Report Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoint - In Q1 2025, there was a slight shortage of manganese ore in China due to the lack of supply from South32's Australian mines and reduced supply from Comilog. However, the return of South32's Australian mines in May will increase the supply elasticity of manganese ore, so there's no need to worry too much about Comilog's supply reduction [19]. Summary by Company South32 - In Q1 2025, South32's manganese ore production was 47.6 tons (0 tons from Australian mines), a year - on - year decrease of 59.49% and a quarter - on - quarter decrease of 57.65%. Sales volume was 40.7 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 65.91% and a quarter - on - quarter decrease of 18.27% [2][6]. - The Australian manganese company has been implementing an operation recovery plan since Q3 2024 after being affected by Tropical Cyclone Megan. It is expected to resume export sales in Q2 2025 (about 50,000 tons of manganese ore will arrive at Chinese ports at the end of May). The 25 - fiscal - year production guidance remains unchanged at 1 million tons, and the primary concentrator will restart in Q2 2025 [8]. - From Q3 2024 to Q1 2025, the marketable output of South African manganese decreased by 5% to 1.558 million tons. The sales in Q1 2025 decreased by 18% due to port congestion. The 25 - fiscal - year production guidance remains unchanged at 2 million tons [9]. Eramet - Comilog - In Q1 2025, Comilog's manganese ore production was 1.785 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 7.32% and a quarter - on - quarter increase of 44.3%. Sales volume was 1.24 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 15.42% and a quarter - on - quarter decrease of 12.55% [6][12]. - In Q1 2025, global manganese ore consumption reached 5 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1% and a quarter - on - quarter increase of 6%. Supply was stable at 4.6 million tons. There was a shortage of manganese ore supply, and the ore inventory at Chinese ports decreased significantly to 3.7 million tons at the end of March [13]. - The average price of the manganese ore price index (CRU) (CIF China 44%) was $4.6 per dry metric ton, an 8% increase compared to Q4 2024. The average quarterly offshore cash cost was $2.4 per ton - degree, a 7% year - on - year increase [13][14]. - It is expected that global carbon steel production will remain stable in 2025. The supply is expected to continue to decline in the first half of the year and increase again in the second half. The average price in 2025 is expected to be about $4.7 per ton - degree, and the transportation volume will be between 6.7 million and 7.2 million tons [16]. Tshipi - In Q1 2025, Tshipi exported 777,200 tons, a year - on - year increase of 4.2% and a quarter - on - quarter increase of 13.78%.

Report Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - For lead, the raw material shortage problem remains unsolved, with some secondary lead smelters reducing production due to insufficient raw materials. The demand is in the off - season. Cost support and weak demand are in a tug - of - war. Short - term lead prices are expected to be in a wide - range consolidation, and subsequent macro uncertainties should be continuously monitored [1]. - For zinc, the macro sentiment is stable and positive, but the fundamentals of SHFE zinc are weak. Short - term zinc prices are expected to be in a wide - range consolidation. In the medium - to - long - term, TC still has room to rise, and the center of zinc prices may move down. Subsequent macro sentiment disturbances should be continuously monitored [1]. Summary According to Related Catalogs Lead Price and Market Data - The average price of SMM1 lead ingots was 16,750 yuan/ton, up 0.75% from the previous day. The closing price of the main SHFE lead futures contract was 16,995 yuan/ton, up 1.13% [1]. - The SHFE lead basis was - 245 yuan/ton, a decrease of 65 yuan/ton. The trading volume of the active futures contract was 42,622 lots, up 47.20%, and the open interest was 33,309 lots, down 0.43% [1]. - The LME lead inventory was 251,800 tons, with no change. The SHFE - LME lead price ratio was 8.58, up 1.13% [1]. Industry News - As of May 12, a large lead smelter in Central China will conduct a one - week regular maintenance on its waste battery disassembly production line, and the procurement of waste lead - acid batteries will remain normal [1]. - On May 9, Australian mining company South32 announced that its Hermosa mine project in Arizona reached a key approval node, and the US Forest Service (USFS) officially released the environmental impact assessment draft of the project. The construction of Hermosa has been 40% completed [1]. Fundamental Analysis - The production of primary lead is stable with a slight increase. For secondary lead, the price of waste lead - acid batteries has been rising, and recyclers have limited supplies. Some secondary lead smelters have reduced or stopped production due to cost inversion, and the operating rate has significantly declined [1]. - The demand is in the off - season, and downstream purchasing is weak, providing limited support for lead prices [1]. Zinc Price and Market Data - The average price of SMM1 zinc ingots was 22,650 yuan/ton, down 0.22% from the previous day. The closing price of the main SHFE zinc futures contract was 22,490 yuan/ton, up 1.35% [1]. - The trading volume of the active SHFE zinc futures contract was 229,910 lots, up 64.20%, and the open interest was 118,030 lots, down 0.96% [1]. - The LME zinc inventory was 169,850 tons, with no change.

After the transaction, MAG shareholders will hold about 14% of Pan American. MAG Silver holds a 44% stake in the Juanicipio silver - lead - zinc mine [1]. Fundamental Analysis - Zinc smelters have sufficient raw material stocks, and zinc concentrate processing fees are continuously rising. The limitation of raw material shortage on smelter production has weakened, and the cost - side support has decreased. The profit and production enthusiasm of smelters have improved, and the production increase trend is obvious [1]. - After the May Day holiday, production - cut enterprises have actively resumed production, but the terminal demand has not improved. In different sectors, the operating rate of galvanizing enterprises has significantly increased, but downstream purchasing is mainly for rigid demand; the electronic orders of the die - casting zinc alloy sector are good, but the demand for traditional hardware accessories is weak; the export orders of zinc oxide are uncertain due to the EU's anti - dumping investigation on Chinese tires [1].
