Copper ($14,283/t) – Copper falls 3.6% and heads for its first weekly loss since June as the White House stalls on tariffs
- Copper fell 3.6% in London Thursday, after touching a record earlier.
- The rally rested on an expected US tariff on refined copper.
- Reuters reported the White House has still not decided on tariffs, weighing higher manufacturing costs against support for US mining.
- The administration is focused on affordability before November’s midterms shifting market sentiment towards a no or low tariff result.
- The Department of Commerce delivered its update to Trump by the 30 June deadline, so the delay sits with the White House.
- Cash to three-month spreads flipped to a $10.65/t contango, from $42/t backwardation the day before with the physical tightness supporting prices also gone.
- Hedge funds hold large longs, and copper now tracks the S&P 500 more closely than in decades.
- Grasberg remains at 50% output but recovering slowly with a target of 65% by the year end
Copper mine production continues to fall in Chile
- Los Pelambres produced 19,400t in July, down 23% yoy (Cochilco).
- Escondida fell 22% yoy to 89,400t.
- Codelco fell 4.8% yoy to 112,800t.
China ships its first sulphuric acid cargo since May
- China halted its own acid exports in May to keep its fertiliser makers supplied.
- The acid export ban appears to remain, with further shipments seen as exceptions.
- A vessel carrying 32,000t has now left Nanjing, due at Chile’s Mejillones by end-September (Kpler).
- The cargo is believed to be a swap between Tongling and a Chilean miner of acid for copper concentrate, both in short supply.
- China’s export ban is hurting miners in Chile, the DRC and Zambia where acid is imported for the leaching of copper from ore. Sulphuric acid supply has been short since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Gold ($4,350/oz) – Gold falls as producer prices lift rate rise bets
- Gold dropped nearly 2% Thursday.
- US producer prices rose 0.4% in August, in line with expectations.

- US consumer prices land at 12:30 GMT today.
- The ECB raised rates for the second time this year and warned price pressures could prove lasting.
- Houthi forces seized Yemen’s port of Mocha and advanced along the Red Sea coast.
- Trump said he expects the Iran war to end after the US midterm elections.
Tin ($53,650/t) – US-backed refiner locks up an Australian tin supply
- Nathan Trotter will buy up to 100% of Huntore Australia’s tin concentrate from Queensland.
- The multiyear offtake is financed by STG Metals, a trader funded by the partners of Squarepoint Capital.
- Nathan Trotter, founded in 1789, won a $19m Defense Department grant in late 2024.
- That grant was to build domestic tin processing for defence, aviation and microelectronics.
- Tin goes into the solder connecting semiconductors, so it sits in defence supply chains.
- The deal is part of the US push to counter China’s hold on critical mineral processing.

EV & Battery news:
China halts new battery factory projects on overcapacity fears
- China has suspended construction of new battery projects, pending a year-end capacity review (Caixin).
- Approved and under-construction projects go ahead, those in planning could be stopped.
- About 100 projects signed between January and July total ~2,608.5GWh a year.
- That exceeds the 1,755.6GWh China produced in all of 2025.
- Officials want to avoid repeating solar, where overbuilding led to price wars and heavy losses.
China unveils latest five-year NEV plan, targeting 70% of passenger-car sales by 2030 and large-scale autonomous driving
- China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, alongside 8 other government departments including the Ministry of Transport, has published a 2026-2030 development plan targeting NEVs at 70% of domestic new passenger-car sales and 40% of new commercial-vehicle sales by 2030, with autonomous driving deployed at scale.
- The plan aims to establish China among the world’s leading automotive powers by 2030, targeting highly automated driving on highways, urban expressways, and some city roads.
- Alongside broader adoption, the plan calls for tighter oversight of vehicle and battery manufacturing capacity, strict conditions on new standalone NEV manufacturers, and increased mergers, restructuring, and cross-regional consolidation to phase out inefficient capacity.
- It also targets stronger antitrust and pricing enforcement, curbing improper local subsidies, tax breaks, and land incentives used to attract investment.
- Technology targets include average electricity consumption of about 11.5kWh per 100km for battery-electric passenger cars and average fuel consumption of 3.3 litres per 100km for passenger cars by 2030, alongside gaps to close in automotive chips, operating systems, and industrial software.
- The plan also targets a 15% rise in labour productivity from 2025 levels and aims to place several Chinese automakers among the global top 10 by sales.
- On overseas expansion, the plan supports trade, investment, and technology partnerships, encourages shared overseas spare-parts warehouses across brands, and requires equal treatment of domestic and foreign companies in government procurement.
- Implementation measures include maintaining NEV tax incentives, continuing vehicle trade-in support, promoting rural NEV adoption, and backing city bus and battery replacement programmes.

(Phoenix holds 80% of the Empire mining property in Idaho)
- Empire Mine open-pit PFS being updated by Hardrock Consulting.
- Proven & Probable mineral reserves of 10.1m grading 0.49% copper (49,677t), 104,000oz gold and 4,6moz silver based on assays from 485 drill holes etc…
- Copper sulphide potential beneath the open-pit:
- There is substantial potential for a significant copper sulphide resource below the current open pit and around the historic Empire mine underground workings.

- Processing is a simple crush-grind-float-tank leach-cementation circuit to recover copper, silver and gold in a concentrate and a cement copper stream.
- Process plant to sit the company’s patented mining claims near the open-pit reducing capital and operating costs.
- The float circuit is being designed to recover copper, gold, and silver as a concentrate from the higher-grade sulphide vein material that exists below the open-pit.
- “Historically mined grades from the sulphide vein system below the open-pit were recorded as high as 8% copper, with smelter recoveries at the time recorded as averaging 3.64% copper, 1.64 g/t gold, and 54 g/t silver.“
- The 2024 PFS outlines:
- Pre-tax cumulative net free cash flow of >$230m at current metal prices
