Tsingshan plans another 50,000t nickel LME listing this year

The US Treasury Department gave automakers additional flexibility on battery mineral requirements for EV tax credits on some minerals from China, such as graphite.

The proposed $39 billion combination has more than enough components to trigger intense oversight by regulators concerned about implications for market concentration and access to key minerals.

Miners like Zijin Mining, China Minmetals and others are likely to examine closely a deal that creates the world’s top copper producer, Bloomberg says.

Zijin will grant Pan American a life-of-mine gold net smelter return royalty of 1.5%.

The International Copper Study Group has cut its forecast supply surplus for this year due to much lower-than-expected mine production.

It is the first time this has happened in any month in more than four years.

China's copper producers are planning to export up to 100,000 metric tons of metal, the largest volume in 12 years.

One measure under consideration is a trilateral arrangement through which the Philippines would supply raw nickel material, the US would provide financing, and a third country would offer the technology required for smelting and refining.

Tietto, which is Australian listed and headquartered, produces gold from its Abujar project in Ivory Coast.
