几内亚矿复产，氧化铝再平衡下价格推演

Group 1: Report Abstract - Guinea's political regime is stabilizing, and the probability of policy - related risk events is decreasing. The partial resumption of Axis Mine indicates that Guinea still aims at resource export. Without considering cost - related mine production cuts, Guinea's bauxite shipment volume could reach about 180 million tons in 2026. Assuming no domestic alumina production cuts, the consumption of imported ore in 2026 will be 215 million tons. With a slight increase in ore supply from other countries, the bauxite supply is expected to remain in surplus [2]. - When the bauxite price drops to $65 per ton, alumina enterprises won't cut production due to losses. Even if all loss - making mines in Guinea shut down, the bauxite inventory will still be at a safe level. When the price drops to $60 per ton, 67 million tons of loss - making capacity in Guinea will stop production, and the alumina supply will still be in surplus by 2 million tons throughout the year. If alumina production is cut to achieve supply - demand balance, the bauxite price in Guinea will drop to $55 per ton or lower, and the corresponding alumina futures price will be 2250 - 2300 yuan per ton [2][3]. Group 2: Guinea Event Review - Axis Mine Resumption as a Policy - Oriented Signal - In May 2025, Guinea revoked the mining licenses of many companies, and Axis Mine was forced to stop work. In July, the mining license was to be granted to Shunda Mining, but in August, the agreement was annulled. In August, a new mining company N.M.C was established to take over the mining rights of EGA - GAC. In September, the resumption expectation of Nimba Mining SA was strengthening, and it might resume mining in October. In September, a mining enterprise union in Guinea submitted a strike notice. In November, Nimba Mining started bauxite barge shipment. In December, GIC was allowed to resume operations, and Nimba Mining planned to resume mining and set an export target [8][9]. Group 3: Guinea Bauxite Shipment Volume Projection - In 2024, Guinea's total bauxite shipment volume was 145.86 million tons, and China imported 110.2 million tons from Guinea, accounting for 75%. In 2025, Guinea's shipment volume is expected to reach 160 million tons, with China's import accounting for 90%. In 2026, without considering cost - related production cuts, Guinea's shipment volume could reach about 180 million tons, with the supply increment mainly from Axis and the former GAC mines [10][11]. Group 4: China's Bauxite Consumption Analysis - From January to October 2025, China's cumulative bauxite imports were 171 million tons, of which 127 million tons were from Guinea, accounting for 74.2%. The annual import volume is expected to be 200 million tons, with 145 million tons from Guinea and 55 million tons from other countries. In 2025, the consumption of imported bauxite in China is expected to be 180 million tons, with a supply surplus of 11.7%. In 2026, China's imports are expected to reach about 230 million tons. If domestic alumina production doesn't decline, the consumption of imported ore in 2026 will be 215 million tons, and the bauxite supply will still be in surplus [13][14]. - According to cost calculations, when the CIF price drops to $65 per ton, 30 million tons of capacity in Guinea will face losses; when it drops to $60 per ton, the loss - making capacity will expand to 67 million tons [14]. Group 5: Summary - Guinea's political regime is stabilizing, and the probability of policy - related risk events is decreasing. The partial resumption of Axis Mine indicates the country's focus on resource export. The reality and expectation of alumina supply surplus remain unchanged. When the bauxite supply is in surplus, the alumina price will fall, squeezing the smelter's profit and then pushing down the bauxite price until bauxite production is cut. After bauxite production cuts, the alumina price still needs to fall to squeeze the production space of alumina enterprises until alumina production is cut to reverse the surplus situation [30].
