Goldman Sachs forecasts up to 12 month copper prices
Goldman Sachs on Wednesday maintained its London Metal Exchange copper price forecasts for the next year, and said it expected the implementation of U.S. tariffs on copper imports to prevent a U.S. stock glut in the third quarter.
Goldman forecasts three-, six-, and twelve-month LME copper prices at $9,600, $10,000 and $10,700 per metric ton respectively. The bank flagged a near-term downside risk to prices from a trade policy update due to take effect on April 2.

Arizona “Copper State”, growing demand for ore raises fears to locals
First, I had no idea that Arizona has a couple of nicknames one of them being “Copper State”. Pretty interesting fact.
I wanted to share this article because there are mining companies here in the United States that are not talked about enough or just don’t get attention. Being interested in precious metals myself, I’d like to know what’s going on with this particular interest and certain information whether it pertains to me or not, but I felt this was interesting because the locals of this area in Arizona are having to deal with certain changes.
I would like to include more of these types of articles in the future if anyone is interested but all things precious metals deserve to be know, I feel.

One of North America’s largest known undeveloped copper deposits, with visions of multiple open pits and a tailings dump stretching down from the mountains toward the narrow Sycamore Canyon’s far rim.
“You come here for some peace and quiet,” Corona de Tucson resident Kevin Kennedy said, “and a mine is anything but.” reported Brandon Loomis
The neighbors and regional environmental groups all make the case that the Sky Islands in general and the Santa Ritas in particular are no place for a massive new mine with multiple open pits. The mountains are home to rare birds and occasionally rarer mammals, like the jaguar, and are considered one of the nation’s most biologically diverse mixing zones of tropical, desert and Rocky Mountain species.
“There are places that are so precious that they shouldn’t be mined,” said Rob Peters, who directs the local advocacy group Save the Scenic Santa Ritas.

I will soon do an article on copper and it’s investing benefits, pros and cons in the near future but please let me know if this is something you would like to see or if you like the news style.

B2Gold moving forward with investment of $10m at the Fekola gold complex in Mali
The decision follows a settlement with the Malian Government over its 2023 mining code, which has reduced the risk of disruption.
B2Gold CEO Clive Johnson said: “From a B2Gold perspective, we have seen a reduction in risk since the signing of our settlement agreement.”
“We have expatriate employees that move in and out of the country regularly, including some of the mine management, so there is no reason to think that any detention would ever be contemplated as it relates to B2Gold,” Johnson added.
