The Northern Territory Chief Minister has threatened to close Glencore's McArthur River operation if the miner does not improve its environmental practices.
“In the medium term, as renewable energy and electro-mobility agendas accelerate, the demand for copper will go up, and that is the most permanent trend,” says Chile’s Energy and Mining Minister.
As part of its climate efforts, the federal government is providing funds to Tugliq Energy to install two more wind turbines at Glencore‘s remote Raglan nickel mine.
