Vale Base Metals and Glencore sign an agreement to jointly develop a brownfield copper project in Sudbury, Ontario, targeting 880,000 tonnes of copper over 21 years at up to $2 billion in capital. Ghana weighs transferring control of Gold Fields' Tarkwa mine to local companies when leases expire April 2027, deepening a resource nationalism push that has already raised royalties to 12%. And Pilbara Minerals approves $175 million in pre-FID capital for the P2000 lithium expansion at Pilgangoora, targeting a final investment decision by December.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/tM0qY1Awzyjj0ffY02GbzMv5DPGZS2aj9E0TbEsufrM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mZjE0/MDA1NDMwYTk2MGRk/YWI2YWEwNTUyZmU2/NjE2MS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
