Zinc has a great future

Zinc has a great future

Demand for zinc strip is expected to decline 0.3 percent to 12.71 million tons, but increase 3.8 percent to 13.19 million tons in 2013. Global refined zinc strip supply is expected to be in surplus this year, while production of zinc strip is expected to decline 2 percent to 12.86 million tons. Zinc sheet production is expected to fall 5.2%, the first decline in 23 years, zinc sheet demand and supply slowed, galvanized sheet industry as a whole to September utilization rate of 78.47, zinc sheet slightly increased from August, but failed to meet expectations of 80%.

Zinc foil metallogenic epoch from the archean to the Cenozoic, lead-zinc mine in Paleozoic of resources is rich, the zinc foil continued low, but due to late most of the research enterprise does not think the market will rebound sharply, has made in Marine or terrestrial facies sandstone and conglomerate in the lead-zinc mine, combined with the fund pressure, most companies still maintain on-demand procurement, In the future, the production capacity of zinc foil will continue to increase by 500,000 tons to reach 1.45 million tons, and there is not much raw material inventory.

China abounds in zinc foil, as the world economy recovery, non-ferrous metal prices to rise further, the enterprise will also further bid for the mining right, zinc ore resources are rich, are more than 6 million tons, zinc is also knew mankind since ancient times one of the compound element, single zinc zinc in less, zinc ore resources mainly lead-zinc mine, The total reserves of lead are 35.72 million tons, ranking fourth in the world, and the prospect of zinc production is broad.
