Summary of the Conference Call on Huaxi Nonferrous Metals Industry Overview - **Antimony Market**: China dominates the global antimony supply, controlling approximately 50% of production and 70-80% of smelting. The market is currently experiencing a split due to export controls, leading to domestic oversupply and overseas shortages. [2][4][5] - **Tin Market**: The tin market is expected to experience a long-term bullish trend over the next 3-5 years, driven by continuous global demand and supply challenges. The supply growth has been stagnant for the past decade, with new mining developments lagging behind. [2][6][8] Key Insights - **Antimony Price Trends**: Following the easing of export controls, domestic antimony prices have risen to over 170,000 CNY, while overseas prices have decreased to around 350,000 CNY. Future price increases will depend on the stabilization of overseas prices. [2][5] - **Tin Demand Drivers**: Tin is increasingly in demand due to its applications in electronics and semiconductors. The semiconductor industry's recovery is expected to boost sales by 15-20% in 2025, with a significant reduction in inventory levels. [2][9] - **Strategic Importance of Antimony**: Antimony is recognized for its strategic importance, particularly in military applications. The government is likely to implement policies to stabilize prices and enhance profitability for antimony producers. [4][7] Company Positioning - **Huaxi Nonferrous Metals**: The company is positioned to benefit from both antimony and tin markets, with plans to increase production by approximately 15% in 2026 and nearly 40% by 2027. The company aims to consolidate regional resources and expand its project portfolio. [3][11][12] - **Future Growth Potential**: By 2030, the company anticipates an additional demand of over 70,000 tons driven by AI and semiconductor recovery, while facing a significant supply gap. This positions Huaxi Nonferrous Metals favorably for long-term growth. [12] Additional Considerations - **Supply Constraints**: The global tin supply is critically low, with reserves expected to last only about 14 years. This scarcity, combined with increasing demand from new technologies, is likely to keep tin prices elevated. [8] - **Impact of Wa State**: The Wa State's policies are expected to influence global tin supply, but current high prices have not sufficiently incentivized rapid production recovery. [10] This summary encapsulates the key points discussed in the conference call regarding the antimony and tin markets, the strategic positioning of Huaxi Nonferrous Metals, and the broader implications for the industry.

Summary of Antimony Industry Conference Call Industry Overview - The antimony industry is experiencing significant changes due to China's recent policy adjustments regarding antimony exports to the U.S. This is expected to substantially increase antimony export volumes, particularly to the U.S., thereby driving up domestic and international antimony prices [2][3][4]. Key Points Policy Changes - In late October, the Ministry of Commerce released export declaration conditions for state-owned trading enterprises for 2026-2027, providing clarity on future export trade and alleviating uncertainties regarding export policies [3] - On November 7, the Ministry announced the lifting of export restrictions on antimony to the U.S., effective until November 27, 2026, which is anticipated to boost China's antimony export volumes [3][4]. Supply Dynamics - Antimony is characterized by its strong scarcity, with a static extraction ratio of only 20 years, significantly lower than copper and lithium, which have ratios of 36 and 125 years, respectively [5]. - Global tin production has decreased from 178,000 tons in 2011 to an estimated 125,000 tons in 2024, a decline of 30%. China's tin production has dropped from 150,000 tons to 56,000 tons, a 63% decrease, primarily due to declining ore grades and the depletion of rich ores [5]. - The production of tin by Russia's Jikin Gold Company has also significantly declined, from 27,000 tons in 2023 to 12,700 tons in 2024, a 53% year-on-year drop [5].

The main sources of demand for antimony are flame retardants (45%), photovoltaics (27%), and lead-acid batteries (17%) [6]. - After a peak in substitution earlier this year, remaining demand is primarily rigid, with limited further substitution potential [6]. Market Conditions - Current inventories of antimony among refineries, traders, and users are low, leading to active market inquiries and increased transaction volumes, which support rising antimony prices [6]. - The domestic antimony price is expected to continue rising, while international prices may decline, leading to a gradual narrowing of the price gap between domestic and international markets [4][7]. Investment Opportunities - Huaxi Nonferrous is highlighted as a company with significant investment potential due to its expansion plans and being in an upward cycle. The company is expanding its Gaofeng and Copper Pit mines, with expected production capacities of 11,600 tons/year and 18,000 tons/year, respectively, representing year-on-year increases of over 60% and 130% [4][9]. Additional Insights - Historical tin price fluctuations have been influenced by supply, demand, and policy factors, with notable events including supply reductions due to environmental regulations and economic downturns impacting demand [8]. - The current environment suggests a continued tight supply situation for antimony, with limited global supply growth anticipated in the near term [5][6].
