(SMM), SMM Metal Exchange Center, and Shandong Aisi Information Technology Co., Ltd., and co-organized by Zhongyifeng Jinyi (Suzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. and Lezhi County Qianrun Investment Promotion Service Co., Ltd., Luo Yu, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Lezhi County People's Government Committee and Deputy County Magistrate, shared the planning and development of Lezhi County's aluminum industry. Where is Lezhi? The First Stop East of Chengdu · The Golden Section Point of Chengdu-Chongqing ► County Overview Lezhi County is located in the central part of the Chengdu-Chongqing region and is the hometown of Marshal Chen Yi, a founding father of the People's Republic of China. ►Location: Gateway to Chengdu's Eastward Expansion, Hub Connecting Chengdu and Chongqing In terms of location, Lezhi's relationship with Chengdu and Chongqing is similar to Kunshan's with Shanghai and Suzhou, or Dongguan's with Guangdong and Shenzhen. ► Position: Driving High-Quality Integrated Development in the Central Chengdu-Chongqing Region ►Position: A Place Where Multiple National and Provincial Strategies Overlap Lezhi is located at the golden section point of the straight-line distance between Chengdu and Chongqing, and is at the intersection of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin-City Economic Circle, the Chengdu Metropolitan Area, and the Chengdu Plain Economic Zone, known as the "three-circle overlap." ►Transportation Advantages: A Three-Dimensional Transportation Network Integrating Highways, Railways, and Air Travel Highways: Railways: Lezhi is the only county-level city in China where two high-speed railways with a designed speed of 350 km/h intersect and share a station in a crossover configuration. Aviation: Distances from Lezhi County to nearby airports: 50 km to Tianfu International Airport, 105 km to Shuangliu International Airport, 169 km to Jiangbei International Airport, and 138 km to the newly planned Bishan International Airport. It is at an important node of the main corridor connecting the international airports of Chengdu and Chongqing, offering convenient direct flights nationwide and global connectivity. ►Surrounding Industrial Landscape What does Lezhi do? Concentrating the county's efforts on developing the aluminum-based materials industry ►Focusing on the Development of the Aluminum-Based Materials Industry The overall scale of the domestic aluminum semis market is expanding, with sustained growth in market demand. From a national perspective: In 2024, China's aluminum semis production reached 67.831 million mt, showing continuous growth over the past five years. From a provincial perspective: In 2024, Sichuan Province's aluminum semis production reached 2.5105 million mt, up 20.5% YoY, ranking 9th nationwide. From a demand perspective: The proportion of industrial aluminum extrusion continues to rise, with production reaching 11.49 million mt in 2024, accounting for approximately 44%. The Sichuan and Chongqing region is a key aluminum production area and aluminum processing production site in China. The processed products mainly include aluminum extrusions, aluminum plate/sheet and strip, aluminum rods and wires, and aluminum castings. Benefiting from a relatively complete industrial system, the region also boasts strong end-use consumption capacity for aluminum. However, compared to the capacity and production of aluminum processing, the capacity and production of aluminum in the Sichuan and Chongqing region are insufficient. Taking 2023 as a reference, the region's aluminum processing production was approximately 4.09 million mt, accounting for 8.7% of the national total, while the total aluminum production was only about 1.5 million mt, accounting for 3.53% of the domestic total, making it a net aluminum-importing region. In February 2023, Sichuan and Chongqing jointly formulated and issued the "Work Plan for the Collaborative Development of the Sichuan-Chongqing Aluminum Industry Chain." The plan proposes that by 2025, the output value of the Sichuan-Chongqing aluminum industry should reach 400 billion yuan, a group of leading enterprises and specialized and innovative enterprises should be cultivated, and a top-tier high-end aluminum material manufacturing base in the country should be established, aiming to create the strongest high-end aluminum material manufacturing base nationwide. The two regions will jointly promote the supporting of the industry chain, facilitate green and low-carbon development, build an industrial service system, and collaborate in seven aspects to form an "internal circulation" of aluminum industry enterprises in Sichuan and Chongqing, promoting the coordinated and rapid development of the aluminum industry in the region. In terms of market demand, the Sichuan and Chongqing regions regard the development of the aluminum industry as an important support for building two trillion-yuan industrial clusters in electronic information and automotive industries. ♦Automotive Industry •In recent years, 45 well-known automobile manufacturers, including FAW, Toyota, Changan, Great Wall Motors, Seres, Hyundai, and Lifan, have established operations in Sichuan and Chongqing. •In 2024, the annual automobile production in Sichuan and Chongqing reached 3.43 million units, up 4.1% YoY, accounting for 10.9% of the national total, with an output value exceeding 600 billion yuan. •The automobile ownership in Chengdu and Chongqing both exceeded 6 million units, ranking first and third in the country, respectively. This indicates a robust demand for lightweight aluminum extrusions and other parts in the automotive industry in Sichuan and Chongqing. ♦3C Electronics Industry •As one of the world's largest electronic information manufacturing clusters, the Chengdu-Chongqing region has gathered a large number of upstream and downstream enterprises in the electronic information industry chain. In 2023, the cluster's over 2,000 enterprises above designated size achieved a revenue of 17.1 trillion yuan, accounting for 11.3% of the national total. Two-thirds of the world's iPads, 50% of laptops, 10% of smartphones, and 15% of smart projectors are manufactured in the Chengdu-Chongqing region. This demonstrates that the rapid development of the 3C electronics industry inevitably leads to a huge demand for aluminum heat sinks, aluminum frames, and casings. On July 19, 2024, Lezhi County held the Eighth Plenary Session of the 15th County Party Committee, clarifying that it would rely on the rapidly growing market prospects of NEVs and consumer electronics to focus on developing lightweight aluminum extrusions for automobiles and aluminum extrusion components for 3C electronics, forming automotive parts and electronic information industry clusters, and building a distinctive aluminum-based material industry hub in central Sichuan and Chongqing. ► Fen'an Aluminum's Southwest Base Top 5 Aluminum Extrusion Manufacturers in China Top 10 Leading Aluminum Extrusion Brands in China Top 20 Industrial Aluminum Extrusion Manufacturers in China China Manufacturing Champion Enterprise One of the Largest Aluminum Extrusion Product R&D and Manufacturing Enterprises in China 110 patents, including 46 invention patents The Lezhi Base has an annual production capacity of 200,000 mt of new-type high-end aluminum alloy extrusions Representative Products: What Does Lezhi Offer?

Contact Information: General Manager: Panhu Zhao Email: zykjtiger@126.com Product Introduction: Dry Powder Electromagnetic Iron Remover Working Principle Process: 1. Magnetic Field Generation and Material Separation - After the electromagnetic coil is energized, a high-gradient magnetic field is generated, and the magnetic medium amplifies the magnetic field strength to the working range; - When the powder material flows vertically through the material cylinder, magnetic impurities are adsorbed on the surface of the medium, and non-magnetic substances pass through smoothly. 2. Automatic Slag Discharge - Adsorption stage: The PLC controls the material valve to maintain the "iron removal mode," and the material continuously passes through the separation area; - Slag discharge stage: The magnetic field is turned off instantly (demagnetization is completed in 0.1 seconds), the vibration motor starts to remove residual magnetic substances, and the material valve switches to the "slag discharge channel" to discharge impurities. 3. Cooling and Stability Assurance - Internal circulating oil cooling system: Ensures the coil temperature rise ≤15℃, promising a service life of over 10 years. Technical Advantages: 1. High-Efficiency Separation Performance - 22-layer magnetic medium stacking design, increasing the probability of magnetic substance capture by 5-10%, and the single-machine working efficiency is 20-25% higher than that of similar equipment in the market. 2. Maintenance Cost Optimization - Standardized spare parts and hoisting arm design: The medium module replacement efficiency is increased by 30%, and the annual spare parts cost is reduced by 50-70%; - Welding-free fixing process: Avoids the easy damage of traditional threaded structures and extends the medium's life. 3. Intelligent Control - Supports shift quota shutdown, multi-level operation authority management, and adapts to the lean production needs of enterprises. Slurry Electromagnetic Iron Remover Features: Special cooling system oil circuit internal circulation design ensures the heat dissipation of the electromagnetic coil, preventing local overheating damage. Under the condition of ensuring normal cooling water circulation and regular maintenance, our company promises that the service life of the electromagnetic coil can be guaranteed for over 10 years; The control system adopts a constant current design for the electromagnetic coil excitation (PLC automatic voltage regulation), which does not require manual adjustment due to the decrease in the magnetic field caused by the increase in coil temperature; The material channel can be treated with PTFE/ETFE spraying to reduce the risk of introducing magnetic impurities; The automatic slag discharge system pipeline adopts high-performance ball valves to reduce the risk of later failures; It can achieve a large flow design (300 m³/hour) and ultra-high air-core field strength design (air-core field strength 10,000 Gauss, working field strength 40,000 Gauss); The electrical control cabinet is operated by a touch screen (HMI human-machine interface), which is convenient for operation, and the dynamic display content can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time. Detailed alarm prompt information ensures that equipment fault information is fed back to the operator in the first time. Automatic Cleaning Permanent Magnet Iron Remover (Pneumatic Scraper Type): This equipment uses PTFE and polymer two scrapers to mimic manual wiping of magnetic substances adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic rod; Compared with traditional drawer-type permanent magnet iron removers, the time for cleaning magnetic substances each time is shortened to 10-15 seconds. When the solenoid valve is energized, the cylinder pushes and pulls the drawer magnetic rod to complete the cleaning of magnetic substances; It is suitable for high-altitude installation. When manually cleaning, the solenoid valve control switch is installed on the ground, and the control switch can be operated during cleaning; If the specially designed PLC electrical control box of our company is selected, it can achieve unattended automatic demagnetization on the production line, and the demagnetization time can be set according to the process requirements. Rotating Self-Cleaning Permanent Magnet Iron Remover: Compared with drawer-type permanent magnet iron removers, the rotating iron remover is more suitable for sticky or poorly flowing materials that are prone to caking, bridging, and clogging; Since the magnetic rod is in a rotating state during the material falling process, magnetic impurities can more fully contact the magnetic rod, improving the demagnetization efficiency; This equipment is particularly suitable for high-altitude installation, where manual cleaning is difficult to reach. The solenoid valve control switch can be installed on the ground, and the control switch can be operated during cleaning; If the specially designed PLC electrical control box of our company is selected, it can achieve unattended automatic demagnetization on the production line, and the demagnetization time can be set according to the process requirements. Semi-Automatic Pipeline Iron Remover: The slurry material flows in from the bottom inlet, passes through four pipes with magnetic rods in sequence. When the material passes through the magnetic rods, magnetic substances are adsorbed onto the magnetic rods, and non-magnetic substances pass through the pipes and flow out from the outlet, entering the next process to achieve the demagnetization effect. When the adsorption capacity of the magnetic rods reaches saturation, the inlet is closed, and the outlet is also closed. Then, the discharge port at the bottom of the equipment is opened to discharge the slurry retained in the pipes into the equipped receiving bucket. When the pressure gauge on the pipe shows zero pressure, the discharge port is closed, and the manual control valve is opened to lift the magnetic system to the cleaning height. At this time, the magnetic substances adsorbed on the magnetic rods can be manually cleaned into the equipped scrap tray. After cleaning, the manual control valve is closed, the magnetic system returns to the working position, and the inlet and outlet are opened at the same time, and the equipment operates normally. Fully Automatic Cleaning Pipeline Demagnetization Cart: The slurry material flows in from the bottom inlet, passes through the pipes with magnetic rods in sequence. When the material passes through the magnetic rods, magnetic substances are adsorbed onto the magnetic rods, and non-magnetic substances pass through the pipes and flow out from the outlet, entering the next process to achieve the demagnetization effect. Efficient Demagnetization: Through the built-in powerful magnetic force, it can efficiently adsorb and remove magnetic impurities in the slurry, ensuring the purity and quality of the slurry; Flexible Mobility: The demagnetization cart has flexible mobility and can be moved and positioned on the production line as needed, adapting to different working environments and production needs.

[SMM Analysis: 2024 Copper Scrap Review: Secondary Copper Raw Material Will Be One of the Best Ways for Smelters to Supplement Raw Materials] In 2024, copper prices experienced significant fluctuations, and the prices of secondary copper raw material also showed a trend of rising first, then pulling back, followed by a slight rebound. In Q1, copper prices continued the stable trend of 2023. By Q2, due to factors such as tight overseas copper ore supply, sanctions on Russian copper and aluminum, and macro events like US dollar copper border warehouses, copper prices surged, reaching a historical high of 88,940 yuan/mt. However, as market speculation sentiment faded, copper prices pulled back significantly in Q3. Starting in August, driven by market expectations of a US Fed interest rate cut, copper prices bottomed out and rebounded. In Q4 .....

》View SMM Metal Quotes, Data, and Market Analysis 》Subscribe to View Historical Spot Price Trends of SMM Metals On the macroeconomic front, this week coincided with the Christmas holiday, leaving only two overseas trading days, and macro news remained quiet. The US dollar index fluctuated at high levels above 108 during the week, exerting continuous pressure on copper prices. The potential risk of a renewed trade war under Trump’s administration, particularly the possibility of imposing more tariffs on China, became a market focus. Tariff barriers may further weaken copper demand in 2025. In Japan, the Bank of Japan stated that although inflation has rebounded, considering the economic recovery is not yet fully stable, the current monetary policy remains unchanged. According to Goldman Sachs' "2025 China Macroeconomic Outlook," under the baseline scenario, the US tariff increase policy on China is expected to significantly drag down China's economic growth in 2025, with export growth likely to slow sharply. Supporting domestic demand and investment-driven internal circulation will become a key focus of China's macroeconomic policy in 2025. LME copper fluctuated rangebound this week near $8,950-9,050/mt; SHFE copper fluctuated between 73,500-74,500 yuan/mt, with the overall price center slightly moving upward. On the fundamentals, copper concentrate TCs continued to decline this week. Concerns over tight copper scrap supply in 2025 prompted domestic smelters to actively seek raw materials, accelerating negotiations with mines. For copper cathode, long-term contracts in foreign trade were gradually finalized this week. Affected by tight raw material supply sentiment, market expectations for a balanced copper cathode supply in 2025 shifted. Premiums for US dollar-denominated copper surged, with January arrivals actively traded, and spot cargoes were unusually popular during the holiday. In the domestic market, under the pressure of year-end payment settlements, companies across the supply chain were reluctant to hold excessive inventory, triggering a wave of low-price sales, and market premiums shifted from positive to negative. Looking ahead to next week, with limited macro news during the transition between the old and new years, fundamentals are expected to provide upward momentum for copper prices. LME copper is expected to fluctuate between $9,050-9,200/mt, while SHFE copper is expected to range from 74,000-75,000 yuan/mt. In the spot market, market demand is expected to remain subdued before year-end settlements, but demand is likely to improve after the new year as suppliers rebuild inventories and long-term contracts resume execution. Spot prices against the SHFE copper 2501 contract are expected to range from a discount of 80 yuan/mt to a premium of 50 yuan/mt. The model predicts that the average price of SMM #1 copper cathode from this Friday to next Thursday (2025-01-02) will range between [72,500, 74,930], with a price center of 73,850 yuan/mt. The extreme price range is [71,210, 76,220], the normal price range is [72,070, 75,360], and the conservative price range is [72,930, 74,500]. Next week's price trend is expected to fluctuate upward. The support range is [72,070, 72,930], and the resistance range is [74,500, 75,360]. 》View SMM Metal Industry Chain Database
