🗳 Pressure on #commodities as #Trump becomes president-elect 🗳 With a #tariff hike likely as during his election campaign, Trump announced he plans to put tariffs of up to 20% on all US imports and 60% or higher on Chinese imports. With China controlling a large part of the world's supply of critical minerals, the country has already shown it's not averse to weaponising this against sanctions. Last year, China imposed restrictions on the export of #gallium, #germanium and #graphite in response to US attempts to limit China's access to advanced microprocessor technology. So, in a scenario of increased tariffs on the country, it wouldn't be unprecedented if it retaliates by limiting critical mineral exports, which could then lead to a rise in global critical mineral prices. https://lnkd.in/gb8WZrqw #criticalminerals #USelection

The Mining Journal Intelligence ESG Mining Company Index found that 61 of the biggest mining companies by market cap emitted 230Mt of CO2 equivalent emissions in 2023, based on the companies' own Scope 1 and 2 data. This is about 0.4% of all global carbon emissions. Find out more in our article here: https://lnkd.in/dngmuA6R 👉 Join us for a webinar diving into the findings of the inaugural Mining Journal and Mining Magazine Intelligence ESG Mining Company Index, which examines critical ESG themes across the industry. While carbon emissions is one of the core areas of the report, our research spans six essential pillars—Emissions, Diversity, Land, Water, Health & Safety, and Community Investment—giving a comprehensive view of sustainability in mining at present.

Reality check time: With the lack of women in mining, the gender gap in the profession is unlikely to close any time soon.  This week I have been putting together our #MostInfluential in mining list (which will be published soon ....!) And I was there, sending emails, texts, carrier pigeon to my colleagues: "Are you sure this is right? Shouldn't we be doing better?" Beacuse actually, year-on-year, the number of females on the list has fallen. That's right. Fallen. But why the surprise? Females account for only 12% of the global mining workforce, according to a World Economic Forum study published in 2021. In addition, the mining sector currently ranks second for the least female-inclusive workforce globally. As the mining industry faces significant labour shortages, companies urgently need to attract women, but what is the current status? Mining Journal Intelligence answers these questions and more in the new Mining Company ESG Index.  And IT found that things were better than we first thought: The Mining Company ESG Index found that 61 of some of the largest mining companies, with a combined market cap of $1.2 trillion, had an average of 31% female participation on the board. This percentage is 8% higher than the global average, where it was found women only hold 23% of the world's board seats. However, the data suggest that the average proportion of female employees remains low, at 17.4% in 2023. Although, there has been a sluggish increase across the past three years. Want to know mre?

You may notice something a little different in your inboxes today…📝 Today we have launched our new-look newsletter. It’s cleaner, more interactive and gives a little more context behind the main story of the day (thanks Rio Tinto for providing a banger for the first issue!!)💥 These newsletters are, importantly, curated by our editorial team (today this was Siobhan Lismore-Scott) which means you may at times find stories with historical context in them also. It’s a bold move in a new direction which hopefully showcases some of the great things we are all doing over here 🙋♀️

Rio Tinto approaching Arcadium Lithium is the worst-kept secret in mining, writes tim treadgold for Mining Journal today. But whether it's a case of the mining giant stalking the smaller company or Arcadium looking for a funding partner, is unclear – perhaps a bit of both? Read more (Free): https://lnkd.in/eUDnFQaT
