Read original →Capella Minerals Ltd. commenced reconnaissance diamond drilling at the Killero W Gold-Copper Project in Finland. Early-stage exploration activity indicates active mineral prospecting and potential future supply development for copper, a critical metal for electrification and renewable energy infrastructure.
Read original →South Africa's Minerals Council reported that mining input cost pressures accelerated sharply in May with the Mining Composite Input Cost Index rising to 5.3% year-on-year from 2.8% in April, driven by higher global energy prices during Middle East conflict. Cost inflation in major mining jurisdictions increases production expenses for critical minerals and metals, compressing margins and potentially constraining supply expansion.

Active exploration programs signal continued investment in precious metals development, supporting supply expansion and regional economic activity.
Read original →Graphite remains one of the most strategically important battery materials, but weak prices continue to weigh on investment across the sector. According to Amy Bennett, principal consultant at Fastmarkets, the issue isn't a lack of long-term demand—it's China's overwhelming control of the global processing industry. Speaking with the Investing News Network at the Fastmarkets Global Battery and Critical Materials Conference in Las Vegas, Bennett said Western governments have focused heavily on developing new mines, while the greater supply chain bottleneck lies in midstream processing and anode production. The interview also explores how the rapid growth of energy storage systems is changing demand expectations across battery materials markets. While electric vehicles remain an important driver, Bennett says the expansion of grid storage and AI-related power demand is creating a broader and increasingly resilient market for critical minerals. Listen to the full interview above for Bennett's outlook on graphite, vanadium, China's evolving role in battery supply chains and the policy decisions that could determine whether Western markets can build competitive alternatives over the coming decade.

Read original →Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM,NYSE:AEM) has temporarily suspended extraction at the Barnat open pit within its Canadian Malartic complex in Quebec following a rock mass movement along the site's north wall. The wall failure occurred in a sector previously identified by engineers as possessing weaker geological structures. The zone was already subject to enhanced geotechnical monitoring and was isolated by safety exclusion zones prior to the rock movement. Company technical teams are currently conducting detailed geotechnical assessments to map out the stability of the north wall. Planning activities are actively underway to facilitate the safe and orderly resumption of operations in the Barnat pit. In the interim, the Canadian Malartic processing plant is relying on low-grade surface stockpiles to replace the planned Barnat ore feed, a contingency designed to buffer the immediate production shock. While the incident leaves the company's immediate financial quarter unscathed, the suspension will generate persistent headwinds into the medium term. Production in the second quarter of 2026 was unaffected by the failure, with Agnico Eagle expecting to report quarterly output of approximately 845,000 ounces of gold, slightly ahead of internal plans. However, the downstream impacts of the pit closure will affect second-half metrics. The company projects a production reduction of 60,000 to 80,000 ounces of gold at Canadian Malartic for the latter half of 2026. As a result, full-year corporate production is now expected to land near the lower end of the company's previously disclosed range of 3.3 million to 3.5 million ounces. The constraints will extend beyond the current calendar year. The Barnat open pit was originally scheduled to be mined out by early 2029. Pending the results of the ongoing geotechnical review, Agnico Eagle anticipates the rock mass movement will curb production by up to 150,000 ounces annually in both 2027 and 2028. Management is currently evaluating strategies to mitigate this multi-year deficit. Despite the setback at the open-pit level, Agnico Eagle confirmed the incident will not disrupt the development timeline or production outlook for the adjacent Odyssey mine. The objective to achieve 1 million ounces of annualized gold production from Canadian Malartic by the early 2030s remains completely intact. Further updates regarding a safe restart timeline, as well as revised production and cost guidance, will be detailed in the company's second-quarter earnings report on July 29.

Read original →Ongoing wildfires and processing equipment failures have forced temporary shutdowns at two uranium operations in Northern Saskatchewan's prolific Athabasca Basin region. Uranium explorer IsoEnergy (TSX:ISO,NYSEAMERICAN:ISOU) has halted exploration and evacuated the majority of its field personnel from the Larocque East project following direct advisement from the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA), which cited dangerous conditions from an encroaching, lightning-caused wildfire. While the flames do not currently pose a direct threat to the site, three contractors remain at the camp to operate pump and sprinkler systems to protect infrastructure. IsoEnergy confirmed in a Monday (June 29) press release that all personnel are accounted for with no injuries reported, noting that crews have secured drill core storage and equipment prior to the evacuation. The company expects the delay to last up to a week, but maintains it will complete its 8,000 meter summer drill program. SPSA officials reported 56 active wildfires on Tuesday (June 30), with 41 igniting in the past week predominantly from lightning strikes. Precipitation in the southern half of the province is providing logistical relief for fire crews. “(With the) rain activity and the (precipitation) we’ve been receiving in the south, conditions have been favourable for us, so that everything is nice and wet,” SPSA Executive Director of Land Operations Bryan Chartrand told Global News. To support containment, the SPSA is backfilling its aerial suppression fleet while two provincial waterbombers undergo maintenance and federally regulated inspections. New Brunswick has deployed four 802 skimmer aircraft and one Bird Dog plane to the province, supplemented by a federal Q400 aircraft. Cameco suspends mining at Cigar Lake On Wednesday (July 1), uranium producer Cameco (TSX:CCO,NYSE:CCJ) suspended mining operations at its Cigar Lake operation due to a structural failure downstream at Orano’s McClean Lake mill, which processes Cigar Lake’s ore. The mill's sulfuric acid plant is currently shut down for repairs. Because Cigar Lake lacks sufficient on-site ore storage, extraction is fully paused until Orano secures an alternative acid supply or finishes repairs. Cameco anticipates a two week delay and is holding its 2026 production outlook steady, though it warned that a prolonged repair schedule at McClean Lake poses a direct risk to annual output. The Cigar Lake shutdown marks Cameco’s second major operational disruption in Northern Saskatchewan in recent months, following a production suspension at its Key Lake mill when regional flooding destroyed a critical supply bridge.
