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.

Australia’s gold production is set to surge, signalling a promising rebound with several major projects and developments on the horizon. Despite recently falling behind China and the Russian Federation in gold output, the latest figures from Australia’s Chief Economist are optimistic about our nation regaining its leading position. At PPS, we understand that water solutions and safety are pivotal in gold mining operations. Processing plants require vast amounts of water to extract gold efficiently and safely, using it for everything from mineral separation to mixing critical reagents like cyanide. We're excited to support this resurgence, ensuring these operations not only succeed but set the standard in industry safety and environmental responsibility. As the gold sector grows, so does our commitment to providing top-tier water management solutions that uphold our promise of excellence. #MiningAustralia #AustralianMining Small Caps World Gold Council https://lnkd.in/g2fawCCm

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.

Global gold production over the years ⛏ 👑 South Africa's grip on the gold crown has loosened considerably. Once an undisputed champion, the nation's gold production has taken a tumble. One key challenge lies in the nature of the resource itself – gold is finite. Easily accessible near-surface deposits were quickly exhausted, forcing miners deeper underground. Extracting gold from these extreme depths (3-4 KMs) requires substantial investments in infrastructure, ventilation, and cooling systems. These high costs make it increasingly difficult to make a profit. The high cost of deep-level mining has led major mining companies to re-evaluate their South African operations. Some, like AngloGold, have opted to leave entirely. Others, like Gold Fields & Sibanye Stillwater, have either minimised their presence or reduced capital expenditure on South African gold projects. A 2023 PWC report paints a grim picture. With an estimated 68 million ounces of gold reserves remaining, the South African gold industry might only have 27 years left. Many mines are expected to close even sooner, within the next 20 years. 🕰 Written by Marvin Matabane Source: VGraphs Curious about the forces shaping South Africa's economy & financial markets ⚡?

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).

Barrick Gold Corporation (TSX:ABX, NYSE:GOLD) announced on Tuesday a sequential increase in its gold and #copper production for the fourth quarter of 2023.  The big Canadian miner's total preliminary output is expected to be 1.05 million ounces of gold and 113 million pounds of copper in the three months ending December 31, up from 1.04 million ounces of gold and 112 million pounds of copper in 3Q.   Barrick also noted it expects its all-in sustaining costs (AISC) per ounce of gold to rise about 8% to 10% from the previous quarter, while the company’s AISC for copper production is anticipated to be 2% to 4% lower, largely due to lower capitalized waste stripping at its Lumwana mine in Zambia.  The company added that the average market price for #gold in 4Q was $1,971 per ounce and the average market price for copper was $3.70 per pound.  More at #Proactive #ProactiveInvestors http://ow.ly/pBFU10593sS #TSX #NYSE #ABX #GOLD

GHANA UNVEILS FIRST GOLD REFINERY TO CURB SMUGGLING AND ADD VALUE The Royal Ghana Gold Refinery, which will process 400 kilograms of gold daily, primarily sources raw materials from artisanal and small-scale mines. These mines contribute about one-third of Ghana’s annual gold output of roughly 4 million ounces, according to Bloomberg. Bank of Ghana Governor Ernest Addison stated that the refinery will play a crucial role in curbing gold smuggling, a persistent issue in the country, by providing a ready market for artisanal and small-scale miners. “This refinery can mitigate the incentive for smuggling and help promote transparency and accountability in…READ MORE HERE https://lnkd.in/dWY6gD85
