A Chilean court on Friday authorized authorities to use force to remove striking workers from a desalination plant serving Capstone Copper’s Mantoverde copper and gold mine, escalating a labor dispute hours after workers voted to reject the company’s latest contract offer.Employees at Mantoverde rejected a revised proposal presented by the company that included final payments equivalent to about $17,400 per member and a 1% wage adjustment, meaning their strike launched at the beginning of this month would continue.With just 14% of eligible employees voting, they overwhelmingly opted to reject the offer, according to the union. The group alleged the offer worsened terms compared with a prior proposal and described it as an anti-union maneuver.It also said workers had just received an annual bonus that would help sustain a prolonged walkout, putting the payment at about 2.2 times monthly salary per worker.The legal fight has focused on Mantoverde’s desalination plant on the coast, roughly 40 km from the mine, which supplies water used by the operation.Capstone has said that on the evening of January 18, individuals entered the desalination facility while workers were inside, and interference with the plant’s electrical system led to an interruption in water supply to Mantoverde.The company has said striking union members were preventing access has said those occupying the plant are a minority group of employees and not backed by the union.Capstone has warned the water disruption forced it to rely on on-site reserves for essential services and temporarily halt parts of operations, including sulphide processing, with additional stoppages possible if water could not be restored.Chile’s labor authority is readying a case against the company over alleged anti-union practices, according to the union, including illegal replacement of striking workers. Union representatives have also met with outgoing President Gabriel Boric to ask for his help in restarting negotiations with the company.(By Fabian Cambero and Kylie Madry; Editing by Cassandra Garrison and Sarah Morland)

Chilean authorities gear up to remove workers from Mantoverde plant as strike continues

Capstone Copper Corp resumed operations at its Mantoverde copper and gold mine in northern Chile, even as a strike by a labor union representing nearly 22% of its workforce continued, the Canadian miner said on Monday.The company, in an Australian exchange filing dated February 1, reiterated it expects to continue operations at a level between 50% to 75% of normal production during the strike.Shares of Capstone’s Australia-listed depositary receipts fell as much as 4.5% to A$15.810 on the day, their lowest level since January 23.The decision to resume operations follows a Chilean court ruling last week authorizing the forced removal of striking workers from a desalination plant supplying water to the mine, a key resource for day-to-day operations.The strike began in January after negotiations over new labor contracts with Union No. 2 of Mantoverde broke down. Unionized workers rejected the company’s latest payment offer, leading to the ongoing impasse.Capstone said it remains open to further dialogue with the union as it seeks to resolve the dispute.Union No. 2 at Capstone Copper’s Mantoverde mine is the largest labor union on site, representing around 645 workers, which corresponds to roughly 50% of the mine’s direct workforce. It is the union leading the strike.The conflict centers on Mantoverde’s desalination plant on the coast, located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the mine.The company reported that on the evening of January 18, individuals entered the desalination facility, interfering with the plant’s electrical system and causing an interruption in water supply.The water shortage forced the mine to rely on on-site reserves, halt parts of its operations including sulphide processing, and warn further shutdowns could occur if the situation persisted.Chile, the world’s top copper producer, has grappled with deepening droughts that have forced Santiago to consider unprecedented water rationing.The shortages have intensified long‑standing tensions over water use as miners – traditionally dependent on continental sources like lakes, rivers and reservoirs – compete for supplies needed to power copper smelting.In 2025, Mantoverde produced 62,308 tons of copper concentrate and 32,807 tons of copper cathodes, about 0.4% of global production.Capstone owns a 70% stake in Mantoverde, with Japan’s Mitsubishi Materials holding the remaining 30%.(By Kumar Tanishk; Editing by Diane Craft and Chris Reese)

British firm Binding Solutions has signed an agreement with a unit of Japanese trading house Mitsui &amp; Co to turn iron ore in Western Australia’s huge Pilbara region into low-carbon pellets, Binding Solutions said on Monday.The privately held company says its technology cuts energy and CO2 emissions in the production of iron ore pellets compared to the established method.Binding Solutions has signed a memorandum of understanding with Mitsui Iron Ore Development over the production of cold agglomerated pellets, a statement said, which use less energy to make than conventional pellets.Its CEO Jon Stewart said the progress it had already made working with MIOD to develop the pellets from Pilbara, the world’s largest iron ore producing region, creates “a significant additional market opportunity” for the firm.Under the preliminary agreement, Binding Solutions will use its technology to turn lower-grade “fines” iron ore material from the Pilbara into pellets, which command a price premium.Mitsui has investments in Pilbara iron ore operations with major producers BHP and Rio Tinto.Binding Solutions has had industrial trials with British Steel and with Germany’s Salzgitter, and is seeking to build an industrial-scale plant.Iron ore fines have to go through a process called sintering, which uses very high temperatures and is usually highly polluting, before they can be used in a blast furnace.Pellets are also in demand because they can be used in electric arc furnaces, which many steelmakers are switching to in a drive to cut carbon emissions.In February last year, Mitsui said it would acquire a 40% stake in the Rio Tinto-operated Rhodes Ridge iron ore project in Western Australia for $5.34 billion.(By Eric Onstad; Editing by Jan Harvey)

Kazakh gold miner Solidcore Resources said on Friday it expects its gold output to rise 37% to 540,000 ounces of gold equivalent in 2026, after a fall last year.The company’s 2025 gold equivalent production was down by 19% year-on-year to 395,000 oz., below its guidance of 420,000 oz.Solidcore said its gold equivalent sales in 2025 amounted to 412,000 oz., down 23% year-on-year. But revenue increased by 13% to $1.5 billion, driven by higher gold prices which compensated for the lower sales.(By Anastasia Lyrchikova; Editing by Mark Trevelyan)

Impala Platinum said on Friday its refined platinum group metal (PGM) output was stable at 1.78 million ounces during the first half of its financial year, but revenue rose 40%, helped by firmer metal prices.Prices of major PGMs have rebounded since the second half of 2025, driving Impala’s sales revenue to 33,250 rand ($2,092.08) per ounce during the six months to December 2025, from 23,831 rand an ounce in the prior period.Impala said in a production update it remains on track to meet its annual production target of 3.4-3.6 million ounces.The Johannesburg-based miner will publish its half-year financial results on March 5.($1 = 15.8933 rand)(By Nelson Banya; Editing by Rashmi Aich)

Australia on Friday said it would support its critical mineral supply chains after the US stepped back from plans to guarantee a minimum price for such projects.Shares of Australia’s rare earth miners fell sharply on Thursday after Reuters reported on the Trump administration’s retreat.The sector was still in the red on Friday. Lynas, the world’s biggest producer of rare earths outside China, was down by more than 4%.The backdown was communicated to US mining executives by Trump administration officials and indicated a lack of congressional funding for price floors and the complexity of setting market pricing, Reuters reported.That “won’t stop Australia (from) pursuing our critical minerals strategic reserve program to make sure Australia has access to the resources it needs to build a future made in Australia,” Resources Minister Madeleine King told Sky News on Friday.“We know from what we’ve seen in reports and we will let that play out … the US has introduced a price floor for one particular project and that’s the only one it has done it for, and that was a game-changer.”Australia has been positioning itself as a critical minerals alternative to China, the world’s biggest producer, for use in the automotive and defence sectors.It has said it would establish a A$1.2 billion ($840 million) strategic reserve of minerals that it believes is vulnerable to supply disruption.The stockpile, which will prioritize antimony, gallium and rare earth elements, is expected to be ready by the second half of 2026.The government is also considering setting a price floor to support local critical minerals projects as part of its strategy.“We’ll have a number of mechanisms, a floor price will be one through offtake agreements,” King said. “We are determined to make sure there is value for taxpayer money in the reserve and in any floor price.”($1 = 1.4278 Australian dollars)(By Christine Chen; Editing by Thomas Derpinghaus)

China’s Baowu Resources, the world’s largest steelmaker, has tightened its grip on one of the biggest untapped high‑grade iron-ore deposits by taking control of the operator of Guinea’s Simandou Blocks 1 and 2 after raising its stake in the Winning Consortium Simandou to 51% from 49%, the company said on Friday.The Singapore-registered parent company and its Guinean unit have been renamed Baowu Winning Consortium Simandou following the deal, the statement said. It was approved by Guinea on May 30, 2024 and formally completed on January 30, 2026.BWCS owns 85% of the Guinean operating company for Blocks 1 and 2, strengthening Beijing’s leverage over Simandou in a country that also exports bauxite and other minerals.On the southern Blocks 3 and 4, Chinese state groups also hold stakes via a Chinalco-led joint venture alongside Rio Tinto and the Guinean state in the Simfer partnership.Simfer co-developed shared rail and port infrastructure with BWCS for Simandou, which debuted iron ore shipments in November after nearly three decades of stop-start development, regulatory disputes and infrastructure delays.Baowu said the deal confirms its long-term industrial and strategic commitment to “one of the world’s most significant integrated mining and infrastructure projects,” adding it will pursue “project competitiveness, the promotion of local content, (and) compliance with internationally recognized ESG standards.”At full-run rate, Simandou’s two mining hubs are designed to ship up to 120 million metric tons of high-grade iron ore a year through the shared rail and Atlantic port, positioning Guinea as a key supplier of the steelmaking material alongside Australia and Brazil.Guinea’s mines ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Guinea is also the world’s largest bauxite exporter, with Chinese firms controlling over 70% of output.(By Maxwell Akalaare Adombila; Editing by Louise Heavens and Chris Reese)

China’s Baowu takes control of Simandou iron ore operator

Tungsten prices have rocketed to record highs in January, fuelled by tightening inventory, Chinese export controls and industrial demand, leaving consumers scrambling for supplies in an already constricted market.Prices of ammonium paratungstate, used to make tungsten metal, were trading at $1,125 to $1,150 per metric ton unit (mtu) in China, a record high, according to traders. Prices in Rotterdam hit an all-time high of around $1,100. Prices are widely expected to climb further in the coming weeks.Tungsten is a critical industrial metal, prized for its hardness with the highest melting point of any metal. It is used mainly as tungsten carbide in cutting tools and wear parts in machinery for manufacturing, mining and construction, as well as in aerospace and defence components, industrial gas turbines and electronics.Price spikes can ripple through factory output and costs, making tungsten a bellwether for advanced manufacturing.“There are a lot of reasons for Tungsten to go up – market is tight, there is a lot of demand from defence, aerospace, IGT, and all other sectors, there are problems with supply (lower ore grades and other issues) and on top of that, there are issues with exports from China,” a London-based trader said in an email to Reuters.China, which dominates global tungsten mining and processing, unveiled export controls in February 2025, requiring exporters to get government permits before shipping their materials.Last month, Beijing named 15 companies that will be able to export tungsten, a move that could centralize control and limit the volume of material available to overseas buyers.“(China’s) export volume has declined by close to 40% year-on-year since the controls were implemented,” said William Parry-Jones, founder of Wolfram Advisory and a specialist in tungsten market analysis and critical materials supply chain strategy. “There are insufficient volumes of raw materials available ex-China to replace this export volume.”According to 2024 data from the US Geological Survey, tungsten mine production outside China is fragmented, led by Vietnam, Russia and modest production from Rwanda, Bolivia, Austria, and Spain, collectively accounting for only a few thousand tons a year, compared with China’s 67,000 tons.Market participants attributed the higher China prices to the country’s restricted mining quota, which was cut 6.5% from a year earlier in 2025, and a higher rate of manufacturing, leading to more domestic consumption.“China has been proactively building its manufacturing capacities – it is now seen as the factory of the world … if as an end-use customer you can’t physically buy your widget from your preferred supplier, then you may have no choice but to buy the widget from China, this plays perfectly into the Chinese plan,” Parry-Jones said. Global tightness intensified more after new Chinese controls on dual-use materials to Japan came into force this month. Japan is one of the largest importers of Chinese tungsten.(By Anjana Anil; Editing by Thomas Derpinghaus)

Tungsten price rises to record highs as export curbs turn up supply heat

India plans to soon offer incentives for companies to set up lithium and nickel processing plants to help boost output and meet rising demand for critical minerals, according to two sources and a government presentation reviewed by Reuters.India is seeking to accelerate its energy transition and cut emissions by promoting clean energy initiatives like electric vehicles, though it lacks the technology to process critical minerals, a capacity that is largely dominated by China.Nickel and lithium are critical to India’s EV supply chain, especially when it comes to batteries, as New Delhi targets 30% electric car penetration and 80% for two-wheelers by 2030 from 4% and 6% at present.The incentive plan proposes a 15% capital subsidy for eligible investments in lithium and nickel-processing projects starting on or after April 1, 2026, which would be subject to a cap, according to the presentation.A 15% capital subsidy appears to be “realistic,” one of the sources said.India’s Ministry of Mines, which is responsible for the proposal, did not respond to a Reuters email seeking comments.Under the program, incentives would be available for five years and capped at 40% of annual net sales turnover for lithium processing plants and 25% for nickel plants, the presentation showed.To qualify for the incentives, lithium processing plants must have a minimum capacity of 30,000 metric tons, while nickel plants must have at least 50,000 tons, it showed.The subsidy would be disbursed in stages, subject to minimum plant utilization targets set by the government, the presentation showed.The government initially plans to roll out the incentives for two lithium and two nickel projects to meet the country’s demand by 2030, one of the sources and the presentation said.In 2023, India identified more than 20 minerals – including lithium – as “critical” for its energy transition efforts and to meet rising demand from businesses.Reuters previously reported that India approached several countries to seek technical collaborations on lithium processing.(By Neha Arora; Editing by Mayank Bhardwaj and Thomas Derpinghaus)

India to unveil incentives for lithium, nickel processing

Swiss-based Solway Investment Group plans to restart its nickel operations in Guatemala within months, the company told Reuters, following a sharp rise in the nickel price and after the United States removed sanctions on the facilities.The amounts involved are a small fraction of global nickel supplies, estimated by analysts at around four million metric tons this year.But industry sources say the plan suggests that prices are high enough for some of the smelters that cut output after prices dropped to three-year lows towards the end of 2024, to resume profitable production.Prices of nickel, also used to make electric vehicle batteries, on Monday jumped to a 19-month peak at $19,160 a metric ton on the London Metal Exchange. Nickel has gained nearly 20% since leading producer Indonesia said late last year it planned to cut nickel mining quotas.Solway’s operation in Guatemala comprises the PRONICO facility with annual production capacity of 25,000 metric tons of nickel in ferronickel and CGN, a mine with capacity to extract up to 2.2 million tons of nickel ore.“The anticipated timeline for restarting CGN is around April to May 2026, aligned with the restart of PRONICO,” Solway said.Solway closed PRONICO and CGN after the US placed sanctions on its Guatemalan subsidiaries in November 2022. The US lifted them in January 2024.Ferronickel is trading at around a $2,000 a ton discount to the LME nickel price, according to one industry source, adding that because Solway owns its own mine in Guatemala, its costs of producing the ferronickel would be around $12,000 a ton.(By Pratima Desai; Editing by Barbara Lewis)

Brazilian inspection teams found that Vale’s Viga mine presented signs of erosion and ordered the iron-ore miner to shut its operation until further notice, Minas Gerais state government authorities said on Thursday.On Monday, Vale announced it had halted operations at Viga and nearby mine Fabrica after heavy rains caused water overflows that impacted a local river and the operations of neighboring steelmaker CSN.The suspension at Viga will last until the firm presents reports that show it can re-establish environmental control of the project, said Gustavo Endrigo, superintendent of inspection at Minas Gerais government.It is unclear when Vale will be able to resume production at the mines, whose operating permits had also been suspended by the city of Congonhas. The two sites account for about 2% of Vale’s iron ore production outlook for this year, analysts say.Vale did not immediately reply to a request for comment. It had previously said it was fully cooperating with authorities.Vale has already received three fines totaling 1.7 million reais ($324,000) by the state government due to Sunday’s overflows, the authorities said.Authorities said that as well as water, tailings from Vale’s iron ore mining operation at Fabrica had also reached the Maranhao River.More heavy rain is expected in Brazil next week, according to LSEG data, with Minas Gerais expected to be among the hardest hit areas.Vale has faced intense scrutiny since two major dam disasters in Minas Gerais in the 2010s.($1 = 5.2438 reais)(By Fabio Teixeira; Editing by Alison Williams)

Gold demand hit an all-time high last year as jitters over instability and trade sparked a surge in investment, even as a series of record price peaks kept jewellery buyers from the tills.Global gold demand rose by 1% in 2025 to 5,002 metric tons, the highest number on record, the World Gold Council said on Thursday.Prices of the metal jumped above $5,300 per ounce for the first time on Wednesday and are up 22% so far this year after a 64% jump in 2025 on safe-haven demand driven by geopolitical tensions and more recently weakening confidence in the US dollar.“The biggest question this year will be whether investment demand is going to be strong enough to maintain the strength of the gold market,” said John Reade, senior market strategist at the World Gold Council.Gold investment at record The WGC expects another year of strong inflows into gold-backed exchange-traded funds and robust demand for bars and coins. ETFs saw inflows of 801 tons of gold in 2025, while demand for bars and coins jumped 16% to a 12-year high.Overall gold investment demand soared 84% to a record high of 2,175 tons in 2025.However, the WGC expects record-high prices to hit jewellery demand this year and will slow down purchases by central banks to 850 tons from 863 tons in 2025, even though their buying remains elevated when compared to the pre-2022 level.Gold jewellery demand fell 18% in 2025, with buying in China down 24% at its lowest since 2009.After a gold price rally and active purchases by central banks in 2022-2025, the share of gold in foreign currency holdings around the globe is now approaching early-1990s levels, “a period with more concentrated ownership and arguably fewer incentives for gold ownership than today,” the WGC said.Its estimate is based on officially reported gold purchases by central banks and an assessment of unreported buying by consultancy Metals Focus.“Many banks manage gold outside their formal reserve frameworks; some likely target volumes rather than values. This makes it ineffective to identify a single ‘satiation point’ for aggregate demand,” the WGC added.(By Polina Devitt; Editing by Jan Harvey)

Global gold demand hits record high in 2025, WGC says

Grupo Mexico, one of the world’s largest copper producers, nearly doubled its fourth-quarter net profit on higher metals prices and stronger volumes, it said on Tuesday, more than offsetting weaker infrastructure results tied to suspended oil platforms and foreign-exchange headwinds.The conglomerate, which last year became the largest listed company on the Mexican market, saw net profits reach $1.43 billion, above the $1.32 billion estimate from analysts polled by LSEG.Earnings were boosted by increased production, with copper output climbing 2% and gold jumping 14%. Prices also leaped, with copper up 22%, silver up 74% and gold up 56%, Grupo Mexico said.Revenues for the group climbed 34% to $5.15 billion, above analysts’ $4.87 billion estimate.The miner is eyeing billions of dollar in investments over the next decade, with projects pending at home and in the US, Peru and Spain.Grupo Mexico said its US unit, Asarco, could double mine production due to new copper policies outlined by President Donald Trump. It added that it was moving forward with an assessment to reopen and expand its Hayden smelter and Amarillo refinery in the US.In Mexico, the firm said it is in talks with the current administration to resume more than $10 billion in investments after permits were paused under the previous government.Grupo Mexico’s infrastructure division swung to a net loss in the quarter, weighing down results, pressured by the suspension of four of offshore oil platforms by state-owned producer Pemex and foreign-exchange effects.(By Kylie Madry; Editing by Natalia Siniawski)

Russia’s Nornickel, the world’s largest palladium producer and a major producer of refined nickel, said on Wednesday it expects its nickel output to reach 193,000–203,000 metric tons in 2026, broadly in line with 2025.Its palladium output this year is expected to fall to between 2.415 million and 2.465 million ounces, the company added, after it produced 2.725 million ounces of palladium in 2025, down 1% year-on-year but in line with its forecasts.The company said it produced 198,521 tons of nickel in 2025, a 3% drop from the previous year, a result that also came within the company’s projected range of 196,000 to 204,000 tons.Nornickel has linked a decline in production in recent years to the depletion of ore reserves and a forced switch to alternative mining equipment due to Western sanctions, and expects recovery in 2028.While the company is not subject to direct sanctions, the measures have restricted access to Western equipment, complicated payments and logistics, and prompted some foreign clients to avoid buying Russian metal, leading it to redirect sales to Asia.“The company slightly decreased the output of all key metals, except for platinum, as a result of a temporary increase in the share of disseminated ores, with low-grade ores sparse,” chief operating officer Evgeniy Fedorov said in a statement.Nornickel has continued upgrading its mining equipment fleet with new suppliers after losing access to Western equipment, he added.The company has launched construction of a deeper level at its Skalisty mine to bring rich ores from the Oktyabrskoye deposit into production, it said.“It is this project that will allow us to restore the share of rich ore in total output by 2028,” Fedorov said.As a result, output could increase by around 20% in nickel equivalent by 2030, the company’s CEO Vladimir Potanin said earlier, calling the current decline in production a “temporary phenomenon”.The company sees steady demand for its products and does not plan to artificially cut output, Fedorov added.(By Anastasia Lyrchikova; Editing by Louise Heavens and Jan Harvey)
