SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to discontinue weekly FOB China Antimony Price

Platts is proposing to discontinue publication of the weekly FOB China Antimony Price (MMACZ00) by December 31, 2014. Preliminary market research shows that this price is no longer representative in the industry due to a lack of liquidity and market interest. Chinese exports have fallen on reduced demand and Chinese production has lowered significantly due to government regulations which limited mining and explorations. Should the discontinuation be finalized after further industry consultation, the final publication of this price will be on December 18, 2014. Please send all questions and feedback to alvin.yee@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com by September 1, 2014. For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing. Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
