            <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>

Reuters previously reported that miners in Congo, the world's top cobalt producer and second-largest copper producer, were seeking to delay enforcement of a 2018 law requiring companies to transfer 10% of their equity to Congolese nationals, including 5% for employees. No miner has yet complied, citing unresolved questions over implementation.]]></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>

Outperforming copper, aluminium, lead and nickel, zinc last month climbed to its highest in almost four years at $3 658 per metric ton.]]></description>

Sherritt's financial and operational woes started earlier this year when US sanctions against Cuba came into effect, which impacted Sherritt's joint venture cobalt and nickel operations in the country, as well as its downstream refinery in Alberta. ]]></description>
