Zambia seeks to take control of Mopani

The world's No.1 miner will continue boosting its iron ore output, adding to a global glut and keeping pressure on prices.

The deals represent two ground-breaking initiatives to make Canada’s mining industry more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Federal Natural Resources Minister, Greg Rickford, argues that the federal government is taking the right steps through new legislation.

Not a typical cycle.

This would be second multi-billion dollar impairment charge Anglo takes this year on its coal and iron ore assets.

The Chamber of Mines wants the government to reconsider its decision to hike corporate income tax rate on mineral processing from 30% to 35%, which came in effect July 1.

New data by International Copper Study Group predicts copper mine output will grow 5.7 million tonnes by 2018 as Peru, Zambia and Mexico ramp up production.

It would be the first time since 2009 that Anglo has to cut dividends.

With this impairment BHP will have written down its oil and gas business by more than $4 billion since 2011.
