Mining Review 26th December 2022

The talking point of the week was the order by the Panamanian government to First Quantum Minerals to stop mining at their Cobre Panama giant copper mine, as the two sides cannot agree a new mining agreement.

They have agreed a new tax rate increasing by around $350 million the payments to the Panamanian government, but First Quantum want a scaled approach depending upon the price of copper, and this is the crux of the problem.

It’s beer and popcorn time as the mine provides 3.5% of Panama’s GDP, and First Quantum have invested billions in the project, so an agreement will have to be made, let’s see who blinks first.

 

Turning to those stocks we follow on our watchlist, i-80 Gold and Rokmaster Resources both announced good gold discoveries, and Cyprium Metals announced an offtake prepayment facility of their Nifty Copper project.

Colonial Coal had to reassure the market after a triple whammy of tax loss selling, the Tech deal with Conuma, and the Glencore B.C. authorities’ project rejection all weighed heavily on CAD’s shareprice.
