Currently, alumina enterprises are engaging in a game over the import ore prices, especially in the second quarter, hoping to reduce costs to alleviate the losses incurred in recent periods. Recently, during a field trip to Shanxi, it was found that some enterprises with tunnel mining operations have been in a state of suspension from the beginning of the year, waiting for relatively relaxed policy requirements before resuming production. Currently, only large enterprises such as Zhong Aluminum in the Jin and Yu regions are operating, and after ensuring mining conditions meet requirements and strengthening supervision, domestic ore supply has seen a subtle increase.
