Chinalco Luoyang Copper Co., Ltd. is working on a 100ktpy high-precision copper plate, sheet and strip (PSS) project. According to a survey carried out by Antaike, the project is expected to start operations at the end of 2009. Upon completion of the project, the company will have 200ktpy copper PSS output capacity. In 2008 Luoyang Copper produced 70,000 tonnes of copper PSS and 20,000 tonnes of copper wirerod and copper tube.

Chinalco Luoyang Copper Co. Ltd., a Chinese high-precision copper plate and strip producer, plans to raise production by 18% y-o-y to 160,000-170,000t in 2011. The expected increase is the result of a capacity expansion through the completion of a 105,000t/y production line. Total capacity now amounts to 210,000t/y, however, production remains suppressed due to ongoing testing at the US$349M new plant in Luoyang City, Central Henan province. In 2010, Chinalco Luoyang Copper Co. Ltd.'s production was 140,000t of copper plate and strip.

Chinalco Luoyang Copper Co. Ltd., a leading Chinese semis fabricator, commenced production at its new metal clad sheet manufacturing facility in Luoyang City, Henan Province. The facility, which cost RMB150M, has the capacity to output 20,000t/y of metal clad sheet. Chinalco Luoyang Copper Co. Ltd. has three production lines: the first fabricates copper and copper alloy flat rolled products; the second fabricates copper and copper alloy tube, rod and bar; while the third is used for the manufacture of flat rolled products made from aluminium, magnesium and their alloys.

It was reported that Chinalco Luoyang Copper Co. Ltd. plans to boost production of copper semis in 2012. Output at the electronic copper strip plant is set to reach 55,000t this year. Overall, the company intends to produce 150,000t of nonferrous metal semis in 2012, up from 114,000t in 2011. Chinalco Luoyang Copper has a total nonferrous semis production capacity of 240,000t/y.

It was reported that Chinalco Luoyang Copper will soon complete its 100ktpy copper strip and plate project, which commenced in July 2007. Investment amounted to 2.3B yuan and it is expected that when commissioned it will realise 5.6B yuan of annual sales income. The company was founded in 1954 and has annual capacity of 120kt of non ferrous metals products and 50kt of refined copper.

The Chinese Henan Province has announced that it plans to invest in key regional projects. According to the plans, nine projects are related to the non-ferrous metals industry, two of which are copper semis plants. The first is a high precision electronic copper sheet and coil project of Chalco Luoyang Copper Co., Ltd. with annual capacity of 100,000 t. The second is a copper sheet and coil project of Henan Sanfeng Copper Co., Ltd. with annual capacity of 50,000 t.

On August 19th, Chinalco began work on its 300 ktpa copper semis facility in Kunming, Yunnan Province. The company's three existing processing sites, Chinalco Luoyang Copper, Chinalco Shanghai Copper and Chinalco Daye Copper Sheet & Strip, account for around 28% of China's total copper sheet and strip capacity, with a combined total of 130 ktpa, and 220 ktpa of expansions under construction. The new facility, with total investment of RMB2 billion, will comprise a 100 ktpa sheet and strip facility and a 200 ktpa wire and rod facility.
