Newmont reaffirmed its 2026 production guidance after reporting record quarterly free cash flow of US$2.2 billion. The company produced 1.3 million oz of gold, 17,000 mt of copper and 7 million oz of silver in the second quarter. Newmont said construction of a nearshore barrier at its Lihir gold mine in Papua New Guinea is expected to unlock more than 5 million oz of additional gold resources from 2028. The company also reported adjusted EBITDA of US$3.8 billion and returned approximately US$1.9 billion to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.

全球最大煤炭生产商Coal India公布2026财年第一季度业绩，合并净利润同比仅增长0.6%至885.2亿卢比，低于市场预期的994.3亿卢比。业绩不及预期主要受煤炭产量下降及运营成本上升拖累，尽管煤炭销售均价有所提高。报告期内，公司煤炭产量同比下降7%，销量同比增长4%；总成本同比增长约12%至3,681.6亿卢比，导致净利率由上年同期的27%降至19%。业内认为，随着采矿成本持续攀升，公司盈利能力短期仍将面临一定压力。

Coal India reported a 0.6% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to INR 88.52 billion for the first quarter, missing market expectations of INR 99.43 billion. The weaker-than-expected performance was driven by lower coal production and higher operating costs, despite stronger coal price realizations. Coal production declined 7% year-on-year during the quarter, while sales increased 4%. Total expenses rose about 12% to INR 368.16 billion, reducing the company's net profit margin to 19% from 27% a year earlier.
