The move is the White House's latest effort to restore President Donald Trump's campaign vision of a near-global tariff after the US Supreme Court in February struck down his "reciprocal" duties of 10% to 50% imposed last year under a national emergencies law to try to shrink the US trade deficit.]]></description>

The plant has been materially outperforming the metallurgical recoveries adopted in the prefeasibility study (PFS) of the Colossus project, in Brazil, for which the demonstration plant is an important de-risking tool, Viridis confirms.

In its 'Global Mining and Metals Water Dataset' report, published on July 22, the ICMM states that competition for finite water resources is not a future concern, but a present operational reality and a structural constraint on the expansion of the mining and metals sector, as well as the pace of the energy transition itself.]]></description>
