    BHP Hands San Manuel to Faraday, Pilbara Workers Settle, Congo's Cobalt Customs Freeze, and Gold's Comeback Week

    The Mining Insider — July 3, 2026 Today's episode covers four material developments from July 2–3, 2026. BHP — San Manuel Copper Transfer to Faraday: BHP has finalized its agreement to transfer the historic San Manuel copper property in Arizona to Canada's Faraday Copper Corp. In exchange, BHP receives a 30% equity stake in Faraday — bringing its total holding to approximately 32.5% on a non-diluted basis — plus shareholder and offtake rights. Faraday's market cap stands at approximately C$1.82 billion (US$1.28 billion). The Lundin Group (Nemesia) confirmed BHP as a strategic co-investor. San Manuel was the largest underground copper mine in the US before closing in 1999. BHP says combining it with Faraday's adjacent Copper Creek project could establish a new Arizona copper hub. BHP Pilbara — Labor Deal at South Flank and Mining Area C: Workers voted 58% in favor of a new four-year enterprise agreement covering 1,814 workers. Key terms: 16% wage increase over four years, increased site allowances, and a delayed-flight payment scheme. Unions noted significant minority opposition. Port Hedland — the more critical facility at $120M/day iron ore revenue — remains unsettled, with workers previously voting for protected action. DRC Cobalt — Customs Platform Freeze: Since July 1, major cobalt producers in the DRC have been unable to register export declarations on the customs platform. ARECOMS set a July 5 deadline for first-half quota use; unused quotas will be withdrawn. Up to 20,000 metric tons — worth $1.1 billion — may be forfeited. CMOC is among those most at risk. Cobalt prices have surged 160% since February 2025 to $26/lb. Mining companies have appealed to Congo's prime minister to intervene. Gold — First Weekly Gain in Five: Spot gold rose above $4,170/oz on weak US June jobs data (57,000 jobs added vs ~150,000 expected; April/May revised down 74,000). Fed rate hike bets eased, dollar weakened. Northern Star surged 11.75% on the ASX; Catalyst Metals +19.18%; Genesis Minerals +16.70%. Copper COMEX up 1.73% to ~$6.22/lb.

    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.
