El Salvador lawmakers overturn mining ban Bukele called absurd
El Salvador became the first country in the world to ban all forms of metals mining in 2017.
City broker UBS says global mining firm BHP Billiton’s (LON:BLT) June production figures were slightly better than expected and gives the stock an unchanged 12 month rating of a ‘buy’ with a target price of £28.40.
The mining giant released the figures yesterday across the spectrum of its resources, including iron ore production up 14 percent year-on-year in the final quarter.
