China’s fast-growing copper champion is reshaping global metal supply
After a three-decade exploration and acquisition blitz, Zijin Mining Group is digging up gold, copper and lithium across multiple continents.
Brazilian miner Vale and state-owned development bank BNDES will create a 1 billion real ($183.6 million) fund to support local projects with minerals seen as strategic to decarbonization and the energy transition, they said on Wednesday.
In a press conference, executives from both groups said BNDES and Vale will invest up to 250 million reais each in the fund.
