Rio Tinto bets on Trump support for long-stalled Arizona copper mine
Rio has faced a 12-year permitting battle to develop the Resolution mine, which could meet 25% of the US domestic copper needs.
June 13 (Reuters) – Industrial explosives maker Incitec Pivot Ltd said on Wednesday its Dyno Nobel business received an explosives’ products-and-services contract with units of Fortescue Metals Group.
The contract with the two units of the world’s fourth-largest iron ore miner will last until December 2023, Incitec said.
The contract is expected to partially offset the drop in profit the company had previously forecast after losing a contract with Roy Hill Iron Ore, Incitec said.
