  • ADB Backs a $1 Billion Minerals Push, Anglo Teck Gets the Green Light, and Nickel Climbs to a Two-Year High

    ADB Backs a $1 Billion Minerals Push, Anglo Teck Gets the Green Light, and Nickel Climbs to a Two-Year High
    May 4 2026
    Today on The Mining Insider: The Asian Development Bank launched its Critical Minerals-to-Manufacturing Financing Partnership Facility at its 59th annual meeting in Samarkand on May 3. Korea Eximbank and the Korean Trade Insurance Corporation (K-SURE) each signed $500 million memoranda as founding partners, alongside $20 million from Japan and $1.6 million from the UK as seed grants. ADB President Masato Kanda said Asia and the Pacific should capture more than raw material exports. Separately, the proposed merger of Anglo American and Teck Resources to form Anglo Teck — a $53 billion all-share deal creating a top-five global copper producer — has cleared shareholder approval at both companies and received regulatory clearance from the Government of Canada under the Investment Canada Act, with final approvals in China and South Korea expected September 2026 to March 2027. And on the London Metal Exchange, nickel climbed to $19,155 per tonne — the highest level since June 2024 — as Indonesia's 2026 RKAB quota of 260-270 million tonnes creates a structural supply gap against smelter demand of 380-400 million tonnes, compounded by a sulfur shortage tied to the Middle East conflict. Stories Covered: - ADB Critical Minerals-to-Manufacturing Facility: Korea Eximbank and K-SURE each commit $500 million, Japan and UK add seed grants, launched Samarkand May 3 - Anglo Teck merger: $53 billion deal, shareholder and Canada ICA approval secured, China and South Korea approvals pending September 2026 to March 2027 - Nickel two-year high: LME $19,155 per tonne, Indonesia RKAB quota 260-270 million tonnes vs demand of 380-400 million tonnes, sulfur shortage from Middle East amplifying pressure Commodities: Nickel, copper, critical minerals Jurisdictions: Asia-Pacific, Indonesia, Canada, Chile, South Korea, Japan, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan

  • Uzbekistan Pulls the Navoi IPO, Byproducts Make Copper Free to Mine, and Chile's Acid Clock Is Ticking

    Uzbekistan Pulls the Navoi IPO, Byproducts Make Copper Free to Mine, and Chile's Acid Clock Is Ticking
    May 3 2026
    Today on The Mining Insider: Work on the IPO of Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company — Uzbekistan's state-owned gold miner and the world's fourth-largest gold producer — has been paused, with the Uzbek government weighing the right moment to list. The company produced 3.2 million ounces of gold in 2025, with revenue of $10.8 billion and pre-tax profit of $6.1 billion. Separately, a structural milestone in copper mining economics: Southern Copper and Vale both reported negative net cash costs for copper in Q1 2026, as byproduct revenues from soaring gold, silver, and molybdenum prices exceed total production costs. Southern's CFO confirmed that $1.2 billion in byproduct revenue more than covered the company's entire copper production cost. And in Chile, the sulphuric acid supply crunch is moving into a real production risk — acid prices at Chile's key port doubled from February to mid-April, Chilean buyers left the second half of 2026 largely uncovered, and Morgan Stanley puts up to 1.1 million tonnes of leached copper output at risk. Stories Covered: - Navoi Mining IPO paused — world's fourth-largest gold miner, 3.2 million oz in 2025, $10.8B revenue, Uzbek state miner - Southern Copper and Vale: negative net copper cash costs in Q1 2026 — $1.2B byproduct revenue at Southern; byproduct credits at Antofagasta hit 104% year-on-year - Chile sulphuric acid supply crunch — acid prices doubled, H2 2026 cover gap, Morgan Stanley flags 1.1 million tonnes at risk Commodities: Gold, copper, silver, molybdenum, sulphuric acid Jurisdictions: Uzbekistan, United States (Southern Copper), Brazil (Vale), Chile

    Venezuela's Mineral Opening, Seabed Mining's Legal Breakthrough, and Ontario's Defence Pivot
    May 2 2026
    Today on The Mining Insider: Mercuria Energy Group and Heeney Capital announced May 1 that they had secured White House-backed offtake agreements for Venezuelan bulk commodities and gold, projected to generate $2.2 billion in annual mineral export value — with aluminum, nickel, and ferrous metals negotiations ongoing that could add another $3 billion. NOAA certified on May 1 that TMC the Metals Company's consolidated application for a deep-seabed exploration license and commercial recovery permit fully complies with all regulatory requirements under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act — the first commercial seabed mining permit in US history now on track for Q1 2027. And Ontario tabled the POWER Act, 23 initiatives to slash early-stage mining permitting timelines and orient the province's minerals strategy toward defence supply chains. Stories covered: - Mercuria and Heeney Capital Venezuela mineral offtake deals — White House-backed, $2.2B annual export value in bulk commodities and gold, with $3B more possible in aluminum, nickel, and ferrous metals - NOAA certifies TMC deep-seabed mining application fully compliant — Clarion-Clipperton Zone, polymetallic nodules (manganese, nickel, cobalt, copper), commercial permit on track before Q1 2027 - Ontario POWER Act — 23 initiatives to cut early-stage mining red tape, defence minerals pivot, Minister of Mines George Pirie quote Sources: Reuters, E&E News, StreetInsider/TMC, Greenberg Traurig, Mining.com, Government of Ontario
