Mungana Goldmines Limited announced that, as part of the North Queensland Mungana's Chillagoe project exploration agreement, Newcrest Mining has started exploration activities. Under the agreement, Newcrest will spend up to $ 20 million for a period of eight years of exploration, focus on exploration Chillagoe region of large gold - copper porphyry deposits. Newcrest's exploration program will Mungana in Chillagoe, including strategic King Vol deposit development of high-grade zinc and base metals assets simultaneously.

Black Rock Mining Ltd announced its latest project Mahenge graphite exploration activities in Tanzania. Since the 11 months before the start of exploration in Mahenge, the company mobilized two rigs and the largest field operations team. Exploration found 186 meters from the graphite content of 5.95 percent total, including two high-grade zone, 24 meters at 7.89% content and 86 meters at the content of 8.34 percent.

Vital Metals Ltd announced that due to positive correction final feasibility study, lower capital, operating cost reduction and a favorable exchange rate variation support, making 70% of its stake in North Queensland Watershed tungsten project further boost. In addition, the main tungsten market demand, China, India and the United States is entering an important stage of consumption.

Although Luomu announced the establishment of a special fund tungsten business of purchasing and storage, but it is understood Luomu recently still sold tungsten products, market participants suspect that the purchasing and storage may be more slowly store their produce tungsten ore, and not out 3 billion to put into the tungsten market, and therefore the current market downturn, the move Luo molybdenum or tungsten price less affected ore prices continued at low levels.

Macro, June CPI data released today, rose 10 consecutive months, or less than 2%; second quarter report showed consumer confidence optimistic stable, up 9.1 upgrade; Greek debt negotiations weekend and then meet the deadline.

The construction of complex tungsten collimators with a high number of pinholes or loft holes becomes very expensive with the current available techniques (drilling, milling or electric discharge machining). All these techniques are subtractive techniques; the process starts with a solid plate and the holes are made by removing material. The main factor determining the cost is the production time and the amount of required material. The production time is related to the amount of holes and the complexity of the holes. Other materials like gold or platinum that are easier to machine are very expensive, alternative techniques like cold casting with tungsten epoxy result in a lower density (close to lead, 11g/cm^3). This results in transmission of high energy peaks in the emission spectrum through the plate and to a relative high amount of pinhole edge penetration. The new technique called novel technique has been found for collimator construction, called metal additive manufacturing. The collimator is build up in layers using selective laser melting of tungsten powders.

Methods: A collimator design with 20 loft holes with 0.5 mm pinhole opening was designed in CAD software and the resulting STL file was sent to the rapid prototyping company. Within 2 weeks the collimator (16 mm thick and 48x48 mm transverse size) was produced. The density of the collimator was determined by determining the volume (in the CAD program) and measuring the weight. The collimator was attached to a compact high resolution Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography detector (SPECT detector) and a point source has been measured.

Results: The predicted accuracy of this rapid prototyping technique is +/- 50 micron. The density of the material is 16.9g/cm^3. A point source located 2cm in front of the collimator is seen by all apertures. Metal additive manufacturing allows fast prototype collimator design of very complex shapes. The density is close to tungsten (87%). The cost of this technique is only related to the amount of material needed.

Luo molybdenum announcement that the proposed scale of not more than 3 billion yuan to set up a tungsten business Shouchu special fund be used for tungsten concentrate price commercial purchasing and storage, purchasing and storage is expected to total no more than 46,000 tons, accounting for the total domestic tungsten concentrate yield 1/3. This means that the industry's first commercial support for purchasing and storage fund was established specifically tungsten, tungsten price downturn is expected to inject a shot in the arm.

Tungsten price in the doldrums, more cost-effective mine Shouchu previous close. By the downstream demand downturn, tungsten prices continued downward, currently wolframite (65%) of the price is only 79,000 yuan / ton. Most of the tungsten ore into the loss, the equivalent of a low cost of purchasing and storage enterprises business acquisitions tungsten resources, help strengthen the domestic tungsten resources industry pricing, while countries also support domestic resources for strategic purchasing and storage business in order to stabilize prices.

Tungsten market: Luomu ≤30 billion yuan to set up self-financing tungsten business Shouchu a special fund intended to tungsten concentrate mainly on tungsten raw product prices in the vicinity of existing commercial reserve, is expected to total purchasing and storage no more than 46,000 tons (equivalent to standard tungsten concentrate). Luomu this initiative or to some extent on the tungsten concentrate prices stabilized, difficult to pull back in the short term ore price upward.

Molybdenum market: the whole molybdenum market kept falling, the actual pressure mine huge molybdenum mine is currently facing serious overcapacity of production, far less than the actual demand and oversupply has not changed. Facing distress situation, mining companies can continue to lower prices to survive, the latter mine cut-off phenomenon will be further expanded. Bidding steel prices hit record lows, ferromolybdenum market lacks support. Molybdenum oxide, molybdenum products are also difficult. Short-term difficult to see the dawn of the molybdenum market.

Macro, implicated by the Greek debt crisis, global commodity and financial market crash; the central bank recapture liquidity, lower interest rates across the board; Commerce Department: the new FTA absorb foreign capital accumulation effect is obvious.

The first rare earth import and export trade forum of China will be held in Shanghai from July 30 to July 31, 2015. The forum set "Internet，rare earth，financial" as its theme. It is supported by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, the Economic and Information Commission of Shanghai. Moreover, it gains a lot of attention from in and aboard.

China is a big country in rare earth production, but it is in a very weak position in rare earth pricing for a long time. It is anticipated that price of rare earth in batch should be placed based on the pricing policy by the Exchange. However, if it needs to become true, then rare earth finance is required badly. It is reported that the Shanghai Futures Exchange is also exploring the possibility of rare earth futures market. From the momentum of development, rare earth finance will be long-term development trend of rare earth industry. As the international financial important component, also the rare earth import and export trade important port, if Shanghai accomplishes rare earth finance and establishes the international rare earth trading center, it may also be a very good choice. It is creditable that this forum will play a good role in accomplishing rare earth finance.
