Strong ESG integration in producing greener tin. MSC is well-placed to reap the positive spillover effect of structural demand for environmentally-friendly commodities. MSC is doubling its efforts to integrate ESG practices across its businesses, especially through the new plant. The plant uses 1.26MWp solar PV panels and a waste heat recovery function that will harness thermal energy from the furnace’s flue gas to generate power. The use of natural gas and the new TSL furnace will help raise efficiency and reduce carbon emissions by at least 1,000mt/year, which means MSC’s smelter will have one of the lowest carbon footprints globally. Its RHT mine is the only tin mine in Malaysia that operates using two of its own mini hydropower stations. These practices could result in MSC becoming the preferred ESG investing target, besides benefitting from growing demand for eco-friendly tin products
Myanmar Wa region department , or The Ministry of Finance and the Bureau of Industry and Mining does not made any announcement yet. LME Tin price hover around 27800 awaiting news to find direction
MSC minimum 3 above. after 3, see downstream demand how in Sept. Tin is like miracle mineral, almost all sector that related to energy transition need it. macro economic is condusive, good for MSC
The high cash premium has drawn in metal at multiple LME warehouse locations.
Deliveries have been concentrated at Malaysia's Port Klang and Singapore, but tin has also been warranted in Rotterdam, Antwerp, the Italian ports of Genoa and Trieste, the Spanish port of Bilbao and the U.S.
guess who busy delivery physical tin in port klang and make huge profits?
CIMB willing to buy back CW at high premium . this CI expired date 30/8. this happen when MM afraid of limit up could take place before the expired date.
We have confirmation that Wa State mines were closed on August 1 as mandated. Some China smelters have stock so that should provide some immediate buffer," the ITA told Reuters.
"The suspension had been estimated by China sources to last for between one and three months, but more recent news suggests that may be too optimistic," the ITA said, without providing further details.
The bulk of tin mined in the self-declared Wa State, which borders China's Yunnan province, is usually supplied to Chinese smelters. China sources most of its tin needs ore from Myanmar, where the Wa region accounts for two thirds of production.
"While the reliance on the (Wa) region continues to fall, it is still about 75%, so it is going to be very hard for China to transition away from this key miner," said Daria Efanova at brokers Sucden Financial.
"If we see the ban implemented in quite a sharp manner into the fourth quarter, that's when we might see some tightness in the market because there will not be enough time for China to shift to other miners."
Myanmar close tin mined loh But no official news mah Syndicates short sell loh Killed all bulls than once news out kill all bear Down first rocket up next loh
In a resolute move, the Wa State Government has firmly enforced the suspension of all mining activities, according to the “Wa Jing Zi No. 2023-06” notice issued by the Central Economic Commission on April 15 and the subsequent “Notice on the Implementation of ‘Suspension of All Mineral Resources Exploitation'” on May 20. Effective from August 1, 2023, all mines and processing plants, regardless of size, have ceased production. The majority of local workers have been temporarily dismissed, and ore transport vehicles are prohibited from operation to prevent any raw ore transportation. A working group will enforce the suspension with mine inspections.
Top leaders of Wa State convened to discuss the mining ban although no formal statement has yet been released.
Currently, it is reported that the Wa State government has approximately two million physical tons of mined raw ore stocks, with an estimated benefication potential of 5,000-6,000 metal tons of tin concentrate. However, due to the shutdown of the dressing plant, benefication and sales of concentrate products have been halted. Additionally, around 1,500 metal tons of tin ore are awaiting clearance at the Meng’a Port, potentially leading to a period of stagnation in exports after August 10.
The market’s previous expectations of one to three months for the suspension now seem overly optimistic, as the Wa State Government is clearly committed to policy enforcement. An expectation that processing of stockpiles could still go ahead appears to have been quashed by the ban on ore transport. Reopening of mines may also now take longer.
July exports from Wa State were significantly up as local traders cashed in inventories ahead of the ban. Until Wa State resumes normal production, China smelting raw material supply is expected to gradually decrease, making it challenging to return to the production levels experienced in the first half of this year.
qr result should be out today or tomorrow. any dip is any opportunity to buy. tin future player kala kabut sikit, tapi sini kita main MSC, selamat sikit.
BEIJING - Prices of tin rose on Thursday after the International Tin Association confirmed a ban on mining by Myanmar's ethnic minority Wa militia from Aug. 1.
