EU sales doubled to 1.3 million with penetration reaching a stunning 19% during the final quarter, just eclipsing sales figures in China for… Read More Here

admin
Global demand for silver ore will reach 1.025 billion ounces in 2021, its highest level in eight years, as investors and industry step up purchases, the Silver Institute said on Wednesday, forecasting a rise in prices. The coronavirus outbreak has sparked a rush among investors to store cash, which, like gold, is traditionally considered a safe place to store cash. Experts say that momentum will continue, the institute said, predicting purchases of bullion and coins to reach a six-year high of 257 million ounces in 2021. He didn’t give a… Read More Here

Meet the Zambian at the helm of Namibia’s mining sector

admin
According to Veston Malango, the Chamber of Mines of Namibia’s CEO, a rush of investment last year into Namibia’s mining sector provides two instructive lessons for other countries. Firstly, that it may only take one decisive act to unblock the mining investment pipeline, and enable a post-COVID economic recovery. And secondly, that it is critical for Government and the mining sector to engage at the very earliest stage on contemplated changes to regulations – long before laws are drafted – to avoid unnecessary surprises, allow for informed lawmaking, and to… Read More Here

What does 2021 have in store for mining?

admin
A brief glimpse of a world with considerably improved air quality will almost certainly continue to feed into public perceptions around CO2 emissions and environmental pollution in general. Consequently, we’re likely to see increased agitation for industries like mining to ‘clean up their act’, which will impact those all-important social licenses to operate. Likewise, other key influencers from the recent past will also continue to impact the industry’s reputation in this regard over the coming months. They include: Rio Tinto’s major indigenous heritage bungle at Juukan Gorge, Zambia’s continued environmental and air… Read More Here

Copper prices rose again on Tuesday as investors weighed in on the prospects of an accelerated stimulus package in the United States. On the Comex market, copper delivered in March rose 1.5% to $ 3.723 per pound ($ 8,190 per tonne). If it closes at these levels, it would be the highest since February 2013. The metal rallied in hopes that the economic recovery in the United States will further stimulate demand, and underpinned by declining Chinese stocks for the past decade. House Democrats on Monday released the first draft for… Read More Here
