Glencore Initiates Cobalt Exports Under Congo's New Quota System

Glencore Initiates Cobalt Exports Under Congo's New Quota System

Glencore has commenced cobalt exports under the Democratic Republic of Congo's new quota system, marking the first shipment since the system's implementation. The initial shipment was cleared after a 10% royalty payment, following a months-long export ban that had increased cobalt prices. The DRC, which produces over 70% of the world's cobalt, introduced the quota system to regulate exports, with annual caps set to begin in 2026. Glencore and China's CMOC received the largest allocations, with the first full-sized shipment expected by April.

Air Transat and Pilot Union Reach Tentative Agreement to Avert Strike

Air Transat and Pilot Union Reach Tentative Agreement to Avert Strike

Canadian airline Air Transat and the union representing its pilots have reached a tentative agreement, potentially averting a strike that threatened to disrupt flights. The agreement comes after 11 months of negotiations between Air Transat and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), which represents over 750 pilots. The union had previously voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike, with 99% of its members supporting the action. This prompted Air Transat to prepare for a reduction in flights starting Wednesday. The tentative agreement, which is set to be voted on by union members in the coming days, aims to address issues such as job security, compensation, and schedule flexibility, which the union claimed were lagging behind industry standards. Air Transat has expressed its commitment to restoring normal operations and apologized to customers for any disruptions caused during the negotiation period.

Australian Miners Invest in Brazil's Critical Minerals Amid Global Demand

Australian Miners Invest in Brazil's Critical Minerals Amid Global Demand

Australian mining companies are increasingly investing in Brazil's critical minerals sector, driven by the global demand for resources essential to clean energy and digital technologies. Brazil, which holds significant reserves of niobium, graphite, nickel, and rare earth elements (REEs), is becoming a key player in the global supply chain. The country is the world's second-largest holder of REE reserves, following China. Australian firms are developing projects to tap into these resources, with initiatives like the Serra Verde's Pela Ema project in Goiás state, which aims to supply a significant portion of global demand by 2027. Brazil's favorable business environment, including its renewable energy resources and skilled labor force, further attracts foreign investment.
