Copper, lithium unlikely to match gold′s gains as output rises: Goldman (SCMP)
|
|
|
Producers across the world are likely to ramp up output of commodities such as copper and lithium, limiting the kind of runaway price gains seen in gold even as markets anticipate a prolonged rally in raw materials, Goldman Sachs said.
Gold has surged to record highs, while a range of other commodities have also climbed, as governments and investors seek the perceived “insurance” value of hard assets amid geopolitical tensions and policy uncertainty, the US bank said in a report addressing what......

Trump DOJ Blocks Largest Copper, Gold, And Silver Extraction Site In The US Over Salmon, Sending Stock Tumbling
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the mining industry, the Trump administration has blocked what would have been the largest copper, gold, silver, and molybdenum extraction site in the United States, after the DOJ filed a 143-page brief late Tuesday defending the Biden Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 2023 veto of the controversial Pebble Mine project in Alaska's Bristol Bay region.

If built, the Pebble mine would produce 6.4 billion lb. of copper, 7.4 million oz of gold, and 300 lb. of molybdenum - along with 37 million ounces of silver and 200,000 kg of rhenium over 20 years, according to a 2023 economic study cited by mining.com.
The DOJ argues that the EPA correctly found that discharges from the mining operation...

BHP's Copper Pivot Pays Off With Surprise Dividend Bump, Record-High Stock Price
Shares of BHP Group, the world's largest miner, jumped to a record high in Australia after it posted earnings at the top end of Wall Street expectations. The miner's pivot into copper, aided by a surging rally in industrial metals, offset softer conditions in its iron ore unit.
BHP chief executive Mike Henry reaffirmed to investors earlier on a call that the miner is pivoting toward "future-facing" metals. In other words, he explained that the world's largest miner's shift away from operations focused on serving China's steel mills has paid off, as copper has soared.
Henry said that acquisitions began to bear fruit, as did the improvements at Escondida, the world's largest mine, all of which were helped by a record surge in the price of the industrial metal used heavily for power grids and AI-related applications.
