Botswana delivers first iron ore exports to China

October 27, 2021October 27, 2021 admin

Botswana’s first iron ore mine, Ikongwe, has started production and delivered its maiden exports to China, a company official told Reuters on Tuesday, as the Southern African country makes headway in efforts to diversify its economy away from diamonds. Although diamond mining’s contribution to GDP has declined over the years and was less than 20% last year, Botswana is still heavily reliant on the precious stones, with diamonds accounting for more than 70% of foreign currency revenues.

October 26, 2021October 26, 2021 admin

The state-appointed provisional liquidator of Zambia’s Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) on Tuesday appeared in court and denied charges of money laundering and the theft of 4.4-million Zambian kwacha ($257 450).

Gold rises 1% on lower U.S. yields, inflation worries

October 26, 2021October 26, 2021 admin

Gold prices rose about 1% on Monday, as a retreat in U.S. bond yields and persisting worries about inflation lifted the safe-haven asset ahead of major central bank meetings this week.

U.S. gold futures for December delivery settled up 0.6% at $1,806.80 per ounce. “The main reason for this rally is that yields backed off a little bit … but prices are still kind of range bound,” said Daniel Pavilonis, senior market strategist at RJO Futures. “We have a lot going on… Read More Here
