Projet de loi ghanéen proposant une action spécifique de l'État et des baux miniers plus courts
[SMM Flash Or] Un projet de loi minière consulté par Reuters le 30 septembre permettrait au ministre ghanéen des Mines d'exiger des sociétés qu'elles émettent à l'État une action spéciale gratuite assortie de droits de consentement sur les transactions majeures. Il conserverait la participation gratuite existante de 10 % de l'État et limiterait les baux miniers à 15 ans ou à la durée de vie prévue de la mine, selon la plus courte des deux. Le projet autoriserait également de futures règles imposant une transformation locale et restreignant les exportations de concentrés non traités. Aucune de ces propositions n'a été adoptée ; Reuters n'a pas établi quand le projet a été préparé. Pour les producteurs d'or du Ghana, les droits proposés et les baux plus courts pourraient affecter le financement, les valorisations et les décisions de renouvellement. Selon le projet, les titulaires de droits existants demandant un renouvellement bénéficieraient d'une considération prioritaire pour des licences équivalentes. Les sociétés minières s'attendent à de nouvelles consultations avant le débat parlementaire, a rapporté Reuters. La formulation finale et le calendrier restent incertains.

[SMM PGM Flash] Platinum Group Metals a annoncé le 1er octobre que des tests indépendants réalisés par le Battery Innovation Center avaient validé les électrodes à base de platine et de palladium de sa filiale Lion Battery dans des cellules prototypes lithium-soufre. Comparés aux cellules sans catalyseurs, les prototypes ont montré une meilleure capacité et une meilleure tenue en puissance, les formulations riches en palladium offrant les meilleures performances globales. Platinum Group et Valterra Platinum, qui détiennent respectivement 52 % et 48 % de Lion, ont approuvé le financement de la phase suivante. Ce résultat ouvre une possible nouvelle utilisation des MGP au-delà des catalyseurs d'échappement automobile, mais reste une étape au stade de prototype. Lion prévoit de fabriquer et de tester des cellules poches, d'affiner les catalyseurs et d'évaluer des applications telles que les drones. Les performances commerciales et la demande de volumes significatifs de MGP restent à établir. Ces travaux concernent les fournisseurs d'Afrique australe : Valterra produit des MGP en Afrique du Sud et au Zimbabwe, tandis que Platinum Group développe le projet Waterberg en Afrique du Sud.
