Phosphate market softened in Q2 backed by growing supply from China and North Africa ■
Ammonium phosphate fertilizer price ~US$357/t (Avg. Tampa FOB) and Ammonia price averaged ~US$ 316/t (Avg. ME FOB)
■
Q2 Phosphate demand was low in India in Q2 mainly due to a new tax scheme (GST) and flat in South America
■
On the supply side, China and Oceania local markets are out of season and have capacity for more exports. OCP’s new project (JPH-3: ~1 million tonne) is ramping up
■
In Q2, Phosphate producers benefitted from weaker raw material costs (Ammonia, Sulphur and Phosphoric Acid)
■
Additional supplies expected in H2 2017 from MWSPC and Morocco which may exert further pressure on prices

Gold firm and copper is sustaining its recovery ■
Gold prices averaged US$1,263 / ounce similar to Q2 2016; Copper prices increased by 24% in Q2 2017 averaging US$ 5,754 / tonne
■
World economic growth forecast, particularly Chinese structural reforms remain on track supporting the price outlook
■
Production disruption at world’s three largest copper mines helped to support copper prices, despite financial market weakness and industrial metals sell-off. Copper prices are expected to be driven by sustainability of Chinese demand into the second half of 2017 and US infrastructure spending

During the second quarter, our aluminium cash cost decreased significantly, by decreased fixed costs through strong cost control measures, reduction in some raw material consumption, and notably lower cost of alumina

However, we see some headwinds with the prices of key inputs such as caustic soda and coke prices increasing

Gold and Copper performance Operational performance
Gold (‘000 ounces) Production
■
■
During the quarter, Ma’aden’s production of gold increased by 17% to 70,000 ounces compared to the same quarter last year, this was mainly due to increased volumes from Ad Duwayhi mine
During the quarter, we produced 10,600 tonnes and sold 10,700 tonnes of copper concentrate from the Jabal Sayid copper mine, which is operating well to reach its rated capacity
74 72 70 68 66 64 62 60 58 56 54

■
Continued focus on costs helped Ma’aden to maintain its overall annual gold cash cost objectives. Although some throughput issues during the quarter impacted production which in turn translated to an increase in cash cost.
Jabal Sayid’s continued focus on cost has helped Jabal Sayid to reduce its C1 cash cost by almost 30% compared to the same quarter last year due to increased volumes and better efficiencies.
