            <description><![CDATA[LONDON – Global oil supply and demand will fall further than previously thought this year, the International Energy Agency said on Friday, as a lack of progress in ending the Iran war delays the return of normal Middle East flows into 2027 and sends fuel prices soaring. An increase in attacks on oil tankers in Middle East shipping routes has helped send crude prices towards $110 a barrel this week for the first time since May. But this hike is overshadowed by the surging price of fuels such as diesel, which have hit record highs.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[DAKAR – Ghana's mining regulator is developing minimum wage and tender benchmarks for contract mining firms, seeking to curb aggressive underbidding as the country pushes miners to outsource more operations to local contractors, a senior official said on Thursday. Ghana, Africa's top gold producer, in January 2025 ordered miners to shift surface operations — blasting, loading, hauling and dumping — to Ghanaian-owned contractors and underground operations to joint ventures with at least 50% local ownership by December 31 or face sanctions. It is consistent with a broader push by Africa's resource-rich nations to try to retain more value from their mineral wealth.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Mineral processing equipment specialist Metso has launched a breakthrough innovation in coarse particle flotation, Sampo Cell, that enhances recovery of coarse particles without compromising fine particle recovery, helping mining companies improve the efficiency, profitability, and sustainability of their operations. 

“Mining companies are under increasing pressure to process more complex ores, improve recovery and reduce their environmental footprint. The Sampo Cell represents a significant leap forward in flotation technology. By expanding the recoverable particle size range and simplifying coarse particle flotation, customers can unlock additional value from existing operations,” says Metso separation senior VP Teemu Kaarniemi. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As conveyor systems become increasingly critical to production performance in mining and bulk materials handling operations, advanced thermal scanning technologies are emerging as a powerful tool in preventing catastrophic conveyor failures and improving plant reliability. Conveyor systems solution supplier Tru-Trac sales head David Pereira points out that, by combining thermal scanning with modern belt scanning technologies, operations are able to detect developing faults far earlier, allowing maintenance teams to move away from reactive repairs towards predictive, data-driven conveyor condition monitoring strategies.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Critical minerals developer Sovereign Metals has renamed its Kasiya project, in Malawi, to the Kasiya Critical Minerals project to reflect that is no longer a rutile and graphite project only, but also holds potential for the recovery of a monazite concentrate with significantly elevated heavy rare earths content as a by-product. The name change follows the publication of the positive results of a scoping study on the potential to recover the monazite concentrate.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The International Standards Organisation (ISO) has verified the important environmental protection benefits of opting for mine tyre life extension solutions rather than purchasing new tyres earlier than necessary. The carbon footprint methodology provides measurable data that mining companies can use when reporting Scope 3 emissions, which are by far the largest share of a mine’s total carbon footprint.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Mining tycoon Robert Friedland said he’s fielding “unconventional interest,” including from US Big Tech, in Ivanhoe Mines’ fast-expanding copper exploration project in the Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighting growing anxieties about future supplies of the key metal. Friedland founded and chairs Toronto-listed Ivanhoe, which on Tuesday announced that a drilling campaign has increased the mineral resource estimate at its Western Forelands venture by 30% to 12-million tons of contained copper. The company already co-owns a nearby operation in the Central African nation which has become one of the world’s largest producers of the metal.]]></description>
