Copper price rises on strong export growth in China

admin
The copper price rose on Monday as worries about demand in top consumer China were offset by strong export growth data from the country. Copper for delivery in December was up 1.6% on the Comex market in New York, touching $4.41 per pound ($9,702 per tonne) on Monday afternoon. China’s export growth beat forecasts, helped by booming global demand ahead of the winter holiday season, an easing power crunch and an improvement in supply chains that have been badly disrupted by the pandemic.

Gemfields finds largest emerald ever at Zambia mine

Africa-focused Gemfields  has found the largest emerald ever mined at its Kagem mine in Zambia — a 7,525-carat (1,505g) gemstone named Chipembele, which means “rhino” in the local dialect of Bemba. While no official record exists, it is extremely unusual to encounter a gemstone weighing more than 1,000 carats and only a couple of dozen unique enough to deserve their own name. The last time a comparable emerald was found was in 2018, when Gemfields unearthed the 5,655-carat Inkalamu, meaning “lion”.  Prior to that, the company had dug up a 6,225-carat emerald in 2010, which… Read More Here

RANKED: Top 10 mines with world’s most valuable ore

In mining, grade is king. Across the commodity spectrum, some of the most anticipated results — which can determine the scope of a mining project — are assay values from drill testing. As one of mining’s most influential figures, Robert Friedland, sums it up: “Mining 101. High grade is good. Low grade is bad.” “The higher the grade, the smaller the environmental footprint, Friedland has said. “The higher the grade, the smaller the plant; the less the electrical consumption, the smaller the labour force, the smaller the tailings pond, the less the global warming gas per unit… Read More Here

The 2015 Paris Agreement saw 195 countries commit to making changes to prevent global warming from surpassing 2.0 °C above preindustrial levels, although ideally no more than 1.5 °C above.

To date, the mining industry is seen as one sector that has generally been slow to adopt new technology and it remains one of the world’s largest carbon emitters. Swedish engineering company sandvik  is spearheading the shift towards using sustainable… Read More Here
