Geological Survey of South Australia’s Post

🌟 South Australia is swiftly earning its stripes as the 'Copper Capital'! 🌟 Our global standing as a leading provider for the world's ever-growing demand for copper is skyrocketing! In the year leading up to February 2024, copper has claimed the spotlight in remarkable ways: 🚀 emerged as the state's No.1 reported export by value 💼 over 80% of SA's manufactured goods' value 💹 Copper ore and concentrates exports surpassed $1B 💡 SA exported over $2.5B in copper products and refined copper But that's not all! In what was also a strong period for food, copper overtook wheat as the state’s largest export by value, becoming our most single important source of export income.🌏🛳️ Find out more about South Australia’s claim to become the world’s Copper Capital here 👉 https://ow.ly/ajTL50Rb6cQ. South Australia is on the fast track to becoming a powerhouse in the global market, and our contributions are undeniable. Let's keep the momentum going! 💪 #Resources #Exploration #Investment #Innovation #SouthAustralia #Minerals #Exports #Copper #Mining #Energy

The Canadian Mineral Sector continues to be a leader with respect to supplying over ten (10) critical minerals, advancing projects, processing, and having established 45 producing critical mineral mines. With supportive policies, incentives, access to capital, efficient regulatory regime and maintaining a high level of sustainable development the industry can accomplish much more. Numerous announcement were made during this year's Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) supportive of the industry. #canadianmining #criticalminerals #criticalmetals #processing #production #sustainabledevelopment #environment #investment Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration Inc.

On the new #FIRB rules... "Fast-tracked treatment will be given to so-called “frequent flyer” investors who are regularly before the Foreign Investment Review Board, as well as investments in non-sensitive areas such as professional services, mining of non-critical minerals, commercial real estate and new housing." Since I have done extensive work on the non-China market for critical minerals, like rare earths, and know that there isn't any of significance, it is pretty clear where a local minerals investor should focus. Target anything that is NOT on the #CriticalMinerals list. There is NO serious Western market for critical minerals, which means you have to sell to China, which means you are not going to get anywhere. However, the non-critical minerals are fine. Great news for #gold, #uranium and #copper. These are in bull markets, so we are good. Of course, the fully paid-up moron contingent from don't-think-tank land will soon be along to screw that one vibrant section of our mineral economy. Hopefully, we can make some money before they f888k that up too.

Gold Key facts: ⛏️ Gold is among Canada's most valuable mined commodities, with a production value of $13.2 billion in 2022. ⛏️ Gold is mined in 10 Canadian provinces and territories, with the majority coming from Ontario and Quebec that together accounted for 72% of Canada’s mined gold production in 2022. ⛏️ Canadian mines produced 204 tonnes of gold in 2022, ranking Canada as the fourth-largest global producer.

Let's hope that the ultimate goals of the Government: 1. Getting a fair price for its copper share of the JV, and 2. Ensuring that the JV is getting a fair price for its copper are achieved. Gecamines is offering copper from CMOC’s giant Tenke Fungurume mine, in which it holds a 20% interest, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private negotiations. The state miner is assessing bids — including from Glencore, Trafigura Group and Mercuria Energy Group — for 90,000 tons from the project, two of the people said. The three trading houses declined to comment, while the Tenke JV and Gecamines didn’t respond. Gecamines’ move creates opportunities for traders to bid on sizable new contracts at a time of heated competition for copper deals. Congo has recently become the world’s No. 2 producer and has seen exports almost triple since 2016. Yet many expect global demand — led by growth in electric vehicles, grid infrastructure and data centers — to outstrip investment in new supplies.

🌏🚢 South Australia makes history as overseas goods exports hit a record-breaking $18 billion - showcasing the resilience and strength of our state's economy. 📈 💰 Mineral and petroleum reported exports increased by 14.3% to $5 billion and over $3 billion of this remarkable total comes from iron and steel, refined copper and lead. PLUS, another $1 billion is attributed to mineral fuels, petrol and petroleum products. Highlighting the significance of our energy and mining sectors driving export growth. 🏭⛏️ Cheers to the continued success of our state, an industry that is fuelling expansion, development and prosperity on the global stage! 👏 #Resources #Exploration #Investment #Innovation #SouthAustralia #Minerals #Petroleum #Gas #Exports #Copper #Mining #Energy

Industry News: An invite to revise critical minerals list - Low prices dampen investment for development Natural Resources Canada barely got its invite out the door to the critical minerals industry in January when more bad news hit. Plummeting prices for metals such as lithium and nickel pushed the ministry’s pitch for help updating the criteria of Canada’s list of 31 critical minerals list to the back burner. How bad was the hit to lithium and nickel prices? Enough for companies to capitulate and begin shutting down capacity and production, said Canada Nickel Company CEO Mark Selby (and former head of commodities research).

According to a recent report from International Monetary Fund, sub-Saharan Africa could produce by 2050 nearly 2,000 billion dollars of metals necessary for the energy transition (critical minerals), like #copper, #cobalt, #lithium, #nickel, ... This estimated production for sub-Saharan Africa will represent approximately 12% of total global revenues estimated at $16,000 billion in the same period. Therefore, multiple agreements and transactions, as well as different private-private and public-private partnerships, will have to emerge during the same period, on the basis of meetings and business connections which will be their basis. Whether they are artisanal miners or mining cooperatives, traders, trading posts, mining permit holders, financiers, investors, African States themselves, etc., it will be necessary to establish relationships between all these for better deals. In this point, #Tamari_Servives has been playing, for several years now, its role as an intermediary or business broker by putting these different stakeholders into business relationships, each according to their business needs, for deals, transactions or desired partnerships.
