BHP在截至 2025年 6月底的財報，利潤出現顯著下滑，創下五年來最差的業績。除了BHP的財報外，還有哪些跡象表明全球經濟面臨挑戰？* 國際能源署預計2026年能源（石油與天然氣）價格將大幅下跌。* OPEC（石油輸出國組織）成員國對於是否減產無法達成共識，因為並非所有成員國都像沙烏地阿拉伯（Saudi Arabia）那樣有足夠的儲備來應對收入減少。* 金屬（如鎳和鐵礦石）的價格下跌，部分原因是產能過剩和需求下降。澳洲礦產資源與地緣政治澳洲是個資源大國，擁有豐富的礦產，包括鐵礦石、銅、煤炭（尤其是高品質的煉焦煤）、稀土和鋁礦。* 澳洲在開採技術上全球領先。* BHP等公司不僅在澳洲本地開採，也進行全球化經營，例如在智利（Chile）開採銅礦。* 這些礦業公司是澳洲政府最大的企業所得稅繳納者，因此政府有動機協助他們拓展海外市場。澳洲處於一個特殊位置。雖然它是美國的盟友，但美國也開始推行「內循環」（isolationism）的政策。與此同時，澳洲又需要與最大的礦產買家（中國）維持良好關係，以確保其資源出口。 This is a public episode.

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we trace a global shift in hydrogen strategy—one that goes beyond net-zero headlines and dives into the new security, jobs, and supply chain realities shaping the sector.

Heavy industry runs on complex systems and distributed assets, but frontline workers are often still armed with paper manuals and radios. It works, but yields an unacceptably high level of inconsistencies, safety incidents, and productivity bottlenecks. And as experienced workers retire, critical knowledge about systems, assets, and good practice disappears. The shift to digital work execution is now both viable and urgent. Smartphones are everywhere. AI is mainstream. And yet many organizations still struggle to digitize even basic workflows. In this episode, Liam Scanlan, co-founder and managing director of HINDSITE, reveals how his technology is addressing this challenge head-on. HINDSITE equips frontline workers with just-in-time digital instructions, visual training, and live process documentation. Companies that leverage this technology report fewer errors, faster onboarding, improved safety, and lower costs. Whether it's inline inspections, sensor maintenance, or tire bay procedures, HINDSITE brings consistency and governance to the last mile of industrial work.

Interview with Chris Stevens, CEO of Coda Minerals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/coda-minerals-asxcod-copper-cobalt-project-demonstrates-robust-economics-7009Recording date: 8th July 2025Coda Minerals Limited (ASX:COD) represents a compelling investment opportunity in the rapidly strengthening copper market, positioned at the critical intersection of technical innovation, proven management execution, and exceptional infrastructure advantages. The Perth-based company has achieved a transformational metallurgical breakthrough at its Elizabeth Creek copper-cobalt-silver project in South Australia, fundamentally altering the project's economics and development pathway.The company's most significant achievement is the successful development of an ammonium chloride whole ore leaching process that delivers recovery rates exceeding 95%, representing a dramatic improvement from the previous 55% recovery rates at the Windabout deposit. CEO Chris Stevens characterizes this advancement as "effectively free money," highlighting the direct revenue enhancement potential over the mine's life. This breakthrough eliminates a major technical risk while opening possibilities for smaller-scale startup operations with reduced capital requirements and earlier cash flow generation.Elizabeth Creek's robust project economics align closely with recently acquired Australian copper companies, delivering an $802 million NPV post-tax with a 35% IRR based on over one million tons of contained copper equivalent in JORC indicated resources. Critically, 93% of resources are classified as indicated, providing exceptional geological confidence rarely seen at this development stage. These economics become particularly compelling when viewed against recent takeover activity, with Rex Minerals acquired for $393 million, New World Resources subject to competing bids exceeding $230 million, and Xanadu Mines accepting a $160 million offer.Stevens emphasizes the validation from peer transactions: "There is now empirical evidence that companies that are able to do that with credible solid projects with comparable MPVs, comparable IRRs, comparable capexes are being valued over $200 million." This peer group comparison suggests significant value realization potential as Coda advances through its 12-month Pre-Feasibility Study timeline.The company's management team brings proven execution capability, having previously developed 17 projects and transformed Elizabeth Creek from two open pits to five times the original resource base. Stevens notes: "This is a team that has taken, frankly, a bit of a busted project with two open pits, turned it into five times the resources." The team's disciplined approach to capital allocation and project advancement provides confidence in their ability to deliver on development milestones.Elizabeth Creek benefits from exceptional infrastructure advantages that distinguish it from typical remote Australian developments. Located adjacent to BHP's established haulage road with contractual usage rights, the project sits one hour from Roxby Downs and maintains access to power infrastructure and established supply chains. South Australia's streamlined regulatory environment offers additional advantages through its unique iterative approval process.The investment opportunity is enhanced by favorable copper market timing, with prices advancing from $8,000 to over $10,000 per ton while financing availability improves and capital costs reduce. Stevens observes the strategic timing: "I personally think doing that is maybe leaving a party just as it starts to get exciting with the way that copper's moving."Coda maintains strong financial positioning with over $4 million cash and low corporate costs, providing runway to advance critical path items without immediate dilution pressure. The company's critical minerals classification through cobalt credits enhances strategic value while multiple development pathways provide flexibility in capital structure approaches.For investors seeking exposure to the copper supply shortage driven by electrification trends, Coda offers a de-risked entry point with established resources, proven economics, exceptional infrastructure, and experienced management positioned to deliver significant value appreciation through the critical feasibility phase.View Coda Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/coda-minerals-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

What if the solution to the global copper shortage has been right under our noses for billions of years? In this episode of On the Rocks Masterclass, we explore the fascinating world of biomining with Liz Dennett, Founder & CEO of Endolith, who's harnessing Earth's oldest miners – microbes – to revolutionize copper extraction.Liz's journey from NASA astrobiology research to founding a biotech mining company is as unique as her approach to solving one of mining's biggest challenges. With copper demand soaring for electrification and renewables, traditional mining methods are struggling to keep up. Enter biological intelligence: AI-optimized microbes that can extract more copper from low-grade ore than conventional methods ever could.In this masterclass, Liz breaks down the science behind biomining, explains how AI fine-tunes microbial performance in real-time, and shares insights from pilot deployments with major mining companies like BHP and Rio Tinto. We explore how this approach works within existing heap leach infrastructure, requires no toxic chemicals, and could turn mining waste into valuable resource streams.Whether you're curious about the intersection of biology and mining, interested in sustainable extraction methods, or wondering how microbes could solve supply chain challenges, this conversation offers a glimpse into mining's microscopic revolution.

In this KE Report daily editorial, I'm joined by Darrell Fletcher, Managing Director of Commodities at Bannockburn Capital Markets, who provides a trading desk perspective on the latest price action, positioning, and macro signals across the energy, copper, and precious metals markets. - Energy volatility dominates June - from geopolitical spikes to bearish fundamentals. - Copper holds firm above $4 with physical market dislocations and tariff pricing. - Gold consolidates near record highs as silver plays catch-up. Key Discussion Highlights: Energy Markets: Oil spiked on Middle East tensions but quickly reversed on news of a ceasefire. Darrell highlights that despite short-term risk premiums, the WTI forward curve remains anchored around $62, reflecting ongoing bearish fundamentals like rising global inventories and weakening demand. US rig counts are at multi-year lows, but no supply shock is expected yet. Natural Gas: A short-lived surge on heatwave-driven demand brought prices above $4, but markets have now converged back toward $3.50. Darrell notes a balanced setup, supported by increasing LNG flows and long-term support from Calendar 2026 pricing around $4.40. Copper: The metal continues to trade strongly just below $5/lb. Physical flows into COMEX are pushing spreads higher, with LME inventories falling and tariff expectations leading to a 10-15% price premium. Large copper miners like Freeport and BHP are rebounding, but still lag copper's year-to-date performance. Precious Metals: Gold is flat for the month but remains near record highs, while silver is up 7% in June and closing the performance gap. Darrell maintains a bullish view on gold due to debt concerns, a weakening USD, and potential Fed rate cuts. Silver, while less of a pure monetary asset, shows strong industrial demand and momentum. US Dollar & Macro Impact: A falling USD (down ~10% YTD) is generally supportive of commodities, but Darrell points out the correlation is looser than in the past. He sees continued pressure on the greenback from fiscal concerns and rate cut expectations.

* 太平洋島國近年來在地緣政治和天然資源爭奪戰中扮演的重要角色。* 新喀里多尼亞是法國的太平洋領地，蘊藏著全球約25%的鎳資源。* 去年五月，新喀里多尼亞發生騷亂，起因是法國議會通過一項憲法修正案，允許在新喀里多尼亞居住十年以上的人參與議會投票，這被原住民卡納克族認為稀釋了他們的票源，阻礙了獨立公投。* 新喀里多尼亞的原住民（島國居民）一直希望脫離法國獨立，但三次公投均未成功，只有少數人贊成獨立。* 有猜測認為，新喀里多尼亞騷亂背後可能與某個「泱泱大國」的外交活動及其與島上政治領袖的密切關係有關，儘管該國外交部否認這些指控。* 鎳是電動車電池所需的重要元素，近年來需求大增。* 新喀里多尼亞的騷亂導致國際鎳價飆升至每公噸約三萬美元。* 印尼是全球鎳儲量最高的國家，澳洲次之。* 中國的青山控股和江蘇德龍兩家企業與印尼礦場合作，建立了鎳的冶煉產能，佔印尼總產能的75%，導致國際鎳期貨價格從三萬多美元跌至約一萬五千美元一公噸。* 由於鎳價下跌，澳洲必和必拓（BHP）去年宣佈暫時關閉其在西澳的鎳礦，因為在當前價格下會虧損。* 印尼政府於2022年至2023年左右實施鎳出口禁令，要求鎳必須經過加工才能出口，旨在將整個產業鏈留在印尼國內，創造就業。* 中國（被稱為「泱泱大國」）在電動車、太陽能和電池產業方面採取重要策略，部分原因是其缺乏石油，並希望在汽車工業中獲得競爭力。* 中國憑藉將成熟技術低成本大量生產的能力，使其電動車價格低廉，但也導致了產能過剩和傾銷問題，引發國際貿易矛盾。* 太陽能板產業也因多晶矽原材料和生產集中在中國，形成了中國壟斷的局面。* 澳洲的鎳礦生產成本高於印尼，部分原因是勞動力成本較高，導致其在價格競爭中處於劣勢。* 市場在追求環保（ESG）的「綠色鎳」與廉價鎳之間，最終選擇了後者，反映了消費者在價格與環保標準之間的矛盾。* 新喀里多尼亞等海外領土對法國而言，在經濟和文化聯繫上維繫困難，即使沒有外部勢力干預，其管治本身也面臨挑戰。* 小型島國的生存很大程度上依賴於與整體環境的互動，並受大國角力的影響。* 在亞洲地區，中國被認為是影響力最大的大國，其次是感覺受到威脅的澳洲，而印度則專注於自身區域。 This is a public episode.
