The Canadian mining company on Wednesday set a 2025 production target of between 520,000 and 580,000 metric tons of copper at its Kamoa-Kakula operation. 

Ivanhoe expects to produce between 180,000 and 240,000 tons of zinc at its Kipushi zinc-copper-germanium-silver mine.

Ivanhoe said that during the last day of the year, a record 750 tons of zinc were produced over a 24-hour period, exceeding the operation’s nameplate capacity.

    The Missouri legislature has passed a bill that would allow the state government to accept gold and silver as payment for taxes and other transactions

    The legislation, led by Republicans, would require state government entities to accept electronic versions of gold and silver, called “electronic specie currency,” as payment for taxes and public debts. The bill doesn’t require businesses to accept gold and silver as payment for private uses, but it would allow them to do so.

    “The goal is about restoring economic and political freedom back to everyday Missourians,” state Rep. Bill Hardwick (R) said.

While bullion has historically served as a safe-haven asset, the latest rally is not merely a reaction to market turbulence, but instead to a confluence of economic and financial factors that reinforce its role in global portfolios.
