Le développement de la fibre optique pousse les entreprises de télécommunications à accélérer chaque année le remplacement de leur réseau de câbles en cuivre. La vente de cet or rouge pourrait leur rapporter collectivement 10 milliards de dollars dans les 15 prochaines années. La tendance est inévitable : le développement de la fibre optique signe la fin des anciens réseaux de câbles à base de cuivre qui ont permis l'essor des téléphones, fixes puis l'accès à internet par ADSL. En France par exemple, Orange, propriétaire du réseau de câbles en cuivre, prévoit de le mettre hors service d'ici 2030, selon l'Arcep, l'autorité de régulation des communications électroniques, des postes et de la distribution de la presse. Dans le monde, la plupart des entreprises de télécommunications auront tourné la page du cuivre d'ici 2035, selon le cabinet Analysys Mason, cité par le Financial Times.L'année dernière, la revente du cuivre a rapporté 720 millions de dollars, selon TXO, une société qui aide les opérateurs à recycler le métal. D'ici 15 ans, la manne qui sera perçue par les groupes de télécommunications est estimée 10 milliards de dollars. Cela ne signifie pas pour autant le jackpot. Plusieurs opérateurs assurent même faire un bénéfice négligeable en raison de la complexité du procédé d'extraction du cuivre des câbles, avant de le recycler pour en faire une matière première à nouveau commercialisable. Un recyclage complexe, mais qui s'intensifieMême si l'opération est coûteuse, les prix du cuivre sont appelés à augmenter dans les prochaines années, et cela n'a pas échappé à ceux qui ont intensifié déjà leurs efforts de recyclage, comme l'entreprise américaine AT&T.L'industriel annonce avoir extrait et revendu plus de 32 000 tonnes d'or rouge depuis 2021. La liste de ceux qui se sont engagés sur le même chemin est longue : on peut citer le Suédois Telia, qui annonce avoir perçu déjà 25 millions d'euros via la revente de cuivre issu de ses câbles, ou encore le Norvégien Telenor, qui espère récupérer dans les prochaines années 68 millions d'euros selon le Financial Times.Ce cuivre recyclé vient s'ajouter à l'offre minière existante, sur un marché qui est appelé à se tendre dans les prochaines années. Parce qu'il conduit l'électricité comme aucun autre métal, le cuivre est un composant clé des batteries des véhicules électriques, et donc directement associé à la transition énergétique.L'industrie pourrait avoir besoin de 70% de cuivre supplémentaire d'ici 2050 par rapport à 2021, pour atteindre 50 millions de tonnes par an, selon le grouper BHP. Mais faute d'investissements miniers suffisants ces dernières années, le déficit en cuivre pourrait arriver plus vite que prévu.À lire aussiLe cours du cuivre au plus haut depuis 14 moisÀ lire aussiLa flambée du cuivre aiguise l'appétit du géant australien BHP Billiton

Às 16 horas e 20 minutos de 5 de novembro de 2015, uma avalanche de lama misturada com rejeitos de minério de ferro passou por cima dos distritos de Bento Rodrigues e Paracatu de Baixo, na cidade de Mariana (MG) e avançou para o Rio Doce, onde formou um rastro de destruição por mais de 600 km até chegar ao oceano. Uma tragédia que matou 19 pessoas, afetou mais de 2,5 milhões ao longo das margens do rio, entre Minas Gerais e Espírito Santo, e provocou danos ambientais irreparáveis. A origem do desastre foi o rompimento de uma barragem da mineradora Samarco, controlada pelas empresas Vale e BHP Billiton. Desde então, a Samarco já realizou alguns pagamentos e ações compensatórias, mas nada disso chegou perto de atender as vítimas adequadamente. Na Justiça brasileira, as empresas propuseram em abril deste ano um acordo de quase R$ 130 bilhões, que segue em negociação. Em paralelo, 620 mil dessas vítimas entraram também com uma ação de reparação de danos no Reino Unido, país de uma das sedes da BHP, onde o valor das indenizações pode totalizar R$ 230 bilhões – o que faz dela a maior ação coletiva ambiental do planeta, que começa a ser julgada nesta segunda-feira (21). Para contar como estão as pessoas afetadas pelo desastre nove anos depois, Natuza Nery conversa com Rafaela Mansur, repórter do g1 em Minas Gerais. E quem explica todo o imbróglio judicial, no Brasil e no Reino Unido, é Paulo Bessa, professor titular da Unirio, presidente da Comissão Permanente de Direito Ambiental do Instituto dos Advogados Brasileiros e autor de 15 livros sobre legislação ambiental. O escritório de advocacia Pogust Goodhead, que defende vítimas da tragédia de Mariana no processo em Londres, enviou uma nota ao Assunto afirmando que "ao contrário do que afirma o advogado Paulo Bessa, não há duplicidade de ações no Brasil e em Londres". "O processo na Inglaterra é uma ação de reparação coletiva privada, instrumento jurídico que não existe no Brasil. O caso no Brasil não é de autoria das vítimas e busca compensação financeira principalmente para o governo federal brasileiro e estados." De acordo com o escritório, "o processo na Inglaterra é uma oportunidade para que as vítimas sejam finalmente ouvidas e seus danos individuais reparados de forma justa e integral. A ação inglesa abrange a reparação de danos individuais e contempla perdas de sustento, saúde, cultura, e da própria dignidade das vítimas." "É uma oportunidade, portanto, de extrapolar a jurisdição da legislação brasileira e exercer a soberania dessa lei em outras cortes", diz a nota. "Além disso, a ação inglesa não é apenas sobre compensar as vítimas, mas também sobre responsabilizar uma das maiores corporações do mundo e enviar uma mensagem clara para as multinacionais: crimes como o de Mariana não ficarão impunes."

O julgamento da ação de 620 mil pessoas e 46 prefeituras contra as mineradoras BHP Billiton e Vale em Londres está previsto para começar em 21 de outubro de 2024. Até fevereiro de 2025 deverá sair a sentença que dirá se as empresas devem ou não pagar indenização, afirmou o advogado Tom Goodhead, 42 anos. Ele representa as vítimas.Goodhead espera um aumento no número de clientes brasileiros em seu escritório, o Pogust Goodhead, se vencer a ação. “Sou abordado todas as semanas”, disse em entrevista ao Poder360. “Acho que o caso Mariana certamente pode estabelecer um precedente da capacidade das vítimas que sentem as consequências dos poderes de uma espécie de capitalismo descontrolado”, declarou.

Drikus Combrinck, uitvoerende hoof van Capicraft gesels oor die rand, olieprys, en BHP Billiton. Volg RSG Geldsake op Twitter

Este jueves 15 de agosto se cumplió el tercer día de huelga en la mina Escondida, operada en Chile por la multinacional australiana BHP Billiton, lo que ha impulsado los precios mundiales del cobre a medida que se propagan las preocupaciones sobre el suministro del metal rojo.

Most of us say we'd speak up and do the right thing - that we'd not conform to horrible societal standards.  We hear that, for example, when people speak about what happened during World War II in Europe. Would you have been part of the Resistance, knowing that the risk included not only social shunning but indeed death? But we also hear that so many of you have a hard time speaking up when it comes to interrupting moments of racism, sexism, misogyny, ageism, homophobia - I mean, it can be really intimidating to use your voice.  Like, you *want* to do the right thing, but feel like you don't have all the information, don't know what to say, what the repercussions might be, for example. We're here to say that if there ever was a time for us to use our voice - from interrupting with people who want to take away other people's rights, to promoting equity, looking out for ourselves by getting what we need from relationships and communities, and using our right to vote in the voting booths this fall (because yes, a vote can be your voice as well) - now is the time. We're so grateful we get to bring you a meaningful and practical conversation that can help you reframe your understanding of why we become silent - and how to unlearn all of that intentionally, so we can start using our powerful voices again.   What to listen for: Shocking stats: “Kids ask roughly 125 questions per day. Adults ask about 6 questions per day. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we silence our curiosity.” What are the ramifications of becoming silent, especially with a 2024 lens? The three questions that each of us - intentionally or not - wrestle with around voice vs. silence: What are the costs of choosing voice? What are the benefits of staying silent? Given the costs and benefits of each, what makes sense to me? How being at a hyper-fast pace can not only lead us not to speak our minds, but lead us to silence others as well.  Tips around unlearning systemic silence, like asking who does this policy support and who does this policy silence or disadvantage?  About Elaine:   Elaine Lin Hering is a facilitator, writer, and speaker.

I did not know this from my family of origin. Mindfulness is the awareness of how I am feeling. What emotions are coming up? Can I give them names? Can I label them? Can I interact with them? But any of that action first requires awareness. [show-notes-emotions] Thoughts On Breathing We should breathe regularly. Yeah. And deeply. And intentionally, right, the breathing exercises I've learned from my own therapist have helped me. It's nothing novel; four counts in, four counts out. As a singer, we always talked about breathing from the diaphragm rather than the shallow breath. And that's really similar to mindfulness breathing exercises. Again, the question to me is, why don't we do this more often, even if we know it is good for us? Even if we have experienced the positive impacts of the habit of breathing right, according to the pace around us. And that's the opportunity for each of us to choose. Bullying Story As a parent, I've had conversations about whether my kindergartener is being bullied or is the bully. Bullying is all about impact, regardless of intention. Take the kid who took a pencil to my son's head; the narrative was he wanted to play but didn't know how to approach safely. Bullying fascinates me because it's a disconnect between intention and impact. We often focus on our good intentions, saying, "That's not what I meant." But that doesn't absolve the negative impact or damage done to the recipient. Mindfulness, to me, is aligning good intentions with awareness of their impact on others. Are you receptive to feedback, whether it's someone saying "I'm hurt" or being silent? How do you reconcile your intentions with the actual impact? This intentionality is deeply interconnected with mindfulness.

En una nueva edición del Rat Pack de Mesa Central, Iván Valenzuela conversó con las editoras Paula Comandari y Marily Lüders sobre el foco en la agenda de seguridad tras los carabineros asesinados en Cañete y la posible fusión de las mineras BHP Billiton y Anglo American.

Le plus grand groupe minier au monde, l'Australien BHP Billiton, veut encore grossir en rachetant son concurrent Anglo-American, qui a pour l'instant décliné son offre. Une folie des grandeurs alimentée par la flambée des cours du cuivre. Avec la transition énergétique, le métal rouge a changé de couleur : il appartient désormais à la catégorie des métaux dits « verts », ceux qui sont indispensables à la décarbonation. Il faut du nickel, du lithium et du cobalt pour cette transition, mais aussi du cuivre, beaucoup de cuivre pour l'électrification de nos systèmes énergétiques. Cette nouvelle demande, en augmentation constante depuis quinze ans, nourrit l'ascension spectaculaire des cours. Sur le marché londonien des métaux, le cours du cuivre a bondi de 18 % en deux mois. Vendredi, il a franchi la barre des 10 000 dollars la tonne.À lire aussiLe cours du cuivre au plus haut depuis 14 moisDes cours astronomiquesLes ventes de cuivre d'Anglo-Américain, très présent au Chili et au Pérou, les deux plus gros producteurs avec la Chine, ont explosé. Elles ont augmenté de 30 % entre 2022 et 2023. C'est cette rente que le géant australien espère capter. Il a mis 39 milliards de dollars sur la table. Pas assez estime le groupe convoité.Anglo-Américain connait lui aussi les enjeux. Les deux entités réunies détiendraient à elles seules 10 % de l'offre mondiale de cuivre. De quoi assurer une rente confortable pour les vingt ans qui viennent. Car la demande va continuer à grimper. Entre 2010 et 2024, la production a bondi de 8 millions de tonnes. Sans pour autant épancher la soif de cuivre.Un déficit de l'offre en perspectiveUn déficit pourrait même survenir dès cette année, prévoient plusieurs analystes. Selon le cabinet CRU, il faudrait extraire 4 millions de tonnes supplémentaires d'ici 2030 pour satisfaire la demande potentielle. Mais au lieu de croître, l'offre va commencer à décliner à partir de 2027, faute d'investissements suffisants dans l'ouverture de nouvelles mines. Les gisements riches en minerai sont de plus en plus rares, leur exploitation de plus en plus coûteuse, et très chronophage. Cela peut prendre 10 ans pour réunir le financement, obtenir les autorisations et vaincre l'hostilité grandissante des populations locales. La sécheresse qui sévit menace par ailleurs la production dans la moitié des mines en activité, alerte PWC. Des perspectives pas très rassurantes pour les consommateurs de cuivre, et donc pour l'indispensable transition énergétique.Une méga fusion inquiétante pour les consommateursLa méga fusion qui s'annonce ne va pas forcément arranger les choses. Dans l'immédiat, les consommateurs redoutent surtout qu'elle aggrave le problème. En détenant une part aussi importante de l'offre, le nouveau mastodonte pourrait imposer ses prix au mépris de ses rivaux. Les Chinois achètent la moitié de la production mondiale de cuivre. On les voit mal laisser faire une fusion qui réduirait leur pouvoir de négociation. Ils seront consultés et donneront évidemment leur avis sur l'opération. BHP Billiton doit aussi composer avec l'hostilité des Sud-Africains. Dans l'immédiat, l'Australien prépare une offre plus alléchante. Avec, bien sûr, un œil sur le marché. Le cuivre pourrait facilement grimper jusqu'à 12 000 dollars la tonne d'ici deux ans.À lire aussiCuivre: de nouveaux records de prix à venir?

In this episode we chat with Sam Pazuki, Managing Director and CEO at Matador Mining, an ASX listed junior exploring for high-grade gold with 2 assets, Cape Ray Gold and their Hermitage Project in Newfoundland. Sam has over 20 years of mining industry experience in senior leadership positions where he advised major mining companies, including BHP Billiton, as a management consultant within Ernst & Young's Advisory Services practice, and most recently as Senior Vice President, Corporate Development with Oceana Gold before taking the helm at Matador. He gives an update on the company, the current junior exploration market and what are the enablers and catalysts for the mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Matador Mining is a junior exploration company focused on high-grade gold exploration in Newfoundland. The company has a district-scale land package and a strong board of directors with extensive industry experience. The CEO, Sam Pazuki, emphasises the importance of transparency and communication with shareholders in the junior exploration space. The market has been challenging for junior exploration companies, but Matador has secured strong shareholders and raised funds to support its exploration activities. The outlook for Matador Mining includes ongoing exploration activities, a winter drill program, and potential listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. BEST MOMENTS "We've got a district scale land package on the largest Gold structure that's significantly under-explored."  "The market likes news flow. So you really need to set up a program where you're doing work for much of the year as possible."  "We need to do a better job to lower costs. But a big catalyst is easing of those inflationary pressures, easing of the supply chain issues." "We're all adults here. And, you know, our reputations are on the line, our credibility is on the line."

This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. Canada-headquartered Giyani Metals, which operates in Botswana, has secured $16-million in financing from South Africa's Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) to advance a battery-grade manganese project in Botswana - and South Africa's Manganese Metal Co (MMC) of Mpumalanga is holding thumbs that the IDC, with which it has been in discussion for more than a year, will also co-fund the exciting new battery manganese project that is ready to be advanced in Mbombela. State-owned IDC financing is the cornerstone of a $26-million funding package for Botswana's proposed K Hill high-pressure manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) project - but funding from the IDC for construction of South Africa's initial HPMSM in Mbombela is still to be finalised. Canada's Giyani Metals has described the IDC funding as a resounding vote of confidence in K Hill, located in south-eastern Botswana The demonstration plant being completed in Johannesburg is scheduled to be followed by the construction of a commercial scale plant in Botswana. In Mpumalanga, MMC is dead keen to go ahead with a 5 000 t/y demonstration plant in Mbombela, and once its HPMSM is accredited goes into the batteries of the world, MMC will be able to step out and put South Africa on the map. "It's only finalisation of the funding that stands between us and construction of the initial demonstration plant. Successful demonstration of the business case would then result in a bigger commercial plant," MMC chairperson Bernard Swanepoel said in response to Mining Weekly. Regarding the finalisation of IDC funding, Swanepoel added: "We have been talking to the IDC for a year now. We hope they will co-invest." Manganese is going into battery electric vehicles (BEV) and battery energy storage for good technical and cost reasons, with formulations increasingly including manganese in batteries. MMC, already the producer of the world's purest manganese metal, is itself becoming greener and cleaner as it repositions for market acceptance in the BEV market, where there is major growth potential. Greening the one-gigawatt hours of energy that MMC needs a day is 1.8 MW of clean hydropower that is being sourced from a power station in the Crocodile river. MMC uses South African manganese fines to produce 3% of the world's manganese metal in the form of selenium-free electrolytic manganese metal (EMM). Fifty-six per cent of this is sold to Japan, 25% to the US, and 10% to Europe. The EMM is 99.9% pure, beating the next highest 99.7% A far-reaching new horizon is now extending for MMC, well beyond the EMM market into the burgeoning BEV market, with HPMSM. For some time, customers have been buying the company's EMM to dissolve it and make HPMSM, which has prompted the extension into HPMSH by MMC itself. MMC, which has 400 direct employees and 200 indirect contractor employees, in its last financial year earned South Africa R2.28-billion in export revenue, exporting mainly through the ports of Maputo and Durban, and paid R179-million in taxes. In days gone by, MMC was operated by a Samancor structure on behalf of BHP Billiton and Anglo American. Today it is owned by MM Holdings, held 70% by Bright Resources and 30% by To The Point. Trade & Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS) senior economist Gaylor Montmasson-Clair describes MMC as a one-of-a-kind "industrial jewel" that should be supported on its growth trajectory. TIPS is an independent, non-profit, economic research institution based in Pretoria that was established in 1996 to support economic policy development, with an emphasis on industrial policy in South Africa and the region. As reported by Mining Weekly last week, Australia-listed but South Africa-functioning manganese mining company Jupiter Mines has produced a 99.9% pure sample of HPMSM using the Northern Cape's manganese ore and bringing into service an internally developed hydrometallurgical production...

Good morning to you,Sunday's piece on the inexorable rise of the far right and what to do about it has struck quite a few nerves. Check it out here, if you haven't already.In today's piece - considerably less political - which was first published in Moneyweek last Friday, we consider the sorry state of junior mining.Enjoy!DominicMining is infamously cyclical. But if ever there was an industry that blows desert hot and arctic cold, it is the subsector of small cap and early-stage companies known as junior miners. And boy has it been blowing cold.Many of the old hands are saying this is the worst bear market they have ever known. Worse than the 2013-15, when junior mining had a near-death experience, following the boom of the 2000s; worse than the bear market of the 1990s that came with colossally depressed metals prices at the end of a 20-year bear market and then the Bre-X scandal. Bre-X was one of the scams of the century. The Canadian gold mining company falsified gold samples from its mine in the middle of nowhere in Indonesia. The stock went up over 1,000-fold, from pennies to a C$6 billion valuation, before the fraud was exposed. Many were defrauded and the sector went into a prolonged depression, starving it of capital. The story became the basis for the film, Gold, starring Matthew McConaughey.Mining needs capital. It typically takes more than 15 years to take a mine from discovery to production. That's 15 years of drilling, development and mine building with no chance profit in sight - unless you sell your deposit to someone else who then has to find the capital to take it into production. Millions, sometimes billions of dollars are needed. There is no immediate return, there is no guaranteed return. Why invest in something with such long time horizons when you can invest in some tech play that will have its app uploaded to the app store, potentially generating revenue in a matter of months? The gains are quicker and the aggro is lower.A lot can happen in those 15 years developing a mine. The metals markets can change, from supply shortages sending prices higher to glut sending prices lower. The money markets can change - interest rates can go up, for example. The political situation can change - politicians might seize strategic assets or impose windfall taxes, anti-mining lobby groups might block development, ESG narratives might take hold and prevent progress. It might be that after 10 years of drilling you discover the deposit is not quite as economic as you once hoped.The Cycle TurnsMining is hard. Many walk away. Then there's no capital in the sector. With no capital, there's no new metal supply coming to market. Then there's a shortage of metal. Then, suddenly, we need to invest. Then capital floods the sector. It all starts to look rosy again. People make lots of money. Projects that will never make it to production start to get financed. Investors start to lose money. Rinse and repeat.With Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, commodities prices sky-rocketed. Supply chains were disrupted. Russian natural resources - and there are a lot of them - were now effectively off-line to the west. Nickel was probably the poster-child of the parabola. It suddenly spiked from around $17,000 to $100,000. The London Metals Exchange had never seen anything like it. Monday March 7th, 2022, was the date. That was the peak of the market. A bear market took hold. It has left the eyes of anyone invested in the sector bleeding. It doesn't matter if the metal being mined is base or precious, strategic or industrial, junior mining is in the doghouse. Metals prices themselves might not be that disastrous - gold is close to $2,000/oz. Copper is not far off $8,500/tonne. Iron ore is at $130/tonne. I've seen worse. The senior producers - the likes of BHP Billiton or Glencore - are not faring that badly either. It's the juniors - the development plays, the explorers - that have been slaughtered. There are exceptions. Uranium for example. We need uranium. Kazakhstan, the world's largest producer, is struggling to get its uranium to market in the west. It has Russia to the north, China, which will not export, the east. Afghanistan and Iran to the south. Ukraine to the east. It's geographically problematic. For that reason I like uranium and I think it's going higher. But more than 90% of the mining companies in the uranium mining ETFs will not see any production for at least a decade, probably two. Taking a uranium mine to production is an even longer process than for most other metals. The ETFs might be going up, but the companies within them are drains of capital. The only compelling reason to invest in them is that the value of their resources are perceived to be increasing. I wouldn't touch them myself. You are better off just owning the metal. Yellowcake (YCA.L), which stores it, is the way to play it.You could say the same for gold. Mining is supposed to give you leverage to the metal. That has not happened. This chart shows gold and the gold miners. When the chart is rising, miners are outperforming the metal. That has not happened in any sustained way for 20 years. The metal has been outperforming the miners. There are so many ways to own gold - ETFs, online bullion banks, futures, spreadbets, CFDs. Why take the individual company risk of a miner?Though, on the positive side, there are signs we are making a multi-year double bottom.If you are buying gold in these uncertain times, consider The Pure Gold Company, whether you are taking delivery or storing online. Premiums are low, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, US, Canada and Europe, or you can store your gold with them. I have an affiliation deal. More here.The opportunityThe result of all of this is that there are junior mining companies that are currently offering extraordinary value. I'm not saying that in two months' time they won't be offering even more value. That is to say they've got even cheaper. They might well have. But in any case here is a selection of four companies that I think have a good chance of doubling or tripling if and when this sector turns up.Two of these are Canada listed. That is where most juniors are based. So if you are foolhardy enough to want to buy any of these companies, you will need a broker that deals in Canadian companies. (I use II, Interactive Investor. They have their shortcomings, but they are cheap. If you sign up with them, say I referred you – frizzers@gmail.com – and you will get a year for free, while I gets a referral fee).Sierra Madre Gold and Silver (SM.V)Sierra Madre Gold and Silver (SM.V) is putting a past-producing silver mine, La Guitarra, in Mexico back into production. A fortnight ago it declared it has dramatically more silver than previously thought. Its mineral resource estimate went from 17 million ounces to 47.4 million ounces of silver in total (measured and indicated). This is a big development. The news came quicker than expected and better than expected. In mining it's usually the reverse. The market barely shrugged. In a bull market this news would have doubled the stock.Sierra Madre will be producing silver next year. Permits are all in place. The mine reconstruction is months not years away from completion. It needs silver at around $13-14 to break even. The silver price is $23-24, so it makes around $10 profit on each ounce. (It will end up being lower than that. It always is. But you get the point). The mine's previous production was 1 to 2 million ounces per year. Sierra could produce at higher rates than previously anticipated given the increased resource, but even at the previous rate Sierra will make US$10-20m per year, which, for a US$36m market cap company, is pretty compelling. Anticipated production rates are: 800,000oz in year one, 1.3m oz in year 2, then 1.6m, 1.75m and 2.2mn by year 5. There is also potential to increase the resource when it drills out the eastern part of the property.It is going to need to raise several million in the next few months, but CEO Alex Langer has that in hand. The next piece of the jigsaw is for him to demonstrate that to a doubting market. Then production hopefully by summer next year. Langer is buying. I have been buying too. Andrada Mining (ATM.L)Andrada Mining (ATM.L) is a play on both tin and lithium. It started out as a tin miner with lithium and tantalum bi-product, but lithium discoveries at its Uis project in Namibia have proved so compelling that the company re-branded itself as Andrada (after Brazilian mineralogist, Jose Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva, who first discovered the lithium-bearing minerals, petalite and spodumene). The lithium story has been suffering a little of late as the ESG narrative has lost its way, but this could prove a globally significant resource. In any case, though not that many seem to realise, the destiny of Andrada's lithium is in the ceramics industry not batteries. Management is young and ambitious. The company is producing tin at profit. We are waiting for news on a big catalyst for the stock, which is its partnership with a “strategic investor”. There are, we gather, numerous applicants but this is a conversation that has been going on a long time. It's a 5p stock. It could easily be 10 or 15p if this deal comes off.Tharisa PLC (LSE.THS / JSE:THA)Another cheap London-listed mining play is Tharisa PLC (LSE.THS / JSE:THA), which now has a market cap below £200 million. It has suffered because platinum group metals (PGMs) have been so out of favour, though it also produces significant amounts of chrome, which it ships directly to China at considerable profit, from its eponymous Tharisa mine in South Africa. Tharisa alone supplies around 10% of China's annual chrome demand, and chrome prices remain strong. The company has US$127 million in cash, and cash on hand of US$269 million including debt of US$142.2 million. Its dividend yield is currently around 9%. The money is to construct its Karo project in Zimbabwe, but weak PGM prices mean it has delayed development by a year, which is unfortunate. Even without Karo, which the market appears to have deemed a liability not an asset,  earnings per share for this year are roughly 32p, putting it on a PE of 2. Next year those earnings will be lower if the slide in PGM prices continues, so EPS will be lower. Then again PGM prices could rise. By the time Karo is producing you could be looking at a company with 400,000oz per annum of PGM and 2m tonnes of chrome production with decades of mine life. Huge. The market hates it. But it's a bargain. If you are prepared to take on the risk of, one, South Africa and, two, mining.Moneta Gold (ME.TO)Oh, Moneta. Like an errant lover that promises heaven and delivers only heartache.Moneta is developing the largest undeveloped gold project in North America - the Tower Gold project - near Timmins, Ontario. Its mineral resource estimate (MRE) showed it has 12.8 million ounces. With a market cap of C$100m, that means its gold is currently priced at US$6/oz. It is not unheard of for companies in such mining friendly jurisdictions to trade at ten times that. For example, nearby Marathon Gold, which has around 4m oz, has just last week been taken out by Calibre Mining, for an equivalent of around $60/oz. But, with all the successful step-out and infill drilling that has taken place - it has put out something like 16 positive news releases in a row - that resource estimate is going to increase to, in my view, somewhere above 15m oz. But this is a huge project, a low-grade bulk deposit, and it needs bucketloads of capital to take it forwards. It also needs a new CEO. Chairman, Josef Vejvoda, is standing in as Interim CEO, while the search goes forward.The investment thesis is that this asset is simply too big to ignore and that a major will buy it. My concern is that this story is so well known now - why has a major not already gobbled it up? UPDATE: Right on cue we have this news of a merger. At first glance, this is not the big take out I was hoping for, but I'll be back with more thoughts in the next day or two. Final note I'd love to tell you that a bull market is around the corner - cripes, it is overdue - and that these things are going to rocket. I can't say that. I can say these things are cheap. But we are just going into North American tax selling season, when investors sell off their losers to take a tax loss. That is only going to add to the selling pressure. But the amazing bull market of 2016 began almost on the last day of tax-loss selling in 2015. Let's hope/pray for a repeat. Bull markets in junior mining tend to strike when you least expect them. Often they just happen with no apparent trigger. When they do happen, they happen fast and the moves can take your breath away. It's often better to book your seat on the bus in advance.This article first appeared in Moneyweek Magazine.Buying gold?My recommended bullion dealer is The Pure Gold Company, whether you are taking delivery or storing online. Premiums are low, quality of service is high.

It needs silver at around $13-14 to break even. The silver price is $23-24, so it makes around $10 profit on each ounce. (It will end up being lower than that. It always is. But you get the point). The mine's previous production was 1 to 2 million ounces per year. Sierra could produce at higher rates than previously anticipated given the increased resource, but even at the previous rate Sierra will make US$10-20m per year, which, for a US$36m market cap company, is pretty compelling. Anticipated production rates are: 800,000oz in year one, 1.3m oz in year 2, then 1.6m, 1.75m and 2.2mn by year 5. There is also potential to increase the resource when it drills out the eastern part of the property.It is going to need to raise several million in the next few months, but CEO Alex Langer has that in hand. The next piece of the jigsaw is for him to demonstrate that to a doubting market. Then production hopefully by summer next year. Langer is buying. I have been buying too. Andrada Mining (ATM.L)Andrada Mining (ATM.L) is a play on both tin and lithium. It started out as a tin miner with lithium and tantalum bi-product, but lithium discoveries at its Uis project in Namibia have proved so compelling that the company re-branded itself as Andrada (after Brazilian mineralogist, Jose Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva, who first discovered the lithium-bearing minerals, petalite and spodumene). The lithium story has been suffering a little of late as the ESG narrative has lost its way, but this could prove a globally significant resource. In any case, though not that many seem to realise, the destiny of Andrada's lithium is in the ceramics industry not batteries. Management is young and ambitious. The company is producing tin at profit. We are waiting for news on a big catalyst for the stock, which is its partnership with a “strategic investor”. There are, we gather, numerous applicants but this is a conversation that has been going on a long time. It's a 5p stock. It could easily be 10 or 15p if this deal comes off.Tharisa PLC (LSE.THS / JSE:THA)Another cheap London-listed mining play is Tharisa PLC (LSE.THS / JSE:THA), which now has a market cap below £200 million. It has suffered because platinum group metals (PGMs) have been so out of favour, though it also produces significant amounts of chrome, which it ships directly to China at considerable profit, from its eponymous Tharisa mine in South Africa. Tharisa alone supplies around 10% of China's annual chrome demand, and chrome prices remain strong. The company has US$127 million in cash, and cash on hand of US$269 million including debt of US$142.2 million. Its dividend yield is currently around 9%. The money is to construct its Karo project in Zimbabwe, but weak PGM prices mean it has delayed development by a year, which is unfortunate. Even without Karo, which the market appears to have deemed a liability not an asset,  earnings per share for this year are roughly 32p, putting it on a PE of 2. Next year those earnings will be lower if the slide in PGM prices continues, so EPS will be lower. Then again PGM prices could rise. By the time Karo is producing you could be looking at a company with 400,000oz per annum of PGM and 2m tonnes of chrome production with decades of mine life. Huge. The market hates it. But it's a bargain. If you are prepared to take on the risk of, one, South Africa and, two, mining.Moneta Gold (ME.TO)Oh, Moneta. Like an errant lover that promises heaven and delivers only heartache.Moneta is developing the largest undeveloped gold project in North America - the Tower Gold project - near Timmins, Ontario. Its mineral resource estimate (MRE) showed it has 12.8 million ounces. With a market cap of C$100m, that means its gold is currently priced at US$6/oz. It is not unheard of for companies in such mining friendly jurisdictions to trade at ten times that. For example, nearby Marathon Gold, which has around 4m oz, has just last week been taken out by Calibre Mining, for an equivalent of around $60/oz. But, with all the successful step-out and infill drilling that has taken place - it has put out something like 16 positive news releases in a row - that resource estimate is going to increase to, in my view, somewhere above 15m oz. But this is a huge project, a low-grade bulk deposit, and it needs bucketloads of capital to take it forwards. It also needs a new CEO. Chairman, Josef Vejvoda, is standing in as Interim CEO, while the search goes forward.The investment thesis is that this asset is simply too big to ignore and that a major will buy it. My concern is that this story is so well known now - why has a major not already gobbled it up? UPDATE: Right on cue we have this news of a merger. At first glance, this is not the big take out I was hoping for, but I'll be back with more thoughts in the next day or two. Final note I'd love to tell you that a bull market is around the corner - cripes, it is overdue - and that these things are going to rocket. I can't say that. I can say these things are cheap. But we are just going into North American tax selling season, when investors sell off their losers to take a tax loss. That is only going to add to the selling pressure. But the amazing bull market of 2016 began almost on the last day of tax-loss selling in 2015. Let's hope/pray for a repeat. Bull markets in junior mining tend to strike when you least expect them. Often they just happen with no apparent trigger. When they do happen, they happen fast and the moves can take your breath away. It's often better to book your seat on the bus in advance.This article first appeared in Moneyweek Magazine.Buying gold?My recommended bullion dealer is The Pure Gold Company, whether you are taking delivery or storing online. Premiums are low, quality of service is high.

Janet Talks to Paul about recent permits and startup plans for production at enCore's Rosita Project. Mr. Goranson, CEO and Director of enCore Energy Corp has thirty- three years of mining, processing and regulatory experience in the uranium extraction industry that includes both conventional and in-situ recovery (ISR) mining. Most recently, Mr. Goranson was the Chief Operating Officer for Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc., where he was responsible for the operations of the White Mesa Uranium Mill located in Southeast Utah, the Nichols Ranch ISR uranium and Sheep Mountain projects located in Central Wyoming, and the Alta Mesa ISR uranium project located in South Texas. He was closely involved at the federal level on trade actions and the President's Nuclear Fuel Working Group interagency process. Mr. Goranson served as President, Chief Operating Officer and Director for Uranerz, where he was responsible for commissioning, operating and expanding the Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium Project. In addition to those duties, he also managed uranium marketing, regulatory and government affairs, exploration, and land groups. Prior to Cameco Resources, Mr. Goranson was Vice President of Mesteña Uranium LLC where he led the construction, startup and operation of the Alta Mesa project, in Texas, that achieved over one million pounds of uranium production per year under his stewardship. At Mesteña, his responsibilities included responsibility for marketing uranium where he negotiated long term uranium supply contracts with nuclear utilities as well as spot uranium sales. Prior to Mesteña, Mr. Goranson was the manager for radiation safety, regulatory compliance and licensing with Rio Algom Mining LLC, a division of BHP Billiton, in Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming, and he served in various operational management positions for Uranium Resources, Inc. (now Westwater Resources) in South Texas.

The practice of capturing steam bursting through the earth's surface to generate electricity has been around for more than a century. This is the traditional concept of geothermal energy. But thanks to research and development in both the private and public sectors, new forms of capturing subsurface heat have been developed. Fervo Energy, an advanced geothermal start-up, made headlines this year with breakthroughs in drilling techniques inspired by those of oil and gas. After a successful 30-day pilot this summer, known as Project Red, Fervo proved it can produce 24/7 carbon-free energy using enhanced geothermal systems.  So what led to these breakthroughs? And what role can geothermal play in the energy transition?  This week host Bill Loveless talks with Tim Latimer about innovation in geothermal technology and scaling opportunities in the U.S. Tim is the co-founder and CEO of Fervo Energy. After studying geothermal energy in grad school at Stanford University, he started the company in 2017 with Jack Norbeck. Before Stanford, Tim worked as a drilling engineer for BHP Billiton in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins in Texas. He has also worked as a consultant for the Boston Consulting Group, Biota Technology, and McClure Geo-mechanics.

Genesis Fertilizers is a partnership that will be majority owned by Western Canadian farmers to build a urea production and distribution facility to be located at Belle Plaine, Saskatchewan, and a network of seven storage and distribution facilities across the three Prairie provinces.One of those distribution centers will be in Northeast Saskatchewan at Tisdale. This proposed project, if completed, will be new investment in, and will create jobs at, the newly established agricultural industrial park in Tisdale. Terry Drabiuk is the Vice President of Business Development for Genesis.He'll talk about the company's plans and how farmers can get involved.Four provincial farm organizations want the Saskatchewan government to examine the proposed merger between Bungee and Viterra. Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, along with crop commissions SaskCanola, SaskWheat and SaskBarley have sent a joint letter to Agriculture Minister David Marit making the request.Farmers are worried about less competition. A recent poll of farmers found that well over 80 percent were concerned about a lack of competition if the Bunge/Viterra deal is approved. APAS President Ian Boxall shares those concerns and points to the province's examination of the 2012 Glencore-Viterra merger as a precedent . . . along with a 2010 proposed merger between Potash Corp and BHP Billiton, which eventually fell through.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All eyes were on the Jackson Hole meeting in Wyoming, noted mining audiences manager Michael McCrae. On Friday McCrae recorded Kitco Roundtable with correspondent Paul Harris and Stillwater Critical Minerals' CEO Michael Rowley. Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE | OTCQB: PGEZF) is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on its flagship Stillwater West Ni-PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in the Stillwater mining district of Montana, U.S. 2023 drilling is currently underway. In the spring the company received an investment from mining giant Glencore. On Friday Fed Chair Jerome Powell gave a much-anticipated speech at the key economic gathering striking a hawkish tone on U.S. monetary policy, saying that the inflation fight is not finished and the Fed still “has a long way to go” to get inflation tamed. Powell said the U.S. economy may not be cooling down like the Fed wants to see in order to choke off inflationary pressures. He also noted that the U.S. central bank is prepared to raise interest rates further, if warranted. Bottom line from Fed observers: hawkish, but not that hawkish. The world's largest diversified miner, BHP Billiton, released its fiscal year end. BHP had its weakest annual profits in three years – weighed down by soft iron ore prices. China's sluggish economic revival and the West's hawkish response to inflation were hurting the miner's numbers. Regarding China, the key commodity country's economic fate is in the government's hands. BHP wrote that trajectory is contingent on the effectiveness of recent policy measures.

Após ser suspenso durante o período eleitoral, as discussões sobre um novo acordo de reparação para o crime socioambiental de responsabilidade das mineradoras Vale, Samarco e BHP Billiton, ocorrido em 2015 na bacia do Rio Doce, foram retomadas. A principal preocupação sobre o tema, que vem motivando manifestações e articulações dos atingidos, e também do Poder Legislativo, é que o acordo se dê nos moldes da repactuação acordada, em 2021, sobre o crime da Vale em Brumadinho.

The critical metal sector saw two big deals during the second last week of the year, noted Michael McCrae, mining audiences manager at Kitco  On Friday McCrae recorded Kitco Roundtable with John Feneck, Portfolio Manager and Founder of Feneck Consulting. This week the world's largest miner, BHP, firmed up terms to acquire OZ Minerals. Deal has been upsized to $6.39 billion. For comparison, the Agnico-Pan American-Yamana deal was $4.8 billion. OZ Minerals has copper and nickel operations in Australia. Forbes reports that the acquisition could be BHP's biggest in over a decade. The deal follows the trend of big miners investing in the battery metal space: Sibanye-Stillwater buying ioneer and Keliber, Rio Tinto spending $2.4 billion on Serbian lithium project Jadar. Last year BHP Billiton lost the fight to acquire Noront Resources and its rich nickel project in Ontario.  Keeping with the battery metal theme, Lithium Americas is set to acquire Arena Minerals for $227 million. CEO Jonathon Evans said the transaction will consolidate development projects in Argentina. Lithium Americas plans to cut itself in two in 2023 with one company focusing on Latin America and the other on North America with the goal of unlocking value. Roundtable also covered macro picture with Feneck predicting a hard landing due to the Federal Reserve's aggressive moves to fight inflation.

The Consumer Price Index number released on Wednesday marked a turning point in the markets, argued Kitco's mining audiences manager Michael McCrae.On Friday McCrae recorded Roundtable with Kitco correspondent Paul Harris and Exploration Insights editor Joe Mazumdar.The Wednesday inflation news from the Labor Department shows that U.S. consumer prices were unchanged in July. The CPI was flat last month after advancing 1.3% in June. A drop in oil prices were credited. McCrae argued that the inflation narrative has weakened."It's just one month's data, but there was a sea change. Money came back to beaten up tech. The NASDAQ was up 1.51% for the week," said McCrae. "Beaten up copper hit a six-week high on hopes the Fed will stop tightening. It finished the week at the $3.70 pound level.""Although gold was an inflation trade, it had been taken down in the past few months but also rose this week. Gold shot through 1800 on the CPI announcement and finished the week in the 1790s."Companies are releasing their Q2s, and some are indicating that inflation has peaked.Panelists also talked about Barrick's quarter, Gold Fields attempt to acquire Yamana Gold and BHP Billiton's play for Oz Minerals.

It's been a busy period for mining powerhouse Anglo American formally bidding farewell to its turnaround CEO, Mark Cutifani, dubbed the rocketman by the FM recently, and releasing a disappointing first quarter operating update with a 10% production decline blamed on wet weather in Brazil and South Africa as key factor. Since Cutifani took over the reins from Cynthia Carroll who was roundly criticized for overpaying on Minas Rio, the group has weathered some tough times but last year more than doubled its earnings and paid out a record $6.2bn to its shareholders amid soaring global prices for its products and solid performances from its operations. Its share price has now topped £40 — more than three times what it was when Cutifani embarked on the restructuring in mid-2013 and almost 20 times its early 2016 low. The group has outperformed its mining industry peers such as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto over the past nine years, delivering an annual average 20% total return to shareholders which beat Cutifani's 15% target. Michael Avery talks to the rocketman Mark Cutifani, former CEO of Anglo American

Tom welcomes a new guest to the show Shaun Usmar. Shaun is CEO of Triple Flag Precious Metals a Royalty and Streaming Company. He began in the business as a metallurgist in steel and aluminum. After that, he ended up in a senior executive role at various companies. This gave him a broad perspective on the metal industry. For many reasons conventional financing in the industry is difficult and this created an opportunity for alternative business models. Their Streaming and Royalty offerings function to help fill that gap. Conventional financing has yet to return to the precious metals industry. It's increasingly important for companies to secure supply chains. Inflation and geopolitics are boosting gold. The sector is still underperforming but eventually, it will attract the generalist investor. We're still early on in this bull market and inflation seems unlikely to normalize. Shaun discusses the various factors including wages, commodity prices, energy, and supply issues that could affect mining operators. Liquidity is important in this environment and higher-cost operations could experience problems. Pent-up demand due to the pandemic could put further pressure on goods and services. He hoped to see more consolidation in the mining market. When creating a Royalty program it's important to work within the needs of the resource company and develop a good solution. ESG is also important today and it's important to work with like minded companies that give back to the regions where they operate. The industry needs new talent and disciplined young people to enter the mining sector. Technology and innovation are also lacking and hopefully, we see development. Hopefully, we could see an Elon Musk equivalent become excited about mining and perhaps revolutionize the industry. The world needs resources. Lastly, he discusses some of his experiences and lessons from being in the industry.

While big deals in the gold space are getting done, the battery metal space is seeing more aggressive mergers and acquisitions, noted panelist Mining Audiences Manager Michael McCrae. On Friday McCrae recorded Kitco Roundtable with Kitco correspondent Paul Harris.For much of 2021 Wyloo Metals and BHP Billiton were in a bidding war for Noront Resources, which is advancing its Eagle's Nest nickel, copper, platinum and palladium deposit located in Ontario. In October Sibanye-Stillwater beat several bidders and paid $1.0 billion for both the Santa Rita nickel mine and the Serrote copper mine in Brazil.The gold space has seen less competition. The year's biggest deal, Agnico Eagle-Kirkland Lake Gold, lacked a premium or other suitors. The overhang of expensive deals from the last decade weighs on gold miners. McCrae also said battery metal producers are paying more since they clearly see a lack of supply in EV space.

The Democrats stimulus plan will be positive for gold, but it will be extremely positive for copper, said John Steen, associate professor at the University of British Columbia's mining school. On Friday Steen joined Kitco Roundtable to discuss stimulus, renewables and the electrification of everything, and the knock-on affect on metals, chiefly copper and nickel. Steen was joined by correspondent Paul Harris; editor Neils Christensen; and mining audiences manager, Michael McCrae. Republican and Democrat leaders are negotiating a COVID-19 stimulus package in excess of $2 trillion. President Biden is ahead in the polls, which could tilt the eventual stimulus to policy goals favored by Democrats. "A Biden win is extremely positive for copper. The estimated cost of preparing the electricity grid in the U.S. ... is about a trillion dollars. That's a huge stimulus, but it's a wicked amount of copper," said Steen. Steen argues that the whole story of battery material demand seems to be driven by cars and Tesla, but that misses a larger picture. "In the mining space, we have to look beyond the cars. Cars are getting a lot of attention [due] to the magnetism and charisma of Elon Musk, but there's a much, much bigger story here. It's the electrification of everything." Steen notes that China plans to use its stimulus to decarbonize, and 4,000 tonnes of copper are needed to produce enough solar panels for 1GW  of electricity. Big miners like Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton are preparing for future copper demand. In the spring the number two gold miner, Barrick Gold, said it is on the hunt for copper deals. Earlier this week Newmont's Tom Palmer told Reuters that copper would account for up to one-fifth of the metal produced by the end of the decade given its current project pipeline. Copper is currently trading at a two-year high.
