Rio Tinto

Rio Tinto is a global diversified miner. Iron ore is the dominant commodity, with significantly lesser contributions from copper, aluminum, diamonds, gold, and industrial minerals. The 1995 merger of RTZ and CRA, via a dual-listed structure, created the present-day company. The two operate as a single business entity, with shareholders in each company having equivalent economic and voting rights. Major assets included the Pilbara iron ore operations, a 30% stake in the Escondida copper mine, 66%-ownership of the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia, the Weipa and Gove bauxite mines in Australia, and six hydro-powered aluminum smelters in Canada.

Shares of metals stocks are trading lower following US tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.

Oil and gold are the first things that come to mind when investors think about mining and exploration stocks, but the sector is far more diverse and expansive than just two commodities.
Coal, natural gas, construction materials like limestone, industrial metals like copper and aluminum, and even the lithium in our batteries, all come from mining companies.
However, mining operations consume immense amounts of time and capital expenditure, so mining companies tend to perform well during economic booms, and poorly during downturns.
As luck would have it, we have a strong economy, low inflation, and a new, business-friendly administration, all pointing to a very good year for mining stocks.
Here are four stocks that are well-positioned for growth through 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rio Tinto Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rio#NYSE">RIO</a>)</h2>
Rio Tinto Group is a diversified large-cap mining company with a $100 billion market cap and operations in numerous industrial metals and materials. Based in Melbourne, RIO trades on several global stock exchanges, including the FTSE, ASX, and the NYSE.
The company was named after the original mine it purchased from the Spanish government in 1871. Over time, RIO has become the world&#8217;s second-largest public mining company, focusing on iron ore, aluminum, copper/diamonds, and energy minerals (like uranium).
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="299" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165348/RIO-1024x299.png" alt="" class="wp-image-752215" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165348/RIO-1024x299.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165348/RIO-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165348/RIO-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165348/RIO.png 1293w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
RIO shares have a few tailwinds that could benefit investors in 2025. First, the company has been dropping unprofitable coal mining operations to improve efficiency and recently purchased Arcadium Lithium in a $6.7 billion deal to add more properties to its renewable energy portfolio (RIO is now the third largest lithium miner in the world).
Additionally, the company is said to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43040137/rio-tinto-and-glencore-weigh-historic-merger-shaking-up-global-mining?adt_ei=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D&amp;he=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D&amp;el=ResearchDaily">pursuing a merger</a> with Glencore, which would create the largest combined mining company in the world. With demand for copper, aluminum, and lithium expected to increase as more electric infrastructure is built, RIO is set up to be a major beneficiary. The stock is a consensus Buy based on nine analysts covering the stock, and the average price target is $73, representing a 17% upside. Plus, that 7% dividend yield isn't too shabby, either.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Constellium SE (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cstm#NYSE">CSTM</a>)</h2>
Constellium was part of Rio Tinto Group but was spun out in 2011 when the company sold its Alcan Engineered Products unit. Today, Constellium is a major manufacturer of aluminum and various related alloys with plants in North America, Asia, and Europe. Constellium is headquartered in Paris and employs over 12,000 full-time workers.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="298" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165355/CSTM-1024x298.png" alt="" class="wp-image-752216" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165355/CSTM-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165355/CSTM-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165355/CSTM-768x223.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165355/CSTM.png 1300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Compared to its former parent company, Constellium is small. The company has a mere $1.5 billion market cap and posted $1.6 billion in revenue last quarter, but it has a high-profile list of clients in the aerospace and automotive industries, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Boeing, and Airbus.
According to analyst reports, the stock is a consensus Buy with an average price target over $20, which would be nearly double the current market price. The company recently announced it's moving to US-based accounting principles (like filing 10K reports with the SEC), which could hint at potential expansion into new US markets. With defense spending expected to increase over the next decade, companies manufacturing lightweight and innovative aluminum products stand to reap the rewards.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alcoa Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aa#NYSE">AA</a>)</h2>
Alcoa Corp. used to be a staple amongst Jim Cramer's most essential earnings calls and guidance reports. Still, the long-time aluminum producer has seen its market cap shrink from nearly $17 billion to just over $10 billion in the last three years.
Year-over-year revenue growth declined for seven consecutive quarters starting in Q3 2022, and 2023 full-year gross profit was a disappointing $738 million (down from $2.2 billion in 2022). However, the last two quarterly reports have shown that revenue is growing again, and the stock is positioned fundamentally and technically for a turnaround.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="298" src="https://editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/AA -1024x298.png" alt="" class="wp-image-752217" /></figure>
Alcoa primarily produces aluminum and bauxite and operates in 10 countries, including the United States, Australia, Iceland, and several Caribbean nations. At its peak in the bull market in 2022, the stock traded near the $90 range.
Today, it sits around $40 and only has a Hold rating and a $43 price target based on 15 analyst reports. However, revenue growth has returned, and the stock's 200-day moving average could act as a support level for a continuing uptrend.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BHP Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bhp#NYSE">BHP</a>)</h2>
BHP is the world's largest mining company, with a market cap of over $125 billion and operations in materials like iron core, copper, zinc, gold, silver, uranium, and more. The company is based in Australia but has mines worldwide, including domestic operations in Queensland and Western Australia, plus international extraction sites in Canada, Brazil, and Chile.
BHP's copper operations are expected to be a main profit driver over the next few decades as the material is required for EV batteries, data center grids, and other electrification projects. The company expects copper demand to increase by 70% by 2050, and recent output from the Escondida mine in Chile has significantly boosted BHP's production.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="298" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165445/BHP-1024x298.png" alt="" class="wp-image-752219" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165445/BHP-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165445/BHP-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165445/BHP-768x223.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165445/BHP.png 1300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Additionally, the company has found another profit driver: potash! BHP has become one of the largest potash producers, a water-soluble potassium mineral commonly used in fertilizer. Based on coverage from eight different analysts, BHP shares are currently a consensus Buy, with an average price target of $67 (indicating a potential 34% upside from the current market price).
The valuation looks cheap with a 16.1 P/E ratio, and the stock also pays a hefty 5.8% dividend yield. BHP is also a serial M/A participant, and that type of business is expected to pick up under a merger-friendly Trump administration.

Rio Tinto Unusual Options Activity

Tropical Cyclone Sean delivered record rain along parts of the Pilbara coastline of Western Australia, impacting Rio Tinto rail and port operations.
A railcar dumper at the East Intercourse Island (EII) port facility, which shipped 45 million tonnes of total Rio Tinto Iron Ore shipments in 2024, was flooded after the weather event passed the coast, delivering 274mm to Karratha during January 20, 2025.
The company is working to mitigate impacts and will provide an update at its full year results on 19 February 2025.

Guidance

Rio Tinto Provides Iron Ore Update After Tropical Cyclone Sean; Q1 Shipments Will Be Affected, Overall Shipment Guidance For 2025 Remains Unchanged

President Donald Trump&#8216;s revoking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43122855/trumps-plan-to-revoke-7500-ev-tax-credit-is-a-huge-negative-for-tesla-says-gary-black-downplays-impact-on-rivals">the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit</a> hasn&#8217;t discouraged mining companies from continuing to source critical materials needed for EV manufacturing.
Rio Tinto (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>) CEO Jakob Stausholm, for example, remains optimistic about the global demand for lithium. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday, Stausholm noted, &#8220;Lithium demand will probably go up another five times over the next 15 years.&#8221;
Stausholm also praised Trump&#8217;s greenlighting of the Resolution mine in Arizona. Resolution is a massive joint venture project with BHP Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>) that could become the biggest copper mine on the continent, the companies claim. 
&#8220;I do think that we have really good chances now to progress that project," he <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a022764b-59a6-4292-bdee-6379d0200564">told</a> the Financial Times. The $64 billion project has an estimated life span of a 60-years. It&#8217;s expected to produce over 1 billion pounds of copper per year or around 25% of the U.S. needs.
Trump&#8217;s interest in Greenland is also said to go deeper than simply <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/25/01/43133508/trump-wants-to-buy-greenland-for-us-security">projecting power</a> on the global stage. The Denmark-owned island is home to 25 of the 34 critical metals (per the EU&#8217;s classification). Companies like Australia-based Energy Transition Minerals have already mapped over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42884764/how-trump-could-impact-chinas-role-in-emerging-greenland-mining-frontier">one billion tons of mineral resources</a>. This includes heavy rare earth metals like terbium, neodymium, dysprosium, and uranium.
As of January, Greenland <a href="https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2024/10/31/greenland-faces-one-of-historys-great-resource-rushes-and-curses?utm_source=chatgpt.com">has</a> one active mine. In 2023, there were <a href="https://www.energymonitor.ai/sectors/industry/why-the-world-finds-itself-in-a-greenland-mining-rush/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">two</a>.
Another key focus of Trump's critical minerals strategy may be deep-sea mining. The Metals Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMC#NASDAQ">TMC</a>), a prospective deep-sea miner, plans to submit its first application to the International Seabed Authority (ISA) in June. 
The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company seeks approval to extract polymetallic nodules from the ocean floor. These nodules contain cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements crucial for battery and electronics production.
TMC's application, with support from the Republic of Nauru, could face hurdles as ISA&#8217;s new Secretary-General, Leticia Carvalho, has touted sustainability and equity in deep-sea mining governance.
"Our mandate is both a privilege and a responsibility—to act in the interest of all humankind," Carvalho <a href="https://www.isa.org.jm/news/leticia-carvalho-assumes-role-as-secretary-general-of-the-international-seabed-authority/">said</a> after assuming the leadership role earlier this month.
Despite this, TMC remains undeterred. CFO Craig Shesky <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40119611/exclusive-seabed-mining-company-execs-see-industry-developing-regardless-of-un-authority-vote">told</a> Benzinga last summer, &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing to stop [deep-sea mining] at this point. This is now inevitable.&#8221;
With Trump's administration favoring deregulation and resource independence, TMC may find a more conducive environment for advancing its ambitions.

Shares of stocks in the broader metals and mining sector are trading higher in possible sympathy with Rio Tinto and Glencore who announced discussions regarding a potential merger, the largest in mining industry history.

Rio Tinto Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>) and Glencore Plc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLNCY#OTC">GLNCY</a>), two of the largest mining companies in the world, have engaged in preliminary discussions about merging their businesses. 
What To Know: <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-16/rio-tinto-glencore-are-said-to-discuss-potential-combination?srnd=homepage-americas">According to Bloomberg,</a> the talks, which remain in the early stages, have not been confirmed as ongoing. Sources, who requested anonymity due to the confidentiality of the information, noted the uncertainty surrounding whether the discussions will progress further. Representatives from Rio Tinto declined to comment, while Glencore did not immediately respond to statement requests.
Shares of both companies reacted to the news. Rio Tinto&#8217;s stock dropped 2.03% during recent trading, likely reflecting investor caution surrounding the uncertainty of the talks. Meanwhile, Glencore's stock surged 7.76%, potentially driven by market optimism about the potential synergies and scale such a merger could deliver.
This development, if it progresses, could have significant implications for the global mining industry, given the combined operational reach and resource portfolio of the two firms.
Price Action: Rio Tinto shares were down 1.70% at $59.43 and Glencore PLC shares were up 5.32% at $9.53 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Arcadium Lithium Announces Shareholder Approval Of Proposed Rio Tinto Transaction And Provides Regulatory Update

Shares of stocks in the broader metals and mining sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

Australia's main opposition has proposed a $211 billion taxpayer-funded nuclear power plan. If successful, the turn to nuclear power would be a historic event for one of the largest <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities" rel="noreferrer noopener">global commodity producers</a>.
"Nuclear power will underpin the economic success of our country for the next century. This will make electricity reliable. It will make it more consistent. It will make it cheaper for Australians, and it will help us decarbonize," Peter Dutton, leader of the center-right Liberal Party, said <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-13/australia-s-opposition-reveals-211-billion-nuclear-power-plan" rel="noreferrer noopener">per</a> Bloomberg's report.
The country's approach to climate change has been politically charged, contributing to the downfall of former Prime Minister Scott Morrison in 2022. Australia remains one of the largest per-capita polluters globally, and Dutton's proposal directly challenges the ruling Labor Party's renewables-only strategy.
He called Labor's plan costly, citing claims that a balanced energy mix, including nuclear, would save taxpayers and businesses $167 billion. Australia has no operational nuclear power plants, as the industry was banned in 1998 under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.&nbsp;
Despite Australia's position as the world's fourth-largest producer and holder of <a target="_blank" href="https://minerals.org.au/about/mining-facts/mineral-uranium/" rel="noreferrer noopener">one-third of global reserves</a>, uranium mining remains banned in Western Australia and Queensland. These restrictions persist even as the Minerals Council of Australia <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40182376/uranium-explorers-call-for-lifting-mining-ban-in-western-australia-target-1b-in-exports" rel="noreferrer noopener">advocates for lifting bans</a> to help meet global clean energy demand.
Currently, the active uranium mining operations exist at just 3 locations:
<ul>
<li>Olympic Dam – the largest known deposit in the world, owned by BHP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>)</li>
<li>Four Mile &#8211; a high-grade mine owned by Quasar Resources.</li>
<li>Ranger (Northern Territory) &#8211; controlled by Rio Tinto (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>), but at the end of its lifespan.</li>
</ul>
Dutton's plan includes constructing seven nuclear power plants by 2050, with the first operational by 2036. If it goes through, it would be reasonable to expect the removal of mining restrictions, presenting opportunities for domestic and foreign uranium explorers. If Western Australia lifts the mining ban, operators like Toro Energy and Paladin Energy could pursue <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/Uranium-1459.aspx" rel="noreferrer noopener">multiple regional projects</a>.
The largest publicly traded uranium producer, Cameco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>), owns the Yeelirrie project in the region, which it acquired from BHP in 2012.
Volatile energy costs in Australia have been an issue exaggerated by significant regional disparities. In October, The Guardian <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/oct/18/energy-prices-soar-after-volatile-wind-saw-heavier-gas-hydro-and-battery-use-australian-regulator-says" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> a price of $114/MWh in Queensland compared to $201/MWh in South Australia, as high transmission costs can constitute 40% of an energy bill.
A network of strategically placed nuclear power plants would help solve this problem, reducing the cost of commodity production and further strengthening the Australian industry. As the 2025 general elections draw closer, nuclear power and uranium mining will likely become important topics down under.

Australian Opposition Goes Nuclear, $211 Billion Plan Could Open Doors For Uranium Miners

Rincon's capacity of 60,000 tonnes of battery grade lithium carbonate per year is comprised of the 3,000-tonne starter plant and 57,000-tonne expansion plant.

Rio Tinto Plans To Invest $2.5B To Expand Rincon Lithium Project Capacity To 60,000 Tonnes Per Year

Shares of copper companies are trading higher in possible reaction to China signaling looser monetary policy, which could support demand.

Rio Tinto's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>) CEO Jakob Stausholm has dismissed activist shareholder calls to abandon the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/24/12/42312534/rio-tinto-releases-initial-estimates-for-argentinas-rincon-project-activists-call-for-consolidation" rel="noreferrer noopener">company's primary London listing</a>.
Palliser Capital, a global multi-strategy fund that holds around $250 million in Rio Tinto shares, argued that the dual listing has destroyed $50 billion in value and hampered large-scale mergers and acquisitions.
The fund also claimed that unifying the structure under Australian listing rules could unlock $28 billion in near-term shareholder value.
Speaking at an investor seminar in London, Stausholm argued the dual-listed structure provides value to shareholders.
"We've seen no compelling evidence suggesting our current structure is not the best option for Rio Tinto," he stated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-04/rio-tinto-ceo-disputes-palliser-s-call-to-quit-london-listing" rel="noreferrer noopener">per</a> Bloomberg's report. Instead, he presented an elaborate strategy to strengthen the company's diversified portfolio.
The management sees the Oyu Tolgoi mine in Mongolia playing a notable role in this plan. Its production is set to expand by 50% in 2024, contributing to the firm's goal of producing 1 million tons of copper annually by 2030.
Other copper initiatives include the Resolution project in the U.S. and the recent sale of a 30% stake in the Australian Winu project to Sumitomo for $399 million. Such strategic sales should help cover capital expenditures, set at $11 billion for 2025, up from $9.5 billion in 2024.
Rio Tinto's investments in iron ore, lithium, and aluminum are key to supporting the energy transition. Pilbara's iron ore production is expected to remain stable, while lithium operations are expanding, driven by the recent <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/10/41203850/rio-tinto-confirms-interest-in-arcadium-lithium-shares-surge" rel="noreferrer noopener">$6.7 billion bid for </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/10/41203850/rio-tinto-confirms-interest-in-arcadium-lithium-shares-surge" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arcadium Lithium</a>.
Acquiring a firm with significant operations in South America complements Rincon's project in Argentina. This project holds over 11 million tons of lithium carbonate equivalent in resources and reserves, positioning it as a critical asset in the electric vehicle supply chain.
Stausholm reaffirmed Rio Tinto's commitment to decarbonization, targeting a 50% reduction in operational emissions by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050.
The elaborate <a target="_blank" href="https://cdn-rio.dataweavers.io/-/media/content/documents/invest/presentations/2024/2024-decarbonisation-update.pdf?rev=e9a396eef9174a70b8eb840070481dfa" rel="noreferrer noopener">presentation</a> laid out the company's plan to invest $5-6 billion in decarbonization by 2030, focusing on electrification, renewable energy, and breakthrough technologies.
Looking beyond 2030, the company is preparing a pipeline of 60 projects, with around $1 billion in committed research and development costs, including carbon-free smelting (ELYSIS), a metallurgical biocarbon, and a hydrogen calcination pilot plant at Yarwun, which aims to replace natural gas with hydrogen in the aluminum refinery process.

Rio Tinto CEO Defends London Listing, Outlines Future Growth Plans

On Wednesday, Rio Tinto (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>) has unveiled the initial resource and reserve estimates for its Salar del Rincon lithium brine project in Salta, Argentina. With this project underway, Rio Tinto is strengthening its operations in a quickly growing mining market, where it established a foothold with an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/10/41250060/arcadium-lithium-stock-is-soaring-wednesday-whats-behind-the-move" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquisition of </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/10/41250060/arcadium-lithium-stock-is-soaring-wednesday-whats-behind-the-move" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arcadium Lithium</a>.
The firm <a target="_blank" href="https://company-announcements.afr.com/asx/rio/eb77f42e-b1ff-11ef-9968-32bb3df8972d.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> Rincon to contain 1.54 million tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in measured resources, 7.85 million tons of LCE in indicated resources, and an additional 2.29 million tons in inferred resources. The ore reserves include 2.07 million tons of LCE in the probable category.
Located in the "Lithium Triangle," which spans Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile, the Rincon project represents a long-term asset for Rio Tinto.
The operation should produce 53,000 tons of battery-grade lithium annually for 40 years, with a potential expansion of up to 60,000. The Rincon 3000 starter plant is on track for completion by mid-2025.
In contrast to the controversial Jadar project in Serbia, which contains lithium in mineral form, Rincon's lithium is in brine, allowing for the application of advanced technologies like direct lithium extraction (DLE).
Argentina, the world's fourth-largest lithium producer, exported $835 million of lithium in 2023, comprising 20.8% of its total mining exports. Nearly half of this lithium was supplied to China for electric vehicle batteries and other technologies.
President Javier Milei, who took office in December 2023, has aggressively promoted pro-investment policies, offering tax and customs incentives to attract foreign mining firms, like McEwen Mining, investing billions into a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42243885/copper-supply-gap-drives-mcewens-2-5b-fundraising-for-los-azules" rel="noreferrer noopener">cornerstone copper project</a>.
Milei's government aims to capitalize on Argentina's vast mineral reserves, facilitating the rapid development of over 40 preliminary lithium projects.
Earlier this year, Rio Tinto acquired Arcadium Lithium – the operator of the largest Argentinian lithium Fenix project – which produced 22,000 tons, nearly half of the country's 50,000 tons last year.
However, despite management's efforts to further diversify the firm's global operations, its corporate structure has been criticized. Activist investor Palliser Capital has called on the company to consolidate its dual corporate structure by moving its primary listing from London to Australia.
According to their estimates, as reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/activist-investor-palliser-demands-rio-tinto-scrap-london-listing-2024-12-04/" rel="noreferrer noopener">by</a> Reuters, this "outdated" structure has lost $50 billion in shareholder value.
"Rio Tinto's approach to M&amp;A (mergers and acquisitions) is both an obvious statistical anomaly and entirely unsustainable going forward," the activist investor warned.

Rio Tinto Partners With Imperial College London In $150M Initiative To Advance Sustainable Materials For Global Energy Transition

The Mexican Ministry of Finance (SHCP) has proposed raising mining royalties in the 2025 federal budget bill. The proposal suggests increasing two key taxes on mining activities, which is at a risk to the sector and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mexico" rel="noreferrer noopener">the country's economy</a>.
What Happened? The SHCP plans to raise the special tax on mining profits from 7.5% to 8.5% and the extraordinary tax on revenues from the sale of gold, silver, and platinum from 0.5% to 1%. The Ministry justifies the hike by citing rising global metal prices and the nature of those assets.
"Considering that minerals and substances from the subsoil are non-renewable public domain assets, it is proposed to increase the special and extraordinary rights on mining," the SHCP stated in the bill <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bnamericas.com/en/news/mexican-govt-proposes-raising-taxes-on-mining-companies" rel="noreferrer noopener">per</a> bnamericas. The Ministry projects that the additional revenues will be allocated to government programs and projects, though specific details were not disclosed.
In 2021, an International Monetary Fund<a target="_blank" href="https://www.imf.org/-/media/Files/Publications/WP/2021/English/wpiea2021245-print-pdf.ashx" rel="noreferrer noopener"> working paper</a> by Alpha Shah explored Mexico's mining tax regime, concluding it was less burdensome than in many comparable nations. Shah's findings pointed out that there is room to increase the overall tax burden on mining while still maintaining competitiveness. The paper suggested a balanced redesign to boost the government's share of resource rents while ensuring the sector remains an attractive investment destination.
Why It Matters? Mining is important to Mexico's economy, contributing 2.5% to GDP and supporting 400,000 direct jobs. The country is the world's leading silver producer and a major supplier of gold and copper. However, with increasing global competition, Mexico could struggle to attract new investments under a higher tax regime.
The country needs significant investment to bolster its mining sector, which has already seen declining fiscal contributions. These contributions fell 32% in 2023, further underlining the need for a balanced approach to taxation. Furthermore, bnamericas noted that industry experts warned the proposed increases could discourage nearly $7 billion in mining investments by 2025, particularly as companies face other challenges, such as reduced concession terms and stricter water-use permits.
While the proposed taxes aim to capture more value from the mining sector, they may also reduce Mexico's appeal compared to peers like Chile, Peru, and Canada. These countries offer competitive tax regimes and have become increasingly attractive destinations for mining investment.

The clean energy revolution fuels an insatiable demand for copper, a metal critical to EVs, renewable power, and modern infrastructure. With prices on the rise and supply tightening, top copper miners like BHP Group Ltd. (BHP), Rio Tinto (RIO), and Southern Copper Corp. (SCCO) are poised for strong gains. Continue reading… Copper might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy, but it's one of the most crucial materials powering the shift to a cleaner future. From EV batteries and charging networks to solar panels and wind turbines, copper is everywhere, and demand for it is only getting stronger.
With the rising investment in electric vehicles and the government's incentives to lower carbon emissions, strong copper stocks like BHP Group Limited (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/BHP/">BHP</a>), Rio Tinto Group (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/RIO/">RIO</a>), and Southern Copper Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SCCO/">SCCO</a>) could benefit substantially.
Copper prices <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2025/01/09/copper-price-nears-one-month-high-amid-chinas-stimulus-hopes">rose more than 6%</a> in the first six trading days of the year, fueled by China's economic stimulus and increasing investments in clean energy. According to S&amp;P Global, global copper mine production is expected to peak at 23.5 million tons between 2025 and 2026 before declining, raising concerns about long-term supply constraints.
The red metal is widely used in electric vehicles, with each EV requiring nearly <a href="https://www.metal.com/en/newscontent/103123317">four times</a> the amount of copper used in a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle. Beyond vehicles, the electrification of transportation networks, battery storage systems, and charging stations all heavily rely on copper. Meanwhile, the transition to renewable energy sources like solar and wind power further fuels copper demand.
Analysts estimate that copper demand from energy transition sectors will grow at a <a href="https://www.fastmarkets.com/insights/copper-prices-in-2024-and-2025-a-global-overview-and-analysis/">CAGR of 10.7%</a>, with the EV sector alone driving a 14.3% increase, solar power 5.6%, and wind applications 9.3%. Overall, the demand for copper is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% through 2034.
With these strong tailwinds, let's analyze the fundamental aspects of the three <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/industrial-metals/">Industrial – Metals</a> picks, beginning with the third choice.
