Hidden Valley copper mine life extended to mid-2040s

Teck Resources (NYSE:TECK) said late Tuesday it received an environmental assessment certificate from the British Columbia provincial government to extend the life of the Highland Valley copper mine into the mid-2040s.

“This positive decision by the Government of B.C. will support extending the life of Canada’s largest copper mine, strengthening the North America critical minerals supply chain and contributing to jobs and economic activity,” Teck (TECK) President and CEO Jonathan Price said.

    Silver prices rise, how high will it go?

    “Silver is showing signs of relatively higher momentum with the price trying to breach the crucial US$ 33 level,” Emkay said

    Given silver’s diverse industrial applications, its price is projected to rise from its current level, reaching $36.60, $38.70, and $39.30 on COMEX, it said.

    “Investing in silver funds with a 12 to 18 months’ time horizon is likely to be a worthy proposition.”

    The gold-silver ratio is currently around 90, which suggests that silver is currently undervalued.

    Gold rises with new record

    “We could envision a situation where inflation migrates higher, while the economy slows down as the auto sector grinds to a sudden halt, for example,” said Bart Melek, global head of commodity strategy at TD Securities.  “Higher inflation and low rates, and the associated angst with the president’s imposition of tariffs, so uncertainty and risk are helping gold.” 

    “These tariffs create a strong tailwind for gold,” Bank of Montreal analysts wrote in a note. “Not only because of their inherent inflationary effects but also as the USA’s increasingly hawkish foreign policy may accelerate de-dollarisation plans.”

    Gold steady, tariff announcement

    Spot gold was at $3,026.85 an ounce at 1131 GMT. U.S. gold futures edged 0.4% higher to $3,032.40.

    “A modestly weaker dollar is probably giving gold a little bit of a tailwind at present,” said Ross Norman, an independent analyst.

    “A worse-than-feared tariff announcement on April 2 could give bullion bulls a shot in the arm towards striving for the $3,100 mark,” said Han Tan, Exinity Group’s chief market analyst.

    “Should risk-on sentiment make a comeback, assuming the U.S. tariff threats prove to be more bark than bite, that could see fleeting forays below $3,000,”

    Spot silver firmed 0.4% to $33.16 an ounce, platinum steadied at $975.55, and palladium was flat at $957.95

    Gold lost .2%, Silver up, Platinum fell

    Gold eased on Monday due to slightly firmer U.S. Treasury yields and profit-taking following last week’s sharp rally driven by weak U.S. jobs data.

    Spot gold lost 0.2% to $3,356.91 per ounce, as of 1051 GMT, after rising more than 2% on Friday.

    “The market will remain range bound with today’s pullback being in line with some the reversals seen across markets following Friday’s big moves, especially yields which are a tad firmer and stocks which have seen a rebound,” Saxo Bank’s head of commodity strategy, Ole Hansen, said.

    Spot silver rose 0.3% to $37.14 per ounce, platinum fell 0.3% to $1,311.38 and palladium was down 0.8% at $1,199.08.
