Gold ($4,055/oz) stabilises lower as dollar rally fades and tensions remain elevated in the Middle East

  • Gold prices failed to capitalise on Friday’s rally, rising from recent lows of $3,975/oz to $4.100/oz.
  • The move was supported by a reversal in the dollar’s recent rally, which was triggered by a more hawkish FOMC meeting.
  • Gold bounced off $4,100/oz and has subsequently fallen 1% this morning.
  • US Treasuries have rallied, with the 10 year yield holding below 4.4%, supporting gold.
  • However, tensions escalated marginally between the US and Iran over the weekend, before statements suggested the two would meet again this week and halt strikes.

Copper ($13,355/t) rebounds from recent lows as Chinese smelters boost pyrite purchases on sulphur shortages

  • Copper struggled last week amid a wider metals sell-off on the dollar’s post-Fed rally.
  • LME copper prices hit recent lows of $13,100/t before rebounding on Friday.
  • Copper prices are up 35% over the past 12 months but have faded from record highs of $14,500/t.
  • Reuters has reported that Chinese smelters are boosting purchases of unroasted pyrite to the highest level since 2014.
  • The increase reflects shortages of sulphuric acid and subsequent price increases, with pyrite offering an alternative source of supply and revenue stream for smelters.
  • Smelters are boosting by-product revenues amid low TCRCs.

Nickel ($16,639/t) – Indonesia to decide on 2026 mining quotas following July review

  • The Indonesian government says it has not yet set its 2026 nickel ore quota and will review the situation in July.
  • The news pushes back potential for an upward revision to the quotas where speculation reports potential for a jump to 360mt or ore mined.
  • APNI, The Indonesian Nickel Miners Association backs the caution, saying cuts to ~250-270mt helped nickel prices recover to $17,000 to $19,000/t.
  • The government aims to feed the smelters without flooding the market and crashing the price.

Phillipines – Analyst from Transisi Bersih, are warning the Philippines may be selling its nickel too cheaply

  • As Indonesia tightens its own ore supply, Chinese smelters in Indonesia are buying more nickel laterite ores from the Philippines.
  • Local analysts are urging production limits and export taxes with ore exports seen as draining reserves before the Philippines builds its own smelters.

Tin ($51,390/t) – Shanghai leads prices higher

  • The SHFE tin contract rose 1.94% this morning leading LME prices higher as buyers restocked following last weeks correction

  • Today’s announcement includes a graph showing an increase in the gold content of the company’s ore reserves from a total 3.1moz at December 2024 to the current 5.0moz as a result of an additional 1.3moz contained in  open pit reserves at Telfer (partially offset by 400,000oz of depletion from mine production) , 200,000oz of gold contained in the underground reserves at Telfer and a further 900,000oz in the Havieron reserves.
  • Today’s announcement explains that “Significant Mineral Resources have not been considered for this ORE, with some areas of open pit first requiring further drilling to convert to Indicated categorisation”.
  • These include:
    • ‘Indicated & Inferred’ resources of 3.5moz of gold and 103kt of copper hosted within 244mt at an average grade of 0.45g/t gold and 0.04% copper at the West Dome Open Pit; and
    • 2.6moz of gold and 201kt of copper hosted in ‘Indicated & Inferred’ resources of 53.9mt at average grades of 1.53g/t gold and 0.37% copper in the Main Dome Underground (MDU), West Dome Underground (WDU) and the Vertical Stockwork Corridor (VSC) areas.
  • The announcement also highlights “Potential to convert 42% more gold from Inferred Resources that is treated as waste within the ORE … [open] … pit shell … [and the] … Potential to convert 8% more gold from Inferred Resources contained within underground mining shapes but treated as unmineralised waste dilution in the underground ORE”.
  • The increased reserve estimate for Telfer reflects the underlying mineral resource estimate of 417mt at an average grade of 0.59g/t gold and 0.09% copper containing 7.9moz of gold and 369kt of copper.
  • The Telfer Resources comprise:
    • 2.7mt of ‘Measured’ resources at an average grade of 0.66g/t gold and 0.11% copper; and
    • 182mt of ‘Indicated’ resources at an average grade of 0.67g/t gold and 0.12% copper; and
    • 233mt of ‘Inferred’ resources at an average grade of 0.53g/t gold and 0.06% copper; and
  • Managing Director, Shaun Day, explained that the “substantial uplift in reserves at Telfer only reflects drilling from just our first 12 months of ownership, with ongoing high cadence drilling planned to support future resource and reserve upgrades”.
  • He also said that “We see strong potential to bring on additional high-grade underground mining areas and yield significant growth in future reserve updates via ongoing studies at the West Dome Underground and Main Dome Underground VSC”.
  • He said that “Our drilling success to date clearly demonstrates the scale of Telfer’s mineral system which underpins the opportunity to continue fully utilising our low cost and large-scale processing infrastructure well into the future”.

Conclusion: The reserve increase at Telfer builds on the increased ore resources announced in March and the fruits of the company’s commitment to a major 240,000m resource conversion and expansion drilling programme currently continuing.

Savannah Resources* (SAV LN) 6.3p, Mkt Cap £162m – Temporary land access reconfirmed allowing works to resume immediately

BUY

  • The Portugues State lifts the suspensions on the temporary land easement and allows fieldwork to restart immediately at the Barroso Lithium Project, Portugal.
  • The decision comes on the back of Covas do Barroso Baldios, a communal land representative, challenging the land easement order issued in early May and filing a “precautionary measure” against the Portuguese Ministry for the Environment & Energy.
  • The State highlighted national and European significance status of the project and potential, noting that suspension would cause “serious and difficult-to-remedy harm to the public interest.”
  • The State also cited Savannah’s conduct under the first easement in 2025 as having been carried out in strict compliance with the approved work programme, with no significant damage attributable to the works.
  • The company will now resume the field programme and complete the work as planned.
  • DFS work remains on target for the release in July.

Conclusion: The State reaffirmed the temporary land easement order implying an ongoing support for the Barroso Lithium Project. This is the second time a local challenge has been ruled in the project’s favour, following a similar dispute in early 2025 resolved within two weeks. Importantly, the State explicitly noted that the Company acted in strict compliance with the previous land easement order, adding to Savannah’s track record as a responsible developer in the region.

Xtract Resources (XTR LN) 1.15p, Mkt Cap £15m – 2025 results describe progress in Morocco and Zambia

  • Xtract Resources reports a 2025 loss of £2.04m (2024 loss £0.86m) and a closing cash balance of £2.29m.
  • The company highlights operational progress with the Moroccan Amghas / Ighoud antimony project where “Exploration and mine clearing at Amghas … [has] … identified high-grade antimony mineralisation (including up to 15-40% Sb) amenable to preliminary gravity-processing whilst a larger flotation plant is developed.
  • The exploration has “identified several high-priority zones, including vein systems that extend beyond the immediate historic workings, and in some places extend between other known historical workings, spanning several km of strike.
  • Executive Chairman, Colin Bird, confirmed that since the end of the financial year Xtract Resources “elected to build a gravity separation plant at mine site and produce a antimony concentrate between 15-20%. A mining licence was received in June 2026 and the Company has applied for a mineral processing licence and on receipt, intend to build a full flotation facility to produce high grade antimony concentrates”.
  • In Zambia, drilling “at the historic Silverking Cu-Ag deposit … was successful in identifying significant extensions to the high-grade copper-silver mineralisation”.
  • The drilling at Silverking intersected “Consistent intervals of high-grade copper mineralisation… over downhole widths of up to 25m, whilst the surface expression of mineralisation tripled to over 260m.
  • Mr. Bird reported that “we have decided to develop a ramp to the 140m below surface level … [at Silverking] … leaving a crown pillar between the open pit and the underground mine. The underground mine will target the exceptionally high sulphide mineralisation, towards the expiration of the open pit mine life, thus continuing continuity of operations.
  • Also in Zambia, the company has decided to “relinquish the Chilibwe and Western Foreland licences … enabling the Company to concentrate on higher-priority assets although initial scout drilling and exploration of the Western Foreland licence “identified the presence of prospective basin architecture that hosts mineralisation elsewhere in the region”.

Conclusion: Moving towards production of antimony concentrates in Morocco and focussing on the Silverking mine in Zambia in preference to wider regional exploration.
