Mining, Energy, Resources, Gaming, News, Politics, Culture Australia and Global May 26/27, 2025 Lee blasts Star board for pocketing fees, skimming homework The Australian Securities & Investments Commission is pursuing legal action against a number former directors and executives of casino operator Star Entertainment. ASIC alleges they breached their obligations to prevent money laundering by Asian-based junket operators, with Federal Court judge Michael Lee hearing closing arguments on Monday from Michael Henry SC, counsel for Star's non-executive directors. Lee stated that part of the former board's defence seemed to be that its non-executive directors should not be required to look through the many hundreds of documents that might have shed light on the probity of those involved in the junkets, despite being happy to accept the generous fees they were paid; Star's non-executive directors in question received a total of $1.62m in fees in 2017. (RMS) News Tabcorp to cut commissions for 1300 pubs Tabcorp CEO Gillon McLachlan says the gambling company needs to persuade pub owners that its betting terminals are an asset and not a cost. Tabcorp is planning to stop paying pubs a daily fee for hosting its terminals, and while it will still pay pubs a commission on turnover, around 1,300 are likely to fall below a threshold for being eligible to receive them. However, Tabcorp is planning to launch a range of new promotions available only to gamblers in pubs, such as 'Tabtime' on Saturday afternoons. (Roy Morgan Summary) News Next Rio chief urged to deal with 'challenging' frontiers Church of England Pensions Board spokesman Adam Matthews says Rio Tinto must continue to invest in "challenging jurisdictions" under the successor to outgoing CEO Jakob Stausholm. Rio Tinto and major rival BHP have increased their exposure to resources projects in regions such as Africa in recent years, while Rio Tinto is under renewed scrutiny over its stake in the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia. Matthews has also praised Stausholm, noting that he took the helm at a difficult time for Rio Tinto. Matthews adds that he supports maintaining Rio Tinto's dual-listed structure, and he says he issue is an unnecessary distraction at present. (RMS) News Green light for Rio's stockpile despite asbestos risk Western Australia's Department of Water and Environmental Regulation has given Rio Tinto permission to increase the amount of railway ballast material it stores within its Gudai-Darri iron ore project in the Pilbara. The 166km-long Gudai-Darri rail line passes through the Wittenoom Asbestos Management Area, with Wittenoom once the site of Australia's largest asbestos mine; over 2,000 of the workers and residents of Wittenoom have so far died from asbestos-related diseases. Ballast material located within the area is crushed and screened extremely close to a source of public drinking water, with the DWER of the view that Rio has the procedures in place to manage the risk of the water potentially being contaminated with asbestos. (RMS) News BHP chops 100 local jobs, joining rival Rio Tinto in iron ore axings BHP is believed to have primarily targeted middle-management roles in the latest downsizing of its Pilbara workforce. BHP is said to have retrenched about 100 employees and contractors at its flagship iron ore division last week; the resources giant started to scale back its workforce in early 2024 by disbanding specialist teams and folding their staff into its broader operations. The latest latest round of redundancies is not expected to affect BHP's target of producing 305 million tonnes of Pilbara iron ore in the medium-term. Rival iron ore producer Rio Tinto axed about 500 jobs in 2024. (RMS) News Iron throne is waiting A report released by think tank The Superpower Institute on Monday contends that Australia has the potential to develop an industry worth $400 billion a year through the manufacture of green iron. The term refers to the smelting of iron using renewable energy rather than fossil fuels, with Geraldton and Kwinana in Western Australia well placed to host iron-making plants, due to their proximity to the Pilbara iron ore region and connection to the wholesale electricity market, while the report argues that government assistance will be needed if an Australian green iron industry is to become a reality. (Roy Morgan Summary) News Australian Mining News Leadership Changes: Rio Tinto’s CEO Jakob Stausholm will step down by the end of 2025, with Fortescue also announcing leadership refinements, including the retirement of CEO Energy Mark Hutchinson and COO Shelley Robertson. Critical Minerals Focus: The Australian government is pushing to become a global leader in critical minerals. The Queensland Resources Common User Facility in Townsville, focusing initially on vanadium, has begun construction to boost the critical minerals sector. Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King announced the Critical Minerals Strategic Reserve to counter global trade disruptions, particularly from China’s export controls on rare earths and gallium. Gold Mining Surge: Record gold prices above AUD 5,000 per ounce are driving renewed interest in Western Australia, with old mines like Youanmi and Bullabulling being revived. Greatland Gold is raising $50 million via an IPO for a dual ASX-AIM listing to fund its Telfer mine and other projects in the Paterson Range. Coal and Efficiency: An Australian coal mine adopted BME’s AXXIS electronic initiation system to enhance blast precision and reduce bulldozer use, improving efficiency in overburden management. Glencore’s Ulan Coal Mine expansion in NSW was approved to extract 18.8 million more tonnes, despite environmental concerns over habitat loss. Sustainability and Innovation: Liebherr-MCCtec GmbH earned an EcoVadis gold medal for sustainable practices. Fortescue plans a 2.1 GW wind farm and battery storage system in the Pilbara to eliminate fossil fuel use at its iron ore operations by 2030. Vertex Minerals is using TOMRA’s LASER ore sorting technology at its Hill End project to enhance gold processing efficiency. Economic and Cybersecurity Risks: A cybersecurity expert warned that a cyberattack on Western Australia’s mining sector could halve national revenue, highlighting the need for robust defenses. Mining stocks rose 0.6% on the ASX, driven by uranium and higher metal prices, though banks offset broader market gains. Other Developments: Andromeda is advancing its Great White kaolin project in South Australia, aiming for 333,000 tonnes annually of refined kaolin. The Minerals Council of Australia endorsed the Northern Territory’s 2025–26 Budget for supporting mining infrastructure. Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff urged federal support for 250 workers affected by the Liberty Bell Bay smelter’s operational pause.

(Roy Morgan Summary) News Beware the rally in iron ore above $US100, it might not last The iron ore price has peaked at more than $US101 per tonne in Singapore trading on Wednesday, which is its highest level in about six weeks.

Mining, Energy, Resources, News, Culture Australia May 14, 2025 Trump needs our minerals The lower level of tariffs that the US and China negotiated in Switzerland will prevent the total collapse of world trade while the two nations try to negotiate an operating model. The China tit-for-tat tariff game was classic Donald Trump. However, the US President now understands that his ability to play that game is curbed by the inability of the US to access terbium and other heavy rare earths, for which it is currently reliant on China. Australia has large deposits of these minerals and can speed up production. It is likely that Ukraine also has these minerals, although its rare earth deposits require more drilling and exploration, which has not been possible due to the war. Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine are set to meet in Turkey to discuss a peace deal; there may be a role for China in these talks, while part of any settlement is likely to involve Ukraine's rare earths. (RMS) News No rush to strike a tariff deal with volatile Trump Australia is among more than 50 countries that hope to negotiate a better tariffs arrangement with the Trump administration in the wake of the global turmoil caused by the so-called 'Liberation Day' in early April. Australia failed to receive an exemption from the baseline tariff of 10 per cent and a tariff of 25 per cent on steel and aluminium exports, despite being one of the few countries that has a trade surplus with the US. However, government officials have indicated that Labor will adopt a "wait and see" approach, and assess the outcome of other countries' negotiations with the US before seeking a deal on tariffs. News Fortescue has stated that 'green' hydrogen is the "fuel of the future", and the company is still confident that it can establish a green iron industry in Australia. However, Fortescue has retrenched about 90 workers at its hydrogen projects in Queensland and Western Australia. Macquarie recently held its annual investor conference, and notes that other companies are also slowing down their investment in clean energy. Despite the shift in sentiment towards the energy transition, some investors have urged the federal government to set a 2035 emissions reduction target within the first 100 days of its second term in office. (Roy Morgan Summary) News Rio Tinto's declining iron ore blend to hit revenues Rio Tinto has advised Asian steel mills that the iron content in each tonne of its flagship 'Pilbara Blend Fines' product will be permanently reduced from 61.6 per cent to 60.8 per cent. The change is scheduled to take effect in the September quarter, and reflects a decline in the quality of Rio Tinto's iron ore. The downgrade will affect the company's earnings, while independent economist Saul Eslake says it is also likely to have an impact on the federal and Western Australian governments' budgets. Rio Tinto has also indicated that its Pilbara Blend Fines will also have higher levels of impurities. (RMS) News BHP boss doubts recovery as world leans towards curbs on free trade Rio Tinto Jakob Stausholm and BHP counterpart Mike Henry addressed a Bank of America conference on Tuesday. Stausholm said that Rio Tinto is prioritising its US mines and processing plants, because the US will need to import a lot of minerals. Meanwhile, Henry has warned that the temporary tariff pause between the US and China is unlikely to result in a resurgence in free and open trade. He added that the worst outcome would be an escalating global trade war involving tariffs and counter-tariffs, which would lead to slower global economic growth over the long term. Henry believes that the most likely outcome is somewhere between these two scenarios. (RMS) Critical minerals bonanza might be hidden in waste The Mine Reuse Project has been launched by the Geological Survey of NSW, Geoscience Australia and the University of Queensland. The project is analysing the waste deposits of current and defunct mines in NSW to determine if they contain critical minerals that had previously been overlooked. Analysis of 1,200 samples of mine waste has found elevated concentrations of 11 critical minerals and metals across 28 current and abandoned mines. The project could potentially lead to the reopening of mines across NSW, and provide a new source of the minerals that are crucial to the energy transition and whose global supply is dominated by China at present.

Cryptos, Fintech, Comms, Mining, All That Glitters - Pop Culture, News April 24, 2025 Sydney, Australia The Rapid Assault on Crypto Market Picture The cryptocurrency market capitalisation surged by 6.4% in the past 24 hours, reaching $2.95 trillion — its highest level in seven weeks and a confident return to a key round figure. Global financial markets underpinned this rally. However, it’s worth noting that the market was already gaining ground on Monday, in defiance of declining stock indices. Sentiment in the cryptocurrency space has swiftly shifted towards greed and is now steps away from extreme greed, with the relevant index climbing to 72, the highest since late January. Bitcoin is nearing the $94,000 mark, which it briefly surpassed in early March. Sustained trading above this level was last observed in late February, before the most recent sell-off began. The market has signalled a clear bullish trend, initiating a sharp rise from the 50-day moving average and breaking through the 200-day with determination. In recent days, the price has also exceeded the downward resistance that had been in place since late January. The next target seems to be the $96,000 region, but the broader picture suggests a rally gaining momentum with the potential to challenge all-time highs near $110,000. News Background Last week, MicroStrategy acquired an additional 6,556 BTC for $555.8 million at an average price of $84,785 per coin. The company now holds 538,200 BTC, accumulated at an average cost of $67,766. The total investment is estimated at $36.47 billion. Shares of consumer goods producer Upexi skyrocketed more than sixfold after the company announced that Solana would be adopted as a reserve asset. The company plans to bolster its position in SOL and stake the tokens it possesses. According to Lookonchain, Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital has exchanged $105 million worth of Ethereum for Solana over the past fortnight. Paul Atkins has officially been sworn in as the new Chair of the US SEC. He has stated that developing a clear and comprehensible regulatory framework for digital assets is a top priority. According to Politico, the ECB is concerned that President Trump’s backing of the crypto industry could trigger “financial contagion” and adversely impact the European economy. The regulator is particularly apprehensive about the escalating influence of US dollar-backed stablecoins.

Analysts suggest resistance at $88,000, with predictions for 2025 ranging from a low of $71,827 to a high of $167,598. Some experts forecast BTC could hit $100,000 in Q2 2025, fueled by institutional inflows and whale activity. Ethereum (ETH) Rally: Ethereum gained 10% on April 22, reaching above $1,700, following a decline in short positions on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. This rally aligns with broader market recovery and reduced tariff concerns. Altcoin Performance: Altcoins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Sui (SUI) saw gains of 8.6% and 11.7%, respectively, while the CoinDesk 20 Index rose 5.2%. XRP, however, remains under scrutiny, with a crypto founder warning that holding less than 10,000 XRP could be a long-term mistake. Mantra (OM) Struggles: Mantra (OM) continues to face challenges after a 90% crash earlier in April, with Binance attributing the drop to liquidations and increased token supply. Technical patterns suggest further declines. Shiba Inu (SHIB) Outlook: A panel of 26 experts predicts SHIB could reach $0.0000399 by the end of 2025, an 84.3% increase from early 2025 prices, driven by community support and development. Trump Media's Crypto Pivot: Trump Media & Technology Group announced plans to launch crypto products and ETFs, aligning with "America First" policies, in partnership with Crypto.com and Yorkville Advisors. Regulatory Developments: New York introduced a bill to accept cryptocurrencies as payment, and Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott announced crypto legislation could pass by August, signaling a push for market structure reforms. Market Sentiment: Posts on X highlight bullish sentiment, with significant BTC accumulation (48,000 BTC worth $3.6B moved to addresses on April 9) and Binance emerging as a preferred trading platform. For real-time updates, checking platforms like CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, or X posts is recommended, as crypto markets are highly dynamic. Always verify claims, as sentiment on X can be speculative. News Australian 'Minerals for mates': PM digs in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the federal government's proposed strategic reserve of critical minerals and rare earths will make Australia "stronger and safer" in a time of global uncertainty. Albanese will announce details of the proposed national stockpile today; it will aim to ensure that such minerals are available to both local manufacturers and key allies, such as Japan, South Korea and the US. The government is expected to use the strategic reserve as a bargaining chip to negotiate an exemption from the Trump administration's tariffs regime. The strategic reserve is also aimed at reducing China's market dominance in the global supply of rare earths and critical minerals. (Roy Morgan Summary) News Europe’s Growth Stalls Again as the Euro Enters Correction Mode The Flash PMI estimates for the Eurozone show the complexity of the situation. Due to falling orders and falling business confidence, the composite index for the Eurozone was at 50.1 in April, struggling to cling to growth (above 50), down from 50.9 in March. The Manufacturing PMI at 48.7 remains in contractionary territory, although its reading is the highest since January 2023 and notably above the expected 47.4. However, this upward move is threatened by the intensification of tariff wars since the start of April, which could cause a shock to the indices in the coming months. The Service PMI also retreated below the waterline to 49.7 from 51.0 a month earlier, missing economists' expectations of an average decline to 50.4. In terms of volatility potential for the euro, preliminary PMIs are the second strongest market event after ECB decisions. However, this time, the single currency faltered a bit before we saw the disappointment in the latest data. EURUSD added almost 7.5% in April to 1.1570 (a 3.5-year high) at the start of the week before it stalled and started to correct. Even before this news, the pair was approaching 1.1300, stabilising near 1.1400 at the time of writing. Recent fluctuations in the pair have been hard to miss. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we see the dollar attempting to strengthen following Powell's easing pressure and Trump's invitation to China for trade talks. Historically, EURUSD has a positive correlation with stock indices, but in April, bad news for the S&P500 and Nasdaq-100 pushed up the value of gold and the euro exchange rate. This historical direct correlation is supporting EURUSD intraday on Wednesday. The main obstacle to growth appears to be the pair's local overbought condition at the start of the week, which has shown maximum RSI values on weekly timeframes since 2018. At such levels, there are high chances of rather painful pullbacks for short-term traders.
