This week we talk about renewables, open-pit mines, and the Bronze Age.We also discuss the Cobre mine, First Quantum, and environmentalism.Recommended Book: The Possibility of Life by Jaime GreenTranscriptDepending on whose numbers you use, and where you choose to place your chronological brackets, the Chalcolithic, or Copper Age, began around 5,000 BCE, around 7,000 years ago, with the smelting of copper at high temperatures.The oldest confirmed and dated site relevant to the beginning of this age is in Serbia, though this capability seems to have been developed, independently, at various places around the world within a few thousand years of each other, including China, North America, in the Great Lakes region, and in what is today Pakistan, as well, among other locations.The process of smelting copper that was practiced in Eurasia, in what we might today call Central or Eastern Europe and Western Asia, slowly moved the continent out of the Neolithic period, which was largely defined by humanity's construction of organized settlements, widespread adoption of agriculture and animal domestication, and large-scale pivot away from nomadic, hunter-gatherer-style ways of living.Folks at that time were also getting a lot of mileage out of early ceramics and stone tools, alongside all sorts of ornaments and artworks made of these and other materials that required skill and some level of technology to use, but which didn't require metallurgy.Humans were still using a lot of stone tools during this period, then, but started to include heat-worked copper elements into their tools, as well.So the Copper Age saw the development of very basic metallurgy by many interconnected groups throughout this part of the world, and though some early writers on the subject grouped the use of copper and bronze together, defining a much larger period as the Bronze Age in an undifferentiated way, modern scholarship on the matter, beginning in the late 19th-century, breaks them apart into the earlier Copper and subsequent Bronze Ages because the manipulation and use, and often then the heavy reliance on copper tended to segue a society, eventually, toward bronze, the latter being more difficult to wield, and the former generally serving as a transitional sort of technology.And that's because copper is one of the rare metals that naturally occurs in a usable form in the Earth: so folks were using copper for a variety of purposes as far back as 8,000 BCE-ish, but we tend to use the smelting of copper as a delineation for the eponymous age, because that's when humans started to really work it, having become capable of building the technologies required to reach the requisite heat levels, and to control the metal and shape it, rather than simply finding it in its raw form and using chunks or slivers of it for decoration or weaponry-related purposes.Bronze is an alloy consisting of copper and tin, and the proper melding of these two metals makes the resulting substance, bronze, a lot more durable, resistant to environmental wear, and more capable of holding its shape: that also means it's a lot more difficult to work, if you want to make things out of it, but it also made things like armor and sword edges dramatically more effective, which is why when civilizations learned how to work it and built the infrastructure necessary to do so on scale, they tended to do pretty well, in terms of military victories and economic competition, compared to their bronze-less neighbors.Copper, though in some ways replaced by its alloys, like bronze, for many use-cases throughout history, has continued to be incredibly useful for a broad range of purposes, and what I'd like to talk about today is the closure of a copper mine in Panama, and the predicted global copper shortage we may soon face.—In the latter-half of 2022, the International Copper Study Group, or ICSG, reported that they expected a copper surplus of around 155,000 tonnes on the global market in 2023.That would represent a small surplus, as about 26 million tonnes of copper land on the international market each year, but a surplus of any kind would have been notable, following a long period of deficits, largely due to a huge amount of growth and construction throughout China, and a failure of international copper mines to produce as much marketable metal as they're theoretically capable of producing.The ICSG updated their expectation in early 2023, changing their official expected figure from a surplus of 155,000 to a deficit of 114,000 tonnes, and that's following a deficit of 431,000 tonnes in 2022.The upside of which is that the world has been demanding more copper than has been produced for a while now, and while current deficits are low compared to the record-high deficit of about 1 million tonnes in 2014, some prognosticators are saying we could see a deficit of somewhere between 1.5 million to 9.9 million tonnes by 2035, depending on how a collection of variables play out in the coming years.One major variable is how expansively and aggressively the world's governments and companies decide to invest in and deploy new, renewable energy-centric technologies and accompanying infrastructure.Copper is fundamental to the production of solar panels, electric vehicles, battery storage technologies, and even the cables that, when strung together, form our electric grids.Because of that funamentalness, copper is generally seen as being an easy bet, in terms of production investment, because it's so necessary for development and growth and building things, that—using existing technologies and systems and methods, at least—we'll always need more of it.And there is investment in copper projects around the world, including a slew of recent takeovers, like the April 2023 approval for BHP Group to buy OZ Minerals for nearly $6.4 billion, and the attempt by Swiss multinational Glencore to buy-out Canadian-owned Teck Resources for around $23 billion, which failed, but that eventually led to a separate deal for Glencore to buy Teck's steelmaking-grade coal business for around $9 billion; so Teck held on to their copper business in that deal, but that more than $20 billion price tag gives you a sense of how big this market is, and how competitive it's getting.The issue, though, is that while there's interest in this industry, and a lot of growth potential more or less baked into the way the world is going, with so many new renewables being deployed and grid systems needing to be upgraded essentially everywhere to account for more transmission of larger volumes of electricity to more locations, there's still a lack of sufficient mined copper—growth in mining volume has sputtered, and some analysts have suggested that with copper as cheap as it is, there's less appetite to invest in that side of the industry; as of September 2023, the average price of a key grade of copper was just over $8,500 per tonne, and some analysts have said the price needs to be something like $15,000 per tonne, nearly double that, in order to justify the necessary investment in mining volume capacity.Thus, we're at a moment in which we're already short of copper, we're expected to, globally, need a lot more of it very soon, but the price isn't high enough to justify expanding output, and that means we could run up against a shortage before the price reaches the point it needs to be at, which may then compound the issue for several years, until that new capacity can be built-out and come online, at which point we may be way behind on this transition, but also possibly hurting across other endeavors, as well, like making repairs to infrastructure, building new buildings, and even expanding access to fundamental services like telecommunications, because all of these things require a substantial amount of copper, which could become quite expensive for a while, if a balance isn't established, soon.That potential for a global shortage and concomitant price increase spiral is part of why news out of Panama, regarding a copper mine called the Cobre mine, is so unwelcome to many market watchers.The Cobre mine, located about 75 miles or 120 km west of Panama City and just shy of the Caribbean coast, is a huge open-pit copper mine that spans about 53 square miles or around 138 square km, and, according to many environmentalists, is severely damaging to local ecosystems, including the jungle area where it's located, and it substantially depletes local water supplies.The mine also accounts for about 1% of global copper output, somewhere between 3.5-5% of Panama's total GDP, and employs something like 8,000 people directly, and tens of thousands more, indirectly.A Canadian company called First Quantum bought the land in 2013 and started building it in 2014, and it then began operation in 2019.A concession for the land had been granted to another company by the government, and that concession was confirmed with the passing of a law in 1997.A lawsuit was brought to the country's Supreme Court in 2009, the idea being that the concession was illegal because there hadn't been a public tender on the matter—no bidding process, basically—so the concession should be deemed illegal as the process of granting it was maybe corrupt.In 2017, the Supreme Court agreed with that claim, but in 2019 when the government attempted, unsuccessfully, to basically just give a new concession similar to the old one, to make the mine and the company operating it legitimate in the eyes of the law, First Quantum was just beginning to make its first shipments of copper from the mine, and in 2021, when negotiations had finally started up for a new contract, since that 2019 attempt didn't work, the mine was already nearly at full production strength—so the realities on the ground behind all of this legal maneuvering became trickier and tricker, because not only was this company nearing full operational capacity, it was bringing in money for the government, it was employing gobs of people, and it had pretty firmly rooted itself in the region—to the chagrin of many, but also to the benefit of many, because of all that money and employment.The mine ended up closing for two weeks in late 2022, leading up to a decision by the Panamanian congress, which, in October of 2023, approved a new bill that, like the old bill that was declared unconstitutional, would allow First Quantum to keep mining copper in the area, despite the environmental issues inherent in the work they have been doing there, and the alleged corruption and non-constitutionality of the process granting them mining rights.A wave of protestors surged into the streets across the country, blocking roads and shipments and the conduct of normal business, and while there were a few skirmishes where police hit protestors with tear gas, these protests remained mostly peaceful.Protestors said they didn't think it was constitutional to approve the mine the way the government did, and that it seemed as if the president was secretively pushing something he wanted to get done, despite the contract—like its predecessor—not being valid.Then, in late November 2023, the Panamanian government ordered the mine closed, following the Supreme Court's ruling that, yes, this new bill granting the mining company concessions wasn't legal, either.We're now entering a period of uncertainty in regards to the mine's future, as there's a chance international arbiters will decide that First Quantum should receive a huge payout for their troubles and investments, or, if things were to go a different direction and they were to negotiate a new, constitutionally allowable contract, allowing the mine to start back up in some capacity, things could still be tricky, as the mine has lost around half its global market share since those huge protests began back in October.There's also a chance the Panamanian government could nationalize the mine, or that the mine will simply close forever, though that still leaves questions about what will happen to the surrounding area, much of which has been deforested or otherwise harmed by the size and open pit nature of the mine.This issue has become a big deal in Panama, as it touches on some touchy subjects, like alleged corruption by politicians—it was assumed by many that the president and his government were behaving corruptly in this matter, because the payout the government would receive from the Canadian mining company was considered to be quite small, compared to what the company would take—but also environmentalist issues, which have become increasingly vital at a moment in which much of the wealthy world is attempting to shift their raw material needs, especially those that come with environmental damage, overseas.And some poorer nations are attempting to fight that shift, but with mixed results, as in some cases those raw materials provide them with much of their export-related wealth, as is the case in Panama, where something like 80% of its exports reportedly came from this mine.There are also issues of international concern here, though, because of those aforementioned global copper needs and how the surge of investment in renewables and accompanying infrastructure and technologies require a lot of raw materials like copper, but also lithium, cobalt, and other such metals and elements.The conflict, then, is that there's still an imbalance here, as although some nations might be able to flip the switch on mining some of these newly desirable materials and selling them to wealthier nations, become something like the next-stage of a petro-state, there are also valid concerns related to the killing-off of local ecosystems and flora and fauna, in pursuit of what amounts, through the eyes of some, to a quick buck.Is it worth attaining some amount of money if you have to trade the environmental well-being of your country to do so?That's the question Panama has asked itself, and it has apparently decided in favor of its environment, though this is a question many other people in many other places are asking themselves right now, too, and their answers will further inform how this global transition plays out, and what sorts of trade-offs will or will not be made in the process.Show

Minerals 260, a member of the Tim Goyder stable, was spun out of lithium success story Liontown Resources. The idea was to put all the non-lithium assets in a new company. But as things have turned out, Minerals 260 now boasts a compelling lithium exploration project near the big Delta lithium project in WA. But the story certainly doesn't stop here, with new chief executive Luke McFadyen on the march in search of growth. The former Oz Minerals exec is a man in a hurry with a big appetite for action. In this podcast, he explains what he is looking for and how he is going about it. ---- Produced by Resource Media ---- The Hole Truth is a product of Read Corporate.

In New York overnight, markets had a strong run with all three major benchmarks closing with strong gains. The Dow Jones and the S&P500 both had their best session since January, closing 1.6% and 1.96% higher respectively. Meanwhile the Nasdaq rallied 2.43% higher, as strong results from Meta Platforms boosted tech-related companies. Meta shares leapt 14%, after the company reported quarterly revenue that topped expectations, and issued a positive forecast. European markets were also in the green, as strong corporate earnings overcame the concerns around the US banking sector. What to watch today:The Australian market is set to jump 0.75% at the open this morning, following Wall Street's advance. In commodities, Oil is trading higher, after losing nearly 6% in the past two sessions, as recession fears and renewed concerns about the banking sector outweighed falling US inventories and the prospect of weaker global supplies. The US oil benchmark also gave up all the gains from earlier this month when OPEC+ announced a surprise production cut.Gold is at its lowest level in over three weeks with a rebound in risk sentiment and expectations of tighter monetary policy from the Fed. And iron ore prices fell under US$110 per tonne, the lowest since December, as a demand downturn rom steel makers risked the oversupply of iron ore. Quarterly reports from the following companies are set to be released today, so keep watch of the share price movements of these stocks. These include Coles (ASX:COL), IGO (ASX:IGO), Mirvac Group (ASX:MGR), Origin Energy (ASX:ORG), Oz Minerals (ASX:OZL), ResMed (ASX:RMD) and Volpara Health Technologies (ASX:VHT). Trading Ideas: Bell Potter have a Speculative Buy rating on PointsBet Holdings (ASX:PBH), after a recent media report suggested the company could be considering a potential sale of its US business for around US$500 million. Bell Potter says the value looks reasonable or even conservative if other media reports are accurate. The company has also considered the potential sale of its Australian business for around AUD $250 million. Bell Potter have increased their valuation from $2.75 to $3.00, and at the stock's current share price of $1.65, this implies 81.8% share price growth in a year.Trading Central have identified a bearish signal in Austal (ASX:ASB) indicating that the stock price may fall from the close of $1.65 to the range of $1.46 - $1.50 over 18 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis. 

US equities kicked off earnings week on a positive note, with all three major benchmarks making gains overnight, in fact, all three benchmarks closed 0.3% higher. US financials will be in focus this week with the Bank of America reporting tonight and Morgan Stanley reporting on Wednesday. Investors have been keeping a close eye on the banking sector after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank last month. European markets closed mixed. Germany's Dax, France's CAC and the STOXX 600 were all lower, while the FTSE 100 rose just 0.1% by the close. What to watch today:The Australian market is set to open 0.23% lower this morning, according to the SPI futures. BHP's (ASX:BHP) takeover of OZ Minerals (ASX:OZL) was approved yesterday and will be finalised in early May. In December last year, OZ Minerals announced that it had entered a Scheme Implementation Deed with BHP. The implementation date is May 2nd, when BHP will pay $26.50 per OZL share as the Scheme Consideration, and OZ Minerals will pay $1.75 per OZL share as a fully franked special dividend. In economic data, today the RBA's meeting minutes will be released at 11:30am AEST, which will provide some insights into the meeting when the central bank decided to hold the cash rate steady for the first time in 10 months. And attention this week will be on China's gross domestic product report on Tuesday and UK CPI numbers on Wednesday. In commodities, The oil price is trading over 2% lower, as concerns mounted that further rate hikes from the Fed will hurt growth even more. However, also note that GDP growth data for China that is due to be released tomorrow, which should offer some relief for a fall in oil demand. Gold is 0.4% lower as investors continue to assess the monetary policy outlook. Iron ore is trading flat. Auckland International Airport (ASX:AIA) and Hub24 (ASX:HUB) are set to release quarterly reports today, so keep watch of those share price movements today. Trading Ideas:Bell Potter have initiated coverage on Brickworks (ASX:BKW) with a buy rating. BKW is a building materials and property developer. Bell Potter says that on face value, the company looks reasonably priced relative to listed peers, however, a high presence of equity accounting masks what is relatively low-cost exposure to a residential housing recovery, with BKW's core Building Products business trading at an approximately 11% discount to the peer group. Bell Potter's price target is $27.00. At the stock's current share price of $23.56, this implies 14.6% share price growth in a year. Trading Central have identified a bullish signal on Core Lithium (ASX:CXO) indicating that the stock price may rise from the close of $0.93 to the range of $1.12 to $1.16 over 17 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis.

In many geoscience communities, the topic of declining enrollments globally across the discipline is very worrying.  How can we demonstrate to the public the critical role earth science plays in supporting well-being of both human society and ecological systems?  This episode highlights inspiring stories from three continents in the southern hemisphere – all early career scientists who are engaging with the public, running education programs for students, conducting interviews and more.  What do all three have in common?  They are passionate and curious, not afraid to ask questions or step out of their comfort zones, and willing to work on their own time.  Join us and get inspired!Irene Del Real used her major international L'Oréal award as a springboard, building on opportunities given to her to extend her reach. She regularly gives interviews on CNN Chile and presents at public forums, including a recent major science conference in Santiago.  She is currently writing a book on the history of metals and human society and is an assistant professor at Universidad Austral de Chile in Valdivia.  We talked to her about what resonates with her audience and how she develops her messaging. After his village was hit by a devastating earthquake in 2016, George Rwegoshora, who was then a second-year university student, decided that he could help provide information and educate his community about earthquakes.  He since graduated, worked in coal mines for 3 years and then in 2021 founded the Afrikagera Geological Center in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. As the Executive Director, he works with a group of 18 scientists to develop educational programs for students.  These include classroom and field excursions, covering a range of topics, including mineral resources.Combining her passion for geoscience and earth history with communication seems to come naturally for Holly Cooke, but her success really comes from the hours put in on her own time creating content and designing programs.  Holly is a student geologist with Oz Minerals and an outreach officer with the Nexus Program in South Australia. She is an articulate and excellent communicator.  She seized on an opportunity to bring high school students into the South Australia drill core library, giving them a hands on tour of the geological history of South Australia, and creating opportunities for informal challenging conversations.Theme music is Confluence by Eastwindseastwindsmusic.comSEG 2023, the Society of Economic Geologists flagship conference is August 26-29th, 2023 in London England. The conference will address the major challenges presented by the accelerated consumption of energy transition and other strategic metals. The context is global, but with a spotlight on Europe.

We're back, baby! For the first episode of Buy Hold Sell for 2023, we're taking a look at Livewire readers' favourite small-caps stocks for the year ahead... And what a list it is.  Think a rare earth miner which boasts Australia's richest billionaire as a major investor, a tech darling that has taken a painful dive from its highs, and a stock next in line for the lithium throne.  There's also the only true copper play on the ASX after BHP and OZ Minerals' $9.6 billion deal, and, of course, another lithium hopeful because, as this anonymous writer has penned before, if there is one thing Livewire readers love more than dividends and long-term compounders (and don't forget long-term compounders with growing dividends), it's lithium stocks. In this episode, Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by Marcus Today's Henry Jennings and Medallion Financial's Michael Wayne for their analysis of these tantalising small-cap stocks.  And just in case they were not a fan of readers' top picks, we also asked them to name the small cap they believe should have made the top five instead.  Note: This episode was filmed on Wednesday 24th January 2023.

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. 

Friday 23 December 2022 BHP set to buy Oz Minerals for $9.6 billion, creating a major copper and nickel producer in Australia.  Also today: An internal review of the Liberal's Party's poor showing in the May election says it is no longer fit for purpose China-Australia talks expand to include trade ministers And Justin Bieber gets upset about how retailers use his image Plus don't miss the latest episode of How Do They Afford That?

Coffee with Samso Episode 166 is with Mike Haynes, Managing Director and CEO of New World Resources Limited (ASX:NWC).   Just over 12 months ago, we had New World Resources Limited (ASX:NWC) with us talking about the Antler VMS project. This story has now moved onto the Scoping Study stage with a new resource.   Investors in the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) are struggling to find a decent copper story. The last company that was not considered a major has now been taken over and that was Oz Minerals Limited (ASX: OZL). Oz Minerals was no minnow so there is a big gap in the market.   The next level brings Sandfire Resources Limited (ASX: SFR) into the discussion. Aeris Resources Limited (ASX: AIS) is another "small" copper producer on this scale. From here, the discussion pretty much ends.   Here lies the opportunity to look at companies that have a long life and the potential to make that dream come true.

The materials sector led the charge, closing the day more than 1.66% higher on the back of mining giant BHP (ASX:BHP) releasing record results for FY22, which in-turn caused OZ Minerals (ASX:OZL) shares to lift 1.3%.

Week two of the August reporting period saw QBE deliver a strong first half result that suggests upside in both valuation and earnings, with strong top line momentum and above-inflation premium rises a feature.The big banks in CBA and NAB didn't quite deliver, however, with cost pressures a thematic that are likely to play out over the next 1-2 years across the sector. Net Interest Margins, though, are set to expand in the coming quarter as Australia's banks take full advantage of RBA rate hikes. But the biggest news this week may well have come from a company which is yet to report, with BHP's stunning $8.3bn takeover offer for Oz Minerals' rejected outright. Is there merit in a combination? Is a higher offer in the works? Brad Potter, Tyndall AM's Head of Australian Equities, discusses this and more in episode two of the August 2022 4-Minute Monday podcast.

"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.

Our local market closed 0.13% higher yesterday as communication services and tech stocks advanced the most. Energy stocks also rallied yesterday, following the news that OZ Minerals (ASX:OZL) rejected BHP's takeover bid. Copper and lithium stocks also gained, with Lake Resources (ASX:LKE) closing the trading session more than 15% higher. LKE was followed by Megaport (ASX:MP1), which released solid full-year results. Meanwhile, Imugene (ASX:IMU) and NAB declined the most.The major miners were the most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients. These were Lake Resources (ASX:LKE), BHP Group (ASX:BHP), Fortescue Metals (ASX:FMG) and Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS). In global markets, investors are trading cautiously as we wait on US inflation data. July's US consumer price index data will be released at 10:30pm AEST today. European and US equities closed lower as investors assess the potential pace of the US Fed's monetary policy tightening. The next Fed meeting isn't until September; however tonight's inflation figures will give us an indication of what to expect. In Europe, the STOXX 600 ended 0.6% lower with tech stocks leading the losses. And over in New York, the Dow Jones was down 0.2%, the S&P500 down 0.4% and the Nasdaq down 1.2%. What to watch today:The Australian market is set to fall 0.56% at the open this morning, going by the SPI futures.  In commodities, Oil is trading in the red, around US$90 per barrel, as investors weigh the potential for additional supply from Iran against the suspension of Russian oil exports. So as oil softens, watch energy producers such as Beach Energy (ASX:BPT) and Santos (ASX:STO). The price of gold however is trading higher, as investors continue to bid on the safe-haven metal as concerns around a US recession and geopolitical tensions weigh on the market. Some gold stocks to watch include Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) and Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST). Iron ore is also higher, around US$113 a tonne. The price has rebounded after hitting its seven-month low at US$100.  Commonwealth Bank (ASX:CBA), Computershare (ASX:CPU), Dexus (ASX:DXI) and Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) will be releasing their results today. For CBA, Citi are expecting NPAT to be $9,578 million while consensus is lower at $9,282 million. Currently, Citi have a Sell rating on CBA with a price target of $90.75, and Morgan Stanley came out yesterday with an Underweight rating and a price target of $82. And watch out for Bell Direct's coverage on CBA's results later today. Trading Ideas:Bell Potter maintain a Buy rating on Coronado Global Resources (ASX:CRN) after the company reported its half-year results yesterday. NPAT came in at US$562 million, above Bell Potter's estimate of $522 million. The company also declared an ordinary interim dividend of US 7.5cps, higher than Bell Potter's estimated US 6cps. CRN also maintained their guidance outlook, which includes a strong half in coal output. The broker increased their price target from $1.95 to $2.05, and at CRN's current share price of $1.60, this implies 28.1% share price growth in a year. Trading Central have identified a bearish signal in AGL Energy (ASX:AGL), indicating that the stock price may fall from the close of $8.47 to the range of $7.75 to $7.90 over 17 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis.

Yesterday, the Aussie share market started the new trading week in the green, with a very small gain of 0.1%. Leading the market was the energy, materials, and utilities sectors, all up over 1.4%. Weighing on the market however was the consumer discretionary, real estate and industrials sectors, which were all down more than 1%. Looking at the ASX200 leaderboard, OZ Minerals (ASX:OZL) jumped 35.3% following BHP's takeover bid, which OZL rejected as its board believes the offer significantly undervalues the company. Lake Resources (ASX:LKE) continues to rise, up nearly 16% yesterday, despite no news out from the company. Supportive factors include that the price of lithium still trades near record highs. The biggest decliners yesterday included Suncorp (ASX:SUN), Magellan Financial Group (ASX:MFG) and Credit Corp Group (ASX:CCP). The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients yesterday included Lake Resources (ASX:LKE), Sayona Mining (ASX:SYA), Zip Co (ASX:ZIP), as well as OZ Minerals (ASX:OZL).Moving to the US, the market was mixed. The Dow Jones managed to post a small gain of 0.09%, while the S&P500 and Nasdaq were both down around 0.1%. Putting pressure on the market was  tech company, Nvidia, which announced weaker-than-expected revenue for the second quarter, which consequently impacted semiconductor stocks. And some clean energy shares lifted after the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes billions of dollars aimed at addressing climate change. What to watch today:Our local market is expected to open lower, down 0.12%, in line with the mixed US session.In economic news, both the NAB business confidence for July and the Westpac consumer confidence for August will be released today.In company reports, today we'll hear from Megaport (ASX:MP1), Coronado Global Resources (ASX:CRN), News Corp (ASX:NWS) and REA Group (ASX:REA). Bell Potter forecasts REA's NPAT to come in at $404 million, while consensus is a bit more modest at $411.2m, and consensus expects CRN's NPAT to come in at $430m. Keep watch of these stocks today to see if their results are in line with expectations. Keep watch of NAB today as the company will be releasing a third quarter trading update. Moving to commodities, oil prices lifted after positive economic data was released out of China. The gold price also gained following a pullback in the US dollar and US Treasury Yields, while the spot iron ore price traded slightly lower at US$112 a tonne. Trading Ideas:Bell Potter have downgraded its rating on OZ Minerals (ASX:OZL) from a Buy to a Hold. Bell Potter views BHP's proposal to takeover OZ Minerals (ASX:OZL) as offering competitive value but likely to be improved. However, the risk-adjusted potential upside is insufficient for Bell Potter to maintain a Buy rating, therefore the downgrade to a Hold, with a strategy to see through to the completion of an all-cash acquisition of OZL at the current offer price or higher. Bell Potter has made no changes to their earnings forecasts and have increased their price target by 2% to match the current offer price of $25.00 per share. Trading Central has a bearish signal on Data3 (ASX:DTL) indicating that the stock price may fall from the close of $6.21 to the range of $4.40 - $4.70 in the next 19 days according to standard principals of technical analysis.

With cost of living pressures increasing, SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves speaks with CommSec Chief Economist Craig James to find out the latest moves in food and petrol prices; plus banking and insurance company Suncorp has warned that home insurance premiums are set to continue rising because of incresing claim costs from wild weather and inflation, so Finder Insurance Expert Tim Bennett explains what you can do about insurance costs; plus Julia Lee from SPDR ETF State Street looks at the day on the markets including why Oz Minerals rejected a $8.4bn takeover offer from BHP

General Advice only

It's a day that will be remembered for BHP's move to acquire Oz Minerals rather than corporate earnings. The local market inched up 0.07% to 7021, boosted by strong gains across the materials and energy sectors. M&A activity, along with a lessening of global recession concerns following Friday's big US employment beat, clearly benefitting the mining space. Oz Minerals was the standout performer, soaring 35% after swatting away BHP's initial approach. Curiously, Sandfire Resources was also in demand, climbing 7%. Lithium plays Lake Resources and Liontown rose 16% and 7% respectively, while Fortescue Metals jumped 4.6% following a large bounce in Chinese iron ore futures. The gains across resources helped to offset a weaker performance from other sectors, most notably consumer discretionary and REITs; the former reacting to similar moves in US retailers on Friday while the latter was undermined by another big increase in global bond yields. At the individual level, Suncorp and Aurizon were both marked down following the release of their full-year results, falling 4.3% and 3.5% respectively to sit near the foot of the scoreboard. Newscorp slid 3.1% ahead of its results tomorrow. Results from REA Group, Megaport and Coronado Global Resources headline the domestic reporting season calendar tomorrow. The NAB will also release a quarterly trading update.Our top three VODs:BHP must up its offer for Oz Minerals: Jennings'Buying' trending small cap sectors: uranium, gaming and Esports Food price inflation a plus for supermarkets See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Our local market closed 0.6% higher on Friday, with materials advancing the most as gold miners extended gains, while energy stocks fell alongside a drop in the oil price. NOVONIX (ASX:NVX) jumped 13.7% and was followed by miners including Liontown Resources (ASX:LTR), Ramelius Resources (ASX:RMS), Silver Lake Resources (ASX:SLR) and Core Lithium (ASX:CXO). Stocks that declined the most on Friday were Megaport (ASX:MP1) and Block (ASX:SQ2).The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients on Friday were BHP Group (ASX:BHP), Lake Resources (ASX:LKE) and Whitehaven Coal (ASX:WHC). European stocks closed lower with the STOXX 600 closing down 0.8%. Most sectors were in negative territory, with tech stocks down the most, falling 2.4%. A strong US jobs report came in in the US, however it wasn't quite enough to pull markets higher, as the three major benchmarks closed mixed. The labour market added more jobs in July than was expected, and the US unemployment rate dropped to 3.5%, while wage growth rose 5.2% higher than a year ago, signalling that high inflation is still a key concern. The Dow Jones closed just 0.2% higher, while the S&P500 fell 0.2%, and the Nasdaq dropped 0.5%. What to watch today:Following the US, the Australian market is set to open flat this morning. OZ Minerals (ASX:OZL) rejected a takeover proposal by BHP for $8.34 billion, undervaluing the gold and copper miner. The offer was made on Friday – it was a $25 per share offer which was a 32% premium to the stock's last close. So, watch the share price movements of BHP and OZL today.  Reporting season is picking up this week with quite a few companies releasing their earnings results. This morning, rail freight operator Aurizon Holdings (ASX:AZJ) and Suncorp (ASX:SUN) both published their full year results. SUN delivered group NPAT of $681 million, down 34%, impacted by volatile investment markets and elevated natural hazard costs. Home lending was up 9% or $4.1 billion. And SUN announced a final fully franked ordinary dividend of 17 cents per share, representing a 75% payout ratio. AZJ's underlying EBITDA was only 1% lower than the prior comparable period. Cashflow increased 13%, and AZJ announced a final dividend of 10.9 cents per share fully franked. In commodities, the price of oil is lower, heading for an over 9% weekly loss and wiping out the gains triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Gold is also trading lower as markets react to a strong payroll report in the US. And iron ore continues to drop around worries of China's ropery crisis and steel production cuts. Trading Ideas:Citi have a Buy rating on City Chic Collective (ASX:CCX) with a price target of $3.00. They see potential for long duration international growth underpinned by market share gains. The expected share price return is 35.7%. Trading Central have identified a bullish signal in Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG), indicating that the stock price may rise from the close of $0.30 to the range of $0.34 - $0.35 over 41 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis. 

Flat as a tack. That's what the local market was today. Investors face a deluge of information this week – on the corporate and economic front, both domestically and abroad. So - the ASX200 closed a paltry 0.02% lower. Materials lifted, so did utilities. A drop in the NASDAQ after poor tech earnings on Friday pushed our tech sector down 1.5%. Healthcare also dropped 1%. Quarterly results and updates are dripping into the market. Oz Minerals downgraded its copper and gold production guidance, as well as its cost guidance. Its shares dropped 3.7%. Flight Centre upped its profit guidance. Its shares jumped 3%. South32 delivered its production guidance in line with expectations and its shares edged 0.8% higher. The biggest laggard was EML Payments (again) after the company released an update on its dealings with the Central Bank of Ireland, with the central bank not satisfied with the company's forced remediation program. IAG shares were the market leader, trading up nearly 6%. There's not much on the calendar tonight. Investors await quarterly results of Apple, Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft as the week unfolds, along with an FOMC meeting on Thursday.Our top three VODs:Gleaning an outlook from mining quarter reportsFrom CPI to US earnings; how to prepare for the week aheadTrends, key levels and attractive alts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

 BHP has been sucking up to 42 million litres of water per day out of the Great Artesian Basin for its giant Olympic Dam underground copper and uranium mine since 1988. There is increasing awareness that pumping so much water from the great artesian basin is unsustainable.  But BHP is a very thirsty beast, and is looking to find an alternative water source through the Water Supply Project, a partnership between the South Australian Government, OZ Minerals, BHP and SA Water.

Splat! That was an unpleasant end to the week, mirroring the ugly price action on Wall Street overnight. Record highs will have to wait for another day. Finding green on screen was as difficult as finding hen's teeth with most sectors finishing deep in the red. Materials skidded 3.3% while energy and information technology shed 2.5% apiece. Megaport slumped another 11% after tanking over 20% Thursday. It was not a good day for non-profitable companies with Paladin, Pointsbet, Square and Zip slumping more 4% or more. Oz Minerals lost 6.6% following a disappointing quarterly update. Endeavor topped the leader board, adding 2.1%. Plenty need a drink following a day like this. Quality names outperformed with CSL, Goodman Group, Coles and Transurban closing higher. The S&P/ASX 200 fell 119.5 points, or 1.57%, to close at 7473.3. For the week it lost 0.67%.Our top three VODs:Despite the soap opera Twitter will end up in Tesla's hands: IvesFinding buying opportunities as bond yields skyrocketBreakout or bust for these crucial market indicators See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode of Mining Green, Brett speaks to Graeme Stanway (from State of Play) about the Electric Mine Consortium. State of Play was one of the founding members of the Electric Mine Consortium back in 2020.   The Electric Mine Consortium was set up as a collaboration between a number of different mining companies, OEMs, and technology providers to help facilitate the transition to an electric mine. The mining companies include the likes of Goldfields, South32, OZ Minerals, Evolution, Newcrest, Blackstone Minerals, along with OEMs such as Sandvik, Epiroc, ZERO Automotive, and some other tech suppliers such as Energy Vault.   Electric Mine Consortium is made up of six different working groups. These are energy storage, mine design, heavy underground equipment, light and auxiliary equipment for underground, and electric infrastructure, and the newest one being surface and long haulage.   More info on the Electric Mine Consortium can be found on their website here: https://www.electricmine.com/   We covered a lot of ground in the interview with Graeme, particularly around what the Electric Mine Consortium is doing and why. However, we also covered some bigger questions, such as switching perceptions of the mining industry through decarbonisation. Below is a list of the topics we covered in the interview. Why was the Electric Mine Consortium formed? How are the 6 Electric Mine Consortium working packages progressing? What are the schedules/timelines for these different working packages? How does the Electric Mine Consortium operate? How is it funded? How were the working packages decided? Would government funding help achieve your goals faster? Fostering innovative thinking/collaboration between mining companies Why are members joining the Electric Mine Consortium? Applying carbon pricing in studies Onsite technology trials Learning from the Canadian experience & other overseas electric operations Rethinking mining for electric mining Electric Mine Consortium foundation members & organic member growth Future of the Electric Mine Consortium Areas outside of the Electric Mine Consortium's current working groups (processing etc) Decarbonisation of the mining industry. Is there an appetite for it? Switching perceptions of the mining industry Carbon metrics   More details on what was covered in the interview can be found on our blog post here: https://www.inspiritconsult.com.au/graeme-stanway-electric-mine-consortium   The interview can also be watched on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/oicslcwKznA   Links: Interview blog post https://www.inspiritconsult.com.au/graeme-stanway-electric-mine-consortium Electric Mine Consortium https://www.electricmine.com/ You can also download their latest report "Electric Mine Consortium: A Case Study on Transformative Collaboration" from this page Inspirit Consulting https://www.inspiritconsult.com.au/ Mining Green on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Mining-Green-108027108520682 Mining Green on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/mining-green/   On the Mining Green podcast, we share inspiring stories of how the mining industry is leading the way to a net-zero future.

In this episode, we chat with Michele Ash again who appeared back in April 2019 (Ep 22). She is about to join OZ Minerals in a newly created role as a technology executive which will involve work around digital, robotics and automation, mining technology, and transformation Michelle talks about how the industry is using robotic mining now and will do so in the future. As well as the subjects of using small swarm robots to mine and using blockchain as a way to drive exploration investment. KEY TAKEAWAYS If the industry wants to lower costs, drive zero-carbon, and improve people´s lives it has to embrace technology fast. Robots can solve 5 broad problems for the mining industry. In the podcast, Michelle explains what they are and how robots will help. Finding every last scrap of a resource is essential. Especially copper, which we desperately need to decarbonise. Technology will help. Automation creates data that the industry can use to better understand and improve processes as well as solve more of its problems. Robots make mines safer, for example, barring and blast robots. Automated technology has the potential to make mining more precise, reducing waste and impact. When mines are more productive, more people will be needed to process the ore and to maintain the robotics. Free robotic repair and technology courses are now widely available, including online. The industry must not grab technology then look for a problem to solve with it. How the industry applies risk is slowing the adaption of technology down. Michelle explains why in the podcast. Working on technological solutions collaboratively with other companies greatly reduces the cost. BEST MOMENTS ‘Mining touches every person on the planet, every day. ´ ‘There are 5 broad problems the mining industry is trying to solve… all of which robotics can help with.' ‘Flipping from focusing on the technology to focusing on the problem will be really important.'

The lockdowns in NSW and Victoria drove a 1.9% contraction in the economy for the third quarter, which was less than the 2.7% decline expected.

They say from little things, big things grow. And that is certainly true for Australian companies. But on every company's way to the top, they have to pass through a funny little area in the middle. Ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce to you - the mid-cap universe. These companies may not have the same balance sheet strength as names at the top of the market, and may not be the pocket rocket growers down the bottom, but according to Lonsec's Peter Green, this diverse equity class deserves a spot in your portfolio, particularly when considering downside protection.  Mid-caps embrace companies between 100 and 51 on the ASX-100 index and have been some of the best performers over the last twelve months. Thanks to companies including Oz Minerals and Nine Entertainment (up 151% and 102% respectively), investors have been pleasantly surprised as this equity class shot up around 30% over the last twelve months. As the market continues to rally, will the fertilising ground for these Aussie zingers turned large caps follow suit? According to Bruce Williams and Catherine Allfrey, we may be approaching the end of the stellar run. In this thematic episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire Markets' Bella Kidman sits down with Bruce and Catherine to talk all things midcaps, where they're seeing opportunity in the space. Plus, they'll share one mid-cap stock that has been misunderstood by the market.  Note: This episode was filmed on 9 June 2021.

Our weekly Nickel Market Insights with Mark Selby, Nickel Market Commentator and CEO of Canada Nickel Company (TSX-V: CNC) will help you stay ahead. Stay up to date by listening to our weekly market roundup on Nickel. So, what events have transpired in the exciting world of nickel this week? Price movements are at the top of the list: nickel has gone from a low of c. US$11,000/t up to US$13,430/t today. It did actually hit a peak of US$13,512/t last week, but Selby attributes this to nickel trading in synergy with some momentum drivers around the Shanghai Index. Just as the nickel price was starting to recede, Elon Musk, the figure of ultimate encouragement for nickel/battery metals investors, has told nickel miners to produce as more nickel in his quarterly call. He's clearly gearing up to go big and kickstart the EV revolution in style. After launching the mid-tier Model 3, Musk needs this to be the cash cow for his company. Many have regarded Tesla stock as immensely overvalued given sales figures, but the c. $35,000 Model 3 could be a real gamechanger, building on the success of the Model S and Model X; I'll hold off on the Cybertruck for now. Major subsidisation packages in Europe alongside European vehicle manufacturers investing €250B in EV infrastructure, and the Chinese EV space needing to be rejuvenated are both reasons for nickel producers to be accelerating their production timeframes. After touching on some of the macro thematics beneath the surface of the nickel space, such as the immense difficulties surrounding the production of the huge amount of nickel that may be needed in the next decade, we touch on one of our favourite gold production stories, Karora Resources (TSX: KRR). Selby is already an expert on the Dumont Nickel-Cobalt Project, having developed and de-risked it substantially during his tenure of CEO of RNC Minerals. Karora Resources has sold its remaining interest in Dumont (28%) to Waterton for some cash upfront and a residual payout based on a future sale. The 3 low-grade, bulk-tonnage, advanced nickel projects have all been acquired in the last 6 weeks. BHP, OZ Minerals and Waterton have all moved to secure projects early. Is this a major sign of things to come? Time to pile into nickel? Company page: https://canadanickel.com/ Explore More Here: cruxinvestor.comJoin our Club's waitlist: club.cruxinvestor.com For FREE unbiased investment information, follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook: https://twitter.com/cruxinvestor https://www.linkedin.com/company/crux-investor/ https://www.facebook.com/cruxinvestor  If you got value from this interview, please subscribe.
