Brazil government kickstarts efforts to mine indigenous reserves: official
Brazil's government wants Congress to reconsider a decades-old proposal to allow mining in indigenous reserves, which occupy 13% of the country's territory.
Iron ore, molybdenum and nickel are the main commodities executives see as having the highest likelihood of depreciating in value over the next three years.
Capital expenditure in mining peaked last year, stabilized in the second half of 2012 and then plunged steeply in the March quarter, wiping almost $1.5 billion off Australia's quarterly output.
