Mining Dispatch reporting on commodities, explorers & developers and deals & finance.
Deals & finance
Board approval is a step toward the money, with the conditions still open. Several of them need government sign-off rather than company action, so the timing sits partly outside Global Atomic's hands. Watch the loan terms, still unset, and a production date that has slipped from early 2026 to the second half of 2028.
Deals & finance
A Statement of Objections is the Commission's preliminary view, so nothing is settled until it rules. The concern is where the ferronickel would be sold, and the next fixed date is the 30 November 2026 decision deadline.
Commodities
This is a cost revision rather than a supply revision: the volume ranges hold while the cost range moves up. Both the raised range and the plant timetable are the company's own expectations, not settled outcomes, and the permit decision rests with the state.
Explorers & developers
The construction decision comes before two parts of its financing are final: the share sale awaits exchange acceptance and the prepayment terms are non-binding. Osisko's own plan shows a surplus only if those close, so watch the closing, a definitive prepayment agreement and whether the longer schedule holds.
Deals & finance
The deal terms are clean: no cash, no new debt, just a straight share swap, which keeps Artemis Gold's balance sheet untouched while it still needs three separate approvals before Mt Todd becomes part of the company. That makes this an agreement, not yet a done deal.
Deals & finance Analysis
Teck says Anglo American merger completion will follow the last conditions by 11 trading days, and Anglo's US$4.5 billion special dividend now has 45 days to be paid after the effective date.
Deals & finance
Eligibility here is drawn by capital cost allowance class, not by industry, so the mining reference in the Prime Minister's list reads as an illustration rather than a sector measure. What settles it for a mine is the draft legislation and which classes its buildings and equipment land in.
