的地区尤为引人注目。若能在竞争对手受挫之际实现增产， 这个财政紧张的国家或将收获意外之财。 此轮涨势主要源于接连不断的供应冲击。今年早些时候，刚果民主共和国一座大型铜矿遭遇洪水侵袭，智利则发生数十年来最严重的矿难。上月，全球第二 大铜矿发生泥石流，迫使运营商自由港麦克莫兰公司大幅下调今年及明年的产量预期。本周，泰克资源公司亦下调其智利旗舰铜矿的产量预期。 赞比亚是非洲第二大铜生产国，仅次于邻国刚果民主共和国。数据显示，矿企已宣布逾100亿美元投资计划，预计到2030年将使年产量增加约120万吨，而去 年产量为82.1万吨。 （文华综合） 作为全球最大的铜消费国，中国产业链面临三大挑战：上游资源对外依存度攀升、中游加工环节产能过剩、下游需求受高铜价抑制。为助力行业应对变局， 上海有色网携手铜产业链企业联合编制《2026中国铜产业链分布图》中英双语版，点击此链接即可免费领取铜产业链分布图： https://s.wcd.im/v/4 ...
