Projeto de lei de Gana propõe ação especial do Estado e prazos mais curtos para concessões de mineração
[SMM Gold Flash] Um projeto de lei de mineração analisado pela Reuters em 30 de setembro permitiria que o ministro de Minas de Gana exigisse que as empresas emitissem ao Estado uma ação especial gratuita com direitos de consentimento sobre transações importantes. Ele manteria a participação estatal gratuita existente de 10% e limitaria as concessões de mineração a 15 anos ou à vida útil projetada da mina, o que for menor. O projeto também permitiria regras futuras que exijam processamento local e restrinjam a exportação de concentrados não processados. Nenhuma dessas propostas foi promulgada; a Reuters não estabeleceu quando o projeto foi elaborado. Para os mineradores de ouro de Gana, os direitos propostos e as concessões mais curtas podem afetar o financiamento, as avaliações e as decisões de renovação. De acordo com o projeto, os atuais titulares de direitos que buscam renovação receberiam consideração prioritária para licenças equivalentes. As empresas de mineração esperam mais consultas antes do debate parlamentar, informou a Reuters. O texto final e o cronograma permanecem incertos.

PGMs: Testes independentes avançam a tecnologia de baterias de platina e paládio
[SMM PGM Flash] A Platinum Group Metals declarou em 1º de outubro que testes independentes realizados pelo Battery Innovation Center validaram os eletrodos à base de platina e paládio de sua subsidiária Lion Battery em células protótipo de lítio-enxofre. Em comparação com células sem os catalisadores, os protótipos apresentaram melhor capacidade e desempenho de taxa, com as formulações ricas em paládio tendo o melhor desempenho geral. A Platinum Group e a Valterra Platinum, que detêm 52% e 48% da Lion, respectivamente, aprovaram financiamento para a próxima fase. O resultado oferece um possível novo uso para os PGMs além dos catalisadores de escapamento veicular, mas permanece um marco em nível de protótipo. A Lion planeja fabricar e testar células pouch, refinar os catalisadores e avaliar aplicações, incluindo drones. O desempenho comercial e a demanda por volumes significativos de PGMs ainda precisam ser estabelecidos. O trabalho é relevante para fornecedores da África Austral: a Valterra produz PGMs na África do Sul e no Zimbábue, enquanto a Platinum Group está desenvolvendo o projeto Waterberg na África do Sul.

[SMM PGM Flash] A Sibanye-Stillwater anunciou em 30 de setembro que os trabalhadores de sua mina de platina e paládio East Boulder, em Montana, ratificaram um acordo coletivo com o United Steelworkers.

Isso não resolve a outra greve nem demonstra uma recuperação na produção; a empresa não divulgou nenhuma orientação de produção revisada neste comunicado.
