            <description><![CDATA[Sweden's government declared mining of critical metals and rare earth minerals a national security interest on Thursday, saying a new mining strategy was needed to counter the dependence on China.

China dominates both mining and refining of rare earth minerals essential for clean energy generation, defence and electric vehicle production, and export controls have served Beijing as a powerful lever in its trade war with Washington and other disputes.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The Trump administration on Friday imposed new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, including the European Union and China, over allegations of lax enforcement of forced labor bans, just as a temporary 10% global tariff expired.

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>

            <description><![CDATA[Global diamond miner De Beers has reported an 88% year-on-year increase in rough diamond production to 7.8-million carats for the second quarter of this year, taking the company's output for the first half of this year to 14.91-million carats – a 46% year-on-year increase. The company says the higher second-quarter production reflected the impact of the extended maintenance shutdown at its Orapa mine, in Botswana, in the second quarter of 2025, as well as the planned mining of higher-grade ore at both Jwaneng, in Botswana, and Gahcho Kué, in Canada.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Anglo American reported broadly flat first-half copper production on Thursday and lowered its 2026 copper cost guidance, but said its diamonds and steelmaking coal businesses are expected to post negative underlying earnings in the first half.

The London-listed miner maintained its full-year copper production guidance of 700 000 to 760 000 tons. It produced 343 600 tons of copper in the first half, up from 342 200 tons a year earlier.]]></description>

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>

Operating profit excluding the revaluation of process inventory more than doubled to 2.87-billion Swedish crowns ($296.8-million) in the second quarter, but fell short of the 3.26-billion crowns expected by analysts in a company-provided consensus. It was also down from 4.43-billion crowns in the first quarter.]]></description>

Aura points out that this is the second piece of legislation intended to facilitate the development of uranium mines in Sweden and follows the removal of the ban on uranium exploration and mining, which took effect in January this year.]]></description>
