    Agnico Eagle's Barnat Blow, Cigar Lake Goes Dark, Northern Star's New Hand, and India's Aluminum Bet

    The Mining Insider — July 2, 2026 Today's episode covers four material developments from July 1–2, 2026. Agnico Eagle — Barnat Pit Wall Movement: A rock mass movement on July 1 along the north wall of the Barnat open pit at Canadian Malartic in Quebec has prompted a temporary suspension of open-pit mining. No injuries or environmental impact. The company expects the disruption to reduce second-half 2026 production at Canadian Malartic by 60,000 to 80,000 ounces of gold, with further impacts of up to 150,000 ounces per year in 2027 and 2028. Full-year 2026 guidance now expected near the lower end of the 3.3 to 3.5 million ounce range. Cameco — Cigar Lake Suspension: Cameco temporarily suspended mining at Cigar Lake on July 1 after a sulfuric acid plant failure shut down Orano's McClean Lake mill. Cameco expects the mill back online in approximately two weeks and says its 2026 production guidance of 17.5 to 18.0 million pounds remains unchanged — though downside risk was flagged. Northern Star — CEO Transition: Northern Star Resources has named Suresh Vadnagra, currently head of Glencore's nickel and zinc industrial assets, as its next managing director and CEO, effective October 5, 2026. The appointment follows pressure from activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which built a stake worth more than A$1.0 billion. Adani–IHC Aluminum JV — Odisha: Abu Dhabi's IHC and India's Adani Group signed a memorandum of understanding for a 50/50 joint venture targeting an $11.5 billion integrated aluminum complex in Odisha — India's largest-ever foreign investment in mining and metallurgy.
