- With the support and trust of companies in nickel industry, Asian Metal has successfully organized World Nickel Industrial Chain Summit 2012 on April 25-27 in Taiyuan Shanxi, China . About 100 delegates both at home and abroad attended the event.
- The forum began at 8:30 in the morning of 26th April. Firstly, the emcee, Penny Wei delivered the opening speech of Mr. Gao Xingtong, Manger of Base Metal Department of Asian Metal for the forum.
- Secondly, Hu Mingyang, the consultant of China Special Steel Enterprises Association, discussed Special Steel (Stainless Steel, High Temperature Alloy) and Nickel Industrial Chain Analysis. Mr. Hu talked the current developments of nickel industry and stainless steel industry in Twelfth Five-Year Plan of Steel Industry. The report illustrated nickel with the property of special steel, National policy towards the development of special steel, Twelfth Five-Year Plan of Steel Industry for special steel and so on. At last, Mr. Hu pointed out that as a key sector of strategic new industry and a high-end type of deep blending in new science and technology, high grade stainless steel has strategic prospect.
- Mr. James Luke, Commodities Analyst of China International Capital Corporation Limited gave a report on “Global Nickel Market Outlook”. He analyzed Macro Economy, the supply and demand of nickel market and prospected the development of future nickel market. The report indicates European Economic; America Economic; and Chinese Economic. He reported that nickel supply: oversupply suggests NPI growth needs to be dis-incentivised. Furthermore, their view is loosening measures will drive incremental China improvement but very aggressive measures unlikely (unless growth significantly disappoints).
- Mr. Michael T. Defensor, Director of Nihao Mineral Resources International expounded the Philippine Nickel Industry. The report explained Philippine nickel satuation; Tenements & Licenses of Philippine; Exploration Permit; Mineral Agreements in Philippine. Furthermore, he introduce Nihao Mineral Resources International, which have Multiple Mine Sites, and provided Vast Mineral Resources and High Iron Nickel Ore. They want to find cooperator in China.
- Mr. Cai Zhengyang, the principal of Zhenshi Holding Group Nickel Mine Project, gave a speech on “Development of Chinese Nickel Market and Solutions for Indonesian Nickel Ore Smelting”. The report introduced the procurement pattern of Chinese mainstream stainless steel plants for ferronickel; analysis on ferronickel and nickel ore and Indonesia ferronickel smelting programmer choice. The reported guided Chinese investors building smelting of ferronickel in Indonesia
- Dr. Guo Peimin, Professor level senior engineer in Chinese steel grinds technical group; Doctoral supervisor; Low temperature metallurgy and resources highly effective use center director made a report on “The New Technology of Smelt Ferronickel by Lateritic Nickel Ore”. The report introduced lateritic nickel ore smelting industry is facing two major problems: 1 Policy on lateritic nickel ore; 2 Shortage of quality resource. The report introduced Rotary kiln +electrical arc furnace smelting; Sintering + blast furnace; Non-blast furnace iron making methods; Firing & submerged arc furnace smelting method; New process of low temperature deoxidization in ferronickel smelting.
- In the afternoon, Mr. Yao Yuxi, engineer of Outotec Shanghai Metallurgical Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. made a report on “Outotec's Nickel Smelting Technology”. He noted that Outotec’s technology on Nickel Smelting and Ferronickel Smelting and analysis nickel market development.
- Mr. Song Rongwei, General Manager of Zhanhua County Weiye Nickel Co., gave a report on “Analysis on Ferronickel Smelt Technology by Using Submergend Arc Furnace”. Shandong Zhanhua Weiye Nickel, founded on Jan 12, 2008 with RMB200 million of registered capital, is attached to Zhanhua Weiye New Energy Group Co., Ltd. The new project, with RMB870 million of total investment, includes 12 ore-smelting electric furnaces installation, annual ferronickel production capacity at 300,000tpy. So far, there have been 8 furnaces under normal production and the 4 furnaces are expected to put into production before November, 2012. The project will be the largest high-grade ferronickel production base in China with RMB6.75 billion and RMB1.48 billion of annual production value and tax revenue. At present, monthly output of quality high-grade ferronickel (Ni: 11%min; P: 0.035%max; S: 0.3%max) is around 12,000t. Afterwards, Mr. Song shared his ferronickel smelting experience and analysis ferronickel market situation.
- Mr. Liu Libin R & D director of Green Futures gave a report on “Nickel Manufacture Hedge Stragety”. The report introduced the important of hedging and how to hedge. At last, Mr. Liu talked the Green Futures superiority in hedge.
- Mr. Teuku Badruddin Syah, CEO of PT kimco citra mandiri Indonesia made a report on “Analysis on Indonesia Lateritic Nickel Ore Export Policy and Demand & Supply”. The reported introduced KIMCO Group, and CURRENT CONDITION of lateiticn ickel ore export in Indonesia. Mr. Teuku Badruddin Syah analyzed regulation of the minister of energy and mineral resources of increasing value-added minerals through mineral processing and refining activities and talked about the export ban policy of Indonesia. At last, they invite investors to invest in Sulawesi as our partner investment to build a smelter plant.
- At last, Mr. Liu Yanlong, the Secretary General of China's Chemical and Physical Power Supply Industry Association analyzed the Current Situation and Development Tendency of Ni-MH Battery, and he introduced that general situation of Chinese battery industry in 2010, current state of world nickel-metal hydride battery market development and future trends of nickel-metal hydride battery market. He believed that NI-MH is intensely needed in sectors as cleaner, medical devices, emergency warning system, rail transit and electrical tools.
- All reporters fully expressed their views with great passion, which aroused active response of participants. The forum successfully closed with the support from all representatives.
- Asian Metal has held forums and summit of minor metals and rare metals for many times successfully with the great support from domestic and overseas companies. We hereby would like to express the sincerest thanks. Asian Metal will persist on making new glories and achievements with great professionalism and high passion.
