Venezuela sues Bank of England for access to $1 billion in gold reserves

World's second largest gold miner ups 2015 production to 5.2m–5.5m ounces after second quarter earnings jump 30% and costs fall 14%.

Seaborne with 62% content delivered to Qingdao dropped 0.7% to $51.76 a ton, its sharpest drop in two weeks.

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

Canadian mine takes top honours but Russia and USA dominate the rankings.

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

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.

90,000 ounces per year project will start as an open-pit mine.

Despite the rosy outlook from Australia’s top iron ore producers, they are all facing staggering demand from their biggest customer — China.
