The research, development, and application of novel, highly efficient, and low-toxicity mineral processing reagents serve as the core technological foundation for realizing green mineral processing and enhancing the overall competitiveness of the mining sector. The Challenges of Traditional Reagents and the Need for Green Transformation Over the past few decades, classic mineral processing reagents—such as xanthates, dithiophosphates, and amines—have played a pivotal role in industrial production. However, as ore characteristics become increasingly complex and national environmental regulations grow stricter, the limitations of these traditional reagents have become increasingly apparent: many traditional reagents possess a certain degree of toxicity; during use, they can contaminate tailings water, thereby posing a threat to both the ecological environment and human health. Even commonly used xanthates exhibit relatively poor biodegradability, and their residues can adversely affect aquatic life. To address these challenges, Y&X—drawing upon forty years of extensive experience in the mineral processing industry—has developed a series of flotation reagents specifically designed to tackle the difficulties associated with floating complex ores. These reagents are characterized by their "high efficiency, low toxicity, biodegradability, and strong selectivity." YX09510C Used as a collector for copper sulfide minerals, this reagent exhibits extremely strong collecting power. Under low-alkalinity conditions, it demonstrates weak collecting power toward pyrite and pyrrhotite. It also possesses strong separation capabilities for complex copper-zinc ores, significantly improving the recovery rates of precious and rare metals—such as gold and silver—associated with copper sulfide minerals. YX3418A-5 Characterized by strong frothing properties and powerful collecting capabilities. It exhibits strong collecting power toward copper sulfides and precious metals (such as gold and silver), as well as pyrite, while demonstrating weak collecting power toward lead sulfide minerals. Suitable for use under both acidic and alkaline conditions, it can be utilized independently or in combination with xanthates. When applied to iron ore desulfurization, it adapts well to acidic environments and effectively removes pyrrhotite and pyrite; when applied to copper sulfide ores, copper-gold sulfide ores, and gold ores, it enables higher recovery rates for copper and gold. It is not suitable for high-sulfur copper ores. YH240 An effective collector for copper and gold ores. It enables the flotation recovery of oxidized and acid-soluble copper minerals that are otherwise difficult to process. It also exhibits high selectivity toward pyrite and flotation-active gangue minerals, thereby allowing for increased collector dosages—facilitating the extraction of difficult-to-float copper and gold minerals without compromising concentrate quality. It is most frequently used in combination with primary collectors, such as xanthates. The adoption of novel, highly efficient, and low-toxicity mineral processing reagents not only enhances beneficiation efficiency but also significantly mitigates environmental risks, yielding substantial economic and social benefits.
Stardust Power joins Department of Energy-backed lithium extraction program
Stardust Power Inc. (NASDAQ: SDST) announced it has been selected as an industrial partner in a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-funded research program to develop next-generation electrochemical technology for the extraction of lithium from domestic waste streams.  The DOE-supported program, led by Dr. John Staser and Ohio University’s Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Environment in partnership with CONSOL Innovations, is focused on extracting lithium from domestic waste streams, including wastewater from oil and gas operations and drainage from legacy coal mines.   The project, titled “Coal- and Waste Coal-based Electrodes for Direct Lithium Extraction from Domestic Waste Streams,” was selected for award negotiations under Announcement DE-FOA-0003105 Critical Material Innovation, Efficiency and Alternatives.   As part of the initiative, Stardust Power will serve as the end-use industrial partner, evaluating lithium samples produced by the research team against battery-grade specifications and supporting downstream commercialization pathways for potential refining applications.  The collaboration advances Stardust Power’s strategy of developing diversified domestic lithium sources and reflects the growing strategic importance of alternative feedstocks to American energy security and industrial competitiveness.   These waste streams could also represent a valuable future source of feedstock for the company’s refinery operations.   Participation as a DOE-approved industrial partner alongside leading research institutions further positions the company to support future strategic collaborations and initiatives aimed at strengthening America’s domestic critical minerals infrastructure, it said.   “This initiative aligns closely with our long-term strategy of supporting the development of a resilient domestic lithium supply chain,” CEO Roshan Pujari said in a news release.   “Our lithium refinery is at the center of the domestic lithium supply chain,” he said.  “As the United States works to strengthen critical mineral independence and reduce reliance on foreign processing, alternative domestic lithium sources are becoming increasingly important.”  Source:https://www.mining.com/stardust-power-joins-department-of-energy-backed-lithium-extraction-program/
Copper and aluminum power higher on global demand, war outlook
Copper topped $14,000 a ton and aluminum advanced to its highest in more than four years as optimism over demand and supply constraints outweighed concerns over the unresolved conflict in the Middle East. Base metals have made a strong start to June, fueled by bets on tighter global supply. Aluminum availability is under pressure as the US struggles to resolve its war with Iran, while copper traders are bracing for a crunch tariff decision by the Trump administration. Prices are also benefiting from bets on assets linked to artificial intelligence and the energy transition. Tin, used in soldering for electronics, jumped 2.3% to trade near a record high. “Metals prices are generally in an upswing, driven by supply disruptions for some commodities due to the Middle East conflict and strong structural demand,” HSBC Holdings Plc analysts wrote in a note. Commodities were facing a “super-squeeze” with the Strait of Hormuz still blocked, they wrote. The gains come after a flurry of bullish calls by some analysts. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. raised its end-of-year copper forecasts by more than 10% in a note earlier this week, while Citigroup Inc. last month said aluminum was facing its most bullish supply-demand conditions in at least half a century. In a sign of tighter markets, cash aluminum contracts at one point Tuesday were as much as $116.50 a ton more expensive than three-month futures, the biggest premium since 2007. The price spread closed at $98.09. Investors are still monitoring the latest developments in the Middle East. US President Donald Trump is still optimistic the US can reach an interim peace deal with Iran soon, after the Islamic Republic threatened to suspend talks because of Israel’s escalating attacks in Lebanon. The ongoing war adds to questions over the future of aluminum supply from the region, which accounted for about a 10th of global output before the conflict began. Some copper output is also at risk of slowing if flows of sulphuric acid from the Middle East continue to be squeezed. Aluminum rose 1% to settle at $3,752.50 a ton on the London Metal Exchange, marking an advance of more than 25% this year. Copper on the LME rose 1.5% to close at $14,040.50 a ton. New York’s Comex copper futures advanced 1.9% to settle at $6.6765 a pound. Source:https://www.mining.com/web/copper-and-aluminum-power-higher-on-global-demand-war-outlook/

Environment minister Juan Carlos Navarro said the third-party report on Cobre Panama mine would be released publicly “with full transparency” once finalized, according to local newspaper La Estrella de Panamá. The audit entered its final stage of technical analysis and verification last week after six preliminary reports were issued. Commerce and industries minister Julio Moltó said President José Raúl Mulino would decide the mine’s future once the government reviews the findings. “The report will be extensive and will require thorough analysis,” Navarro said. “This report will be public so that everyone can study it.” The audit could shape the future of one of the world’s largest copper mines after Panama’s Supreme Court ruled First Quantum’s concession unconstitutional in late 2023, triggering an indefinite shutdown. The Mulino administration has since signalled openness to restarting mining activity because of the sector’s economic importance, while environmental groups and some civil society organizations continue to oppose any reopening. Protests come back Dozens of demonstrators marched in Panama City last Friday against a potential restart of mining operations, according to Prensa Latina. The protests were organized by Sal de las Redes and Movimiento Independiente Voluntad. Participants criticized the government’s handling of the issue and rejected any attempt to reopen the mine. They urged Mulino to respond to public opposition. The demonstrations revive tensions seen during the mass protests of October and November 2023, when nationwide unrest culminated in the closure of Cobre Panama. Before the shutdown, the mine ranked among the world’s largest copper operations, producing 350,000 tonnes in 2022 and contributing about 5% of Panama’s gross domestic product. First Quantum has said the suspension of its Cobre Panamá copper mine has cost Panama an estimated $3.5 billion in lost economic contribution over the past two years, underscoring the mounting financial toll of the operation’s prolonged shutdown. Moltó said the government had already approved a safe management plan to preserve the site environmentally and remove hazardous materials in coordination with the environment ministry. Meanwhile, an unverified social media post claiming to cite a preliminary audit report has circulated online, alleging irreversible environmental damage and disproportionate economic benefits for the mining company. The government has rejected speculation surrounding unofficial findings and maintains that only the final report will determine the project’s environmental compliance and future.

How the sulphuric acid crunch is driving up critical minerals costs
.gtr-container-7f8g9h { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, "Times New Roman", Arial, sans-serif; color: #333; line-height: 1.6; padding: 15px; max-width: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; } .gtr-container-7f8g9h p { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 14px; text-align: left !important; word-break: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; } .gtr-container-7f8g9h .gtr-7f8g9h-heading { font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: #0000FF; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.8em; text-align: left; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .gtr-container-7f8g9h { padding: 25px; max-width: 960px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .gtr-container-7f8g9h p { margin-bottom: 1.2em; } .gtr-container-7f8g9h .gtr-7f8g9h-heading { margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 1em; } } Conflict in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have sent sulphuric acid prices soaring, sharply increasing production costs for lithium, nickel and other critical minerals essential to the energy transition. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence said sulphur prices have climbed more than 50% since the start of the Iran war, while sulphuric acid prices have more than doubled in some regions, disrupting supply chains for battery metals and forcing some refiners to curb production amid shortages of physical sulphur supply. “Sulphuric acid is a vital feedstock for many critical minerals, and the disruption to the sulphur market from the ongoing Middle East conflict has had knock-on effects across key markets,” Benchmark raw materials research manager Will Talbot said. “The outstanding risk is that more critical minerals players cut production or even shut down operations entirely.” Lithium squeeze The supply shock is reshaping the economics of battery materials production. Benchmark said sulphuric acid previously represented about 3% of the cost of producing lithium chemicals from hard rock sources but now accounts for 11%, overtaking energy as the largest individual C1 cost component. The consultancy’s special report said sulphuric acid now contributes 22% of total hard-rock lithium conversion costs and has become “the single most volatile and material input” in lithium processing. Nickel production via high-pressure acid leaching has also become heavily exposed to sulphur markets. Benchmark said sulphur now represents 42% of HPAL nickel costs, up from 26% before the conflict. Indonesia, the world’s largest nickel producer, sourced 76% of its sulphur imports from the Middle East last year, while more than 10 tonnes of sulphur are required to produce one tonne of nickel through HPAL processing. Supply risks The report warned that physical availability, not just pricing, has become the industry’s biggest risk because at least half of global seaborne sulphur trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz. More than half of global lithium, cobalt, rare earth and purified phosphoric acid production expected in 2026 is exposed to sulphur and sulphuric acid disruptions, according to Benchmark. High-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate, used in EV batteries, is entirely dependent on sulphuric acid supply. China’s unofficial restriction on sulphuric acid exports has compounded the pressure on refiners outside the country. Benchmark said spot acid prices in Indonesia and Chile have climbed above $380 and $440 per tonne respectively as converters scramble for alternative supplies. Battery-grade lithium carbonate prices in China have already risen about 65% this year in US dollar terms. Wider fallout Copper producers are feeling the impact unevenly. While solvent extraction and electrowinning operations that account for 22% of global mined copper output require large volumes of acid, copper smelters are benefiting because sulphuric acid is a profitable byproduct of the smelting process. Benchmark said treatment and refining charges for copper concentrate have dropped sharply since strikes on Iran as rising acid prices improve smelter economics. The supply squeeze highlights how geopolitical conflict is increasingly colliding with energy transition supply chains. Benchmark said countries with domestic sulphur and acid production capacity, such as the US, are likely to be more insulated than import-reliant jurisdictions including Australia. Even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens quickly, the firm warned damaged Gulf refining infrastructure could take significant time and investment to restore, prolonging pressure across global critical minerals markets.
