The production scale is 10 million mt/year, with a validity period from March 4, 2025, to March 4, 2055. The announcement revealed that Wutai Yunhai Magnesium Industry Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the company, participated in the auction for the "Mining Right of Dolomite Mine in Dapu Village, Dongzhi Town, Wutai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province" conducted by Xinzhou Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau to ensure a stable supply of raw materials for primary magnesium and magnesium alloy production, and successfully won the mining right at a price of 1.168 billion yuan on November 3, 2023. Given that Baowu Magnesium has not yet released information on its 2024 corporate performance, a review of its Q3 report shows that in the first three quarters, the company achieved operating revenue of 6.347 billion yuan, up 14.09% YoY; net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 154 million yuan, down 25.88% YoY. During the reporting period, Baowu Magnesium's basic earnings per share was 0.155 yuan, with a weighted average return on net assets of 2.88%. Baowu Magnesium's Q3 report indicates that the increase in operating revenue was mainly due to higher sales of deep-processed products compared to the same period last year. Regarding the decrease in net profit, Baowu Magnesium stated that it was due to a decline in magnesium prices and a decrease in the gross profit margin of magnesium alloy products. Magnesium prices experienced multiple rounds of increases last week. In addition to the effective alleviation of magnesium ingot supply issues due to factory rectifications, which restored market confidence, there was also an increase in foreign trade container freight rates, further stimulating downstream demand. Domestic downstream restocking followed suit, and market trading volume continued to improve, driving magnesium prices higher. 》Click to view SMM magnesium spot prices 》Subscribe to view historical price trends of SMM metal spot prices According to SMM quotes, on March 17, SMM magnesium ingot 9990 (Fugu, Shenmu) was quoted at 15,550-15,650 yuan/mt, with an average price of 15,600 yuan/mt. This average price fell by 50 yuan/mt from the previous trading day and rose by 550 yuan/mt from the early low of 15,050 yuan/mt on March 7, representing a 3.65% increase. SMM analysis suggests that, based on current market performance, as inventory in the main production areas continues to destock, bearish sentiment in the magnesium market has been alleviated. However, considering the general acceptance of high prices by downstream buyers, there is limited support for magnesium prices to fluctuate at highs in the future. SMM will continue to monitor changes in spot transactions.
