Johannesburg.

South African resources group Iscor

Ltd. on Thursday reported a significant improvement in headline earnings for

the year ended June 30 2001, rising to 565 million rand from a low of 46

million rand the year before. This translated into headline earnings per share

of 216 cents from a previous 18 cents. However, Iscor said in view of the

uncertainty on the timing and extent of the recovery in steel prices from their

current historically low levels and the funding requirements of Saldanha Steel,

the board has decided not to declare a dividend.

 

 

 

Tokyo.

Japan's lower-duty copper import quotas under

the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) for fiscal year 2001-2002 are still

available for importers, more than four months into the fiscal year, because of

weaker demand for copper following the nation's continuing economic slowdown,

according to a government official and traders in Japan.

 

 

 

Tokyo.

The world's major copper foil producer Japan

Energy Corp. will cut its July-September copper foil production by about 40% on

year to about 6,200 tonnes, due to continued weak demand from the information

technology-related sectors across the world, Japan's local newspaper Nihon

Keizai Shimbun reported Thursday.

 

 

New York.

The Doe Run Company President and Chief

Executive Officer Jeffrey Zelms said that while times are tough for the metals

industry, "our projections are that we will succeed." Despite speculation the

lead producer could be close to declaring bankruptcy, Doe Run intends to make

its bi-annual debt payment in mid-September. Also, Zelms said Doe Run has no

further plans to cut production.

 

 

 

New York.

COMEX Sep copper futures remained in a

holding pattern Wednesday and nestled inside a 65.70-66.90 cents per pound

range throughout. The shape of trade followed closely that of the LME, where

three-month metal held up in a $1450-1475 per tonne range through the day, and

sources said activity was expected to stay stagnant through the rest of the

week.

 

 

 

New York.

AluminumInsight (www.aluminuminsight.com),

operated by James Southwood's Commodity Metals Management Co., Wednesday

slightly upped its spot U.S. Midwest spot premium to 4.00-4.50 cents per pound

over LME cash, from 3.75-4.50 cents per pound recently. Forward premiums were

also adjusted higher.

 

 

 

New York.

Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling announced late

Tuesday that he is resigning for "personal reasons" as head of the

Houston-based company but will stay on as part-time consultant for the firm.

 

 

 

Johannesburg.

South African copper producer

Palabora Mining Co Ltd (Palamin) said Wednesday it had postponed the closure of

its open-pit operations to April 2002. The company had announced in April that

it intended to cease these operations at the end of January 2002, thus

converting the company from an 80,000-ton per day open-pit mine to a

30,000-ton-per day underground mine.

 

 

 

Hong Kong.

All privately owned mines in Nandan in

southwestern China's Guangxi province have remained closed by an order of the

local government for restructuring/rectification, an official for the Nandan

government said. He said the Nandan government still did not have a timetable

to allow the mines to restart operations. The total annual mining output of the

privately owned mines are estimated at about 20,000 tonnes of tin.

 

 

 

Hong Kong.

Indonesia's PT Timah Tbk, the world's

largest tin producer, posted a net profit of 126.2 billion rupiah in

January-June, down 50% versus 250.1 billion rupiah the same period last year,

the company said Wednesday. Its January-June refined tin production rose 17% on

the year at 18,350 tonnes from 15,683 tonnes in the first half of 2000,

 

 

 

Hong Kong.

Australia's mining and metals firm

Pasminco Ltd. and a metals stockist in Hong Kong have jointly set up a zinc

alloy plant in China's eastern port city of Ningbo in Zhejiang province,

industry sources said. The plant started production in early August and has not

begun selling its zinc alloy in the domestic market, they said.

 

 

London.

George Daniels, formerly at London Metal

Exchange ring dealing member Barclays Capital, is to join the LME trading team

of Enron Metals. Daniels will start at Enron next week.

 

New York.

COMEX Dec gold settled down 70 cents at

$278.4 an ounce, shrugging off what normally would be the bullish influence of

a weaker dollar against major currencies after being capped by strong

resistance levels. Silver followed gold's move, while platinum and palladium

prices were lower again on Russian selling on the fixes.

 

London.

Spot gold continued its steady progress

higher in European trade Wednesday to reach an intraday and two-day high of

U.S. $277.00 per ounce. Spot gold continues to find support in European

trading, but as has been the case in recent days, many players are waiting for

the arrival of U.S. players. Platinum slumped to a 19-month low of $418.50 in

late Asian/early European trade as short selling drove the price down.

 

 

 

Shanghai.

China's central bank, the People's Bank of

China (PBOC) has set its purchasing price for above 99.99% purity gold at 72.45

yuan per gram for this week, up from 71.79 yuan per gram last week, according

to PBOC. It has fixed its selling price for above 99.99% purity gold at 73.89

yuan per gram for this week, up from 73.22 yuan per gram last week, it said.
