LONDON (Reuters) -Global miner Anglo American is selling off its remaining stake in Valterra Platinum, worth around $2.4 billion, it said on Wednesday, marking its full exit from its former subsidiary.

The company has launched an accelerated bookbuild offering to sell about 52.2 million shares in the company, it said.

The demerger of Valterra, formerly known as Anglo American Platinum, became effective in May, leaving just 19.9% of it in Anglo's portfolio.

London-listed Anglo has been selling or spinning off non-core assets since bigger rival BHP's failed takeover attempt last year, to focus on copper and iron ore.

The restructuring process has however been set back by the aborted sale of its steelmaking coal assets in August, for which Anglo is confident that an alternative buyer will be found through a new sales process.

Anglo on Wednesday said the placing will "raise further cash proceeds".

(Reuters) -Canadian miner Teck Resources announced on Wednesday that it has undertaken a company-wide operations review and would defer approving major growth projects until its Quebrada Blanca (QB) copper mine in Chile achieves steady operations and target output.

The company also said in a statement that it has appointed Daniel Malchuk, former senior operations executive at BHP as a special advisor to CEO Jonathan Price to assist with QB's tailings management and drive operational performance.

The company's shares rose 3.7% on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Teck said that it began the review process in August to improve performance across the company and is expected to conclude by October, with an updated forecast by its third-quarter results. In a separate email, Teck told Reuters that the company will continue with the Highland Valley Mine extension project in Canada, and the construction is proceeding as announced.

QB is Teck's flagship mine, but a tailings issue that relates to the disposal of mine waste has dragged down the company's shares after it missed production guidance.

RBC Capital Markets said in an analyst note that the tailings issue could linger into 2026 and drag down production.

"We expect a negative reaction to Teck's operations review and management changes, as while these changes could ultimately lead to better operational performance, they create uncertainty until the October guidance update", RBC Capital Markets analysts wrote.

The QB mine, located in Chile's northern Tarapaca Region, is 60% indirectly owned by Teck.

The review from Teck comes just a year after the company closed the sale of its steel-making coal business to Swiss miner Glencore, after the company rejected the offer to sell its entire operations.

Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 3, 2025) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the last $1.1 million of the convertible debentures that were issued by the Company in May of 2020 (the "Convertible Debentures" of "Debentures") have been automatically converted into equity as a result of the triggering of a conversion clause in the Debenture agreement related to the Company's share price over the past twenty trading days (the "Automatic Conversion"). As a result of the Automatic Conversion, the Company today issued 1,222,219 units ("Units") and none of the Debentures remain outstanding.

A total of 2,800 Convertible Debentures were originally issued in May of 2020 at a price of $1,000 per Debenture and they bore interest at 7.5% per annum. The terms of the Debentures were amended in 2024 (see the Company's press release dated January 11, 2024). After the amendment, the Debentures had a maturity date of January 31, 2026. The amended conversion price was $0.90 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of 1 common share of the Company (a "Common Share") plus ½ Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each full Warrant is exercisable by the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $1.30 per share for a period ending on the maturity date of the Debentures, being January 31, 2026.

Pursuant to the terms of the Debenture agreement, the outstanding principal amount of each Convertible Debenture is to be automatically converted into Units at the conversion price ($0.90) if the Common Shares traded at a closing price of $2.20 or more on the TSX Venture Exchange for 20 consecutive trading days. On September 2, 2025, the Company's Common Shares traded at a closing price above $2.20 for the 20th consecutive trading day. As a result, the Debentures automatically converted into Units of the Company as outlined above.

Since May of 2020, and prior to the triggering of the Automatic Conversion, a total of 1,700 Debentures had already been converted to Units of the Company at the election of the holders or repaid. As a result of the Automatic Conversion, the remaining 1,100 Debentures have now been converted, resulting in the issuance of 1,222,219 Common Shares and 611,108 Warrants, with the above-noted terms.

Certain of the Convertible Debentures which were automatically converted were owned by a related party of the Company. Specifically, Pat Ryan (Ucore's Chairman and CEO) held 10 of the Convertible Debentures (representing a principal amount of $10,000). The above-described transaction with Mr. Ryan is considered to be a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-01 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 since neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. No new insiders and no control persons were created in connection with the closing of the transactions.

As the Canadian economy navigates a period of contraction, with GDP shrinking by 1.6% in the second quarter, market participants are closely watching for potential easing from the Bank of Canada. In this context, penny stocks—though often seen as relics from past market eras—remain relevant due to their affordability and growth potential, especially when backed by strong financials. For investors seeking opportunities in smaller or newer companies, these stocks can offer a unique combination of value and growth that larger firms may not always provide.

Gold hit a fresh all-time high as investors flocked to safe-haven assets, with spot prices crossing $3,500 an ounce. According to CNBC, spot gold price reached $3,508.50/ounce early today, topping the previous peak reached in April. The earlier rally was fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff plans, though prices later cooled somewhat when he softened some of his proposals.

Having said that, gold has been one of the standout commodities this year, with prices up more than 30% so far in 2025. The precious metal has notched gains for six straight sessions now. Increasing rate cut expectations, a weaker U.S. dollar, tensions surrounding the Federal Reserve’s independence and geopolitical risks are strengthening the case for the yellow metal as a reliable hedge amid uncertainty.

Investors can capitalize on the bullish momentum of gold by investing in stocks like Agnico Eagle Mines Limited AEM, Idaho Strategic Resources Inc. IDR, Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited HMY and Gold Fields Limited GFI.

Catalysts Powering Gold Higher

Expectations of Fed Rate Cuts: The biggest driver has been the market’s conviction that the Federal Reserve will trim interest rates soon. Traders are assigning a 90% probability to a 25-basis-point cut at the Sept. 17 meeting, per CME’s FedWatch tool. Lower rates reduce the attractiveness of yield-bearing assets, making non-yielding gold more attractive. Soft economic data and elevated global risks only add to the likelihood of a looser policy stance. All eyes are now on Friday’s U.S. jobs report, which could shape expectations for the Fed’s next rate move.

A Weaker Dollar: Gold prices typically move in the opposite direction of the U.S. dollar, and 2025 has been no exception. U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen roughly 10%, according to TradingView, giving international buyers more incentive to scoop up gold. As gold is priced in dollars, a weaker currency makes the metal cheaper for buyers overseas, pushing up global demand and prices.

Concerns Over Fed Independence: Investor nerves have been rattled by escalating political pressure on the Fed. Trump’s criticism of the central bank and its leadership has raised fresh doubts about its independence. Markets fear that political interference in monetary policy could weaken the dollar and destabilize financial markets, which, in turn, strengthens gold’s safe-haven appeal.

Lingering Geopolitical and Economic Uncertainty: Finally, trade tensions, tariffs and fragile growth remain in the backdrop. Even when gold briefly cooled after April’s spike, these risks never fully disappeared. Investors are finding it safer to adopt longer-term strategies that prioritize stability, and gold remains a top choice for that.

4 Stocks to Ride Gold’s Rally

Agnico Eagle: Based in Toronto, AEM is one of the world’s leading gold producers, with operations across Canada, Mexico, and Finland. The company has built a reputation for quality growth, strengthened further after its merger with Kirkland Lake Gold, which created a top-tier senior producer with an impressive project pipeline. Key developments like the Odyssey project at the Canadian Malartic Complex, Detour Lake and Hope Bay are expected to support strong production and cash flow for years ahead. Hope Bay alone holds 3.4 million ounces of reserves, making it a valuable long-term asset.

Financially, Agnico Eagle is in good shape. In the second quarter of 2025, operating cash flow nearly doubled year over year to $1.8 billion, while free cash flow rose to $1.3 billion. The company ended the quarter with $963 million in net cash, highlighting its balance sheet strength. With a five-year annualized dividend growth rate and a payout ratio of 27%, AEM offers investors both stability and reliable income.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AEM’s 2025 EPS estimates implies a 64% year-over-year growth. Over the past 30 days, the estimates have risen 26 cents per share. The stock sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Idaho Strategic: Headquartered inCoeur d'Alene, Idaho Strategic is a unique player in the gold sector, combining active gold production with one of the largest rare earth element (REE) land packages in the United States. Its flagship Golden Chest Mine, located in the Murray Gold Belt, is already in production and supported by additional assets like the New Jersey Mill and Eastern Star exploration property. By consolidating historic gold mines in the belt, the company now controls more than 7,000 acres of claims, giving it a strong foothold in a proven gold district.

IDR is ramping up its largest exploration program yet at Golden Chest, while also advancing REE projects across its 19,090-acre land position. These include drilling, trenching and sampling to uncover long-term value in rare earths and thorium. With improving cash flows and a low debt profile, Idaho Strategic is well-positioned to fund both its gold operations and its ambitious exploration plans, offering investors exposure to two critical resources.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for IDR’s 2025 EPS suggests 13.4% year-over-year growth. Over the past 30 days, estimates have risen by 15 cents per share. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Harmony Gold: It is South Africa’s largest gold producer by volume. HMY is steadily building a stronger global presence with projects spanning South Africa, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. The company’s crown jewel is the Wafi-Golpu copper-gold project in PNG, which holds an estimated 13 million ounces of gold reserves and is expected to be a long-term growth driver. Adding to this, the Eva Copper project in Australia offers a lower-risk pathway to expand its copper-gold footprint, positioning Harmony as a diversified resource producer with exposure to both gold and copper markets.

Financially, the company is on solid footing. As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $738 million, up 186% year over year. Free cash flow in fiscal 2025 jumped 58% to $614 million, giving Harmony Gold ample flexibility to fund its ambitious growth projects. With a five-year annualized dividend growth rate of nearly 20%, the company combines strong development potential with attractive shareholder returns.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for HMY’s fiscal 2026 EPS implies 128% year-over-year growth. Over the past seven days, the consensus estimate has risen 4 cents per share. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #2.

Gold Fields: It is one of the world’s largest unhedged gold producers, with operations across South Africa, Ghana, Australia, Peru and Chile. The company has been expanding aggressively through acquisitions and new projects to strengthen its long-term production profile. Its 2024 purchase of Osisko Mining gave it full ownership of the Windfall project in Quebec, which is expected to start producing gold by 2028. In the near term, the ramp-up of the Salares Norte mine in Chile is on track for steady-state production in the fourth quarter of 2025, while the planned consolidation of the Gruyere mine in Australia adds another layer of high-quality output.

Gold Fields’ financial performance is equally impressive. In the first half of 2025, it generated $952 million in adjusted free cash flow, a sharp turnaround from last year’s outflow, courtesy of higher volumes and strong gold prices. The company also boosted its interim dividend by 133% year over year. With 13.5% production growth expected this year, Gold Fields offers both growth and income potential.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for GFI’s 2025 EPS implies 94% year-over-year growth. Over the past 90 days, the consensus estimate has risen by 22 cents per share. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #2.

Harmony Gold Mining Co. Ltd. HMY saw a roughly 20% surge in all-in-sustaining costs (AISC) to $1,806 per ounce (oz) in the fiscal 2025 (ended June 30, 2025). Total cash operating costs also climbed 19% year over year to $1,499 per oz in the fiscal year, hurt by lower production and higher labor and electricity costs. Increased cash operating costs and higher sustaining capital led to the uptick in AISC. Harmony remains exposed to higher costs, which are likely to weigh on its margins over the near term. Labor and electricity remain the largest components of its cost structure.  HMY experienced a 16% increase in electricity and water costs in fiscal 2025 due to higher annual tariffs charged by Eskom. While the company is implementing various energy-saving initiatives and launching a renewable energy program, the burden of higher electricity costs is unlikely to abate over the near term due to higher tariffs. The company’s AISC guidance for fiscal 2026 indicates a year-over-year increase, reflecting inflationary pressures and higher sustaining capital expenditures.  Among its peers, AngloGold Ashanti plc AU saw higher total operating costs in the second quarter, including increased royalty expenses and costs associated with the initial inclusion of Sukari, elevated costs related to legacy TSFs and higher costs resulting from mining contractor rate adjustments. AngloGold Ashanti’s total cash costs per ounce were up 8%, while AISC per ounce increased 7%. AngloGold expects consolidated AISC in the band of $1,580- $1,705 per ounce in 2025.Gold Fields Limited GFI reported a roughly 0.7% year-over-year decline in AISC to $1,739 per ounce in the second quarter. Gold Fields’ all-in cost rose around 2% year over year. Gold Fields sees AISC of $1,500-$1,650 per ounce and all-in cost between $1,780-$1,930 per ounce for full-year 2025.

HMY’s Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates

Shares of Harmony Gold have shot up 61.8% year to date against the Zacks Mining – Gold industry’s rise of 85.4%, thanks to a surge in gold prices.

TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V): GRGFrankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE): G6AOTCQB Venture Market (OTCQB): GARWF

www.goldenarrowresources.com  •  info@goldenarrowresources.com

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 2, 2025 /CNW/ – Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (TSXV: GRG) (FSE: G6A) (OTCQB: GARWF), ("Golden Arrow" or the "Company") is pleased to report the results of its summer exploration program at the promising new Noemi target at the San Pietro IOCG Project, Chile ("San Pietro" or the "Project") (see Figure 1). Within Noemi, additional mapping and sampling have expanded the understanding of a previously identified structural system that hosts significant gold and anomalous copper (Figure 2). Mineralization occurs mainly in veins and veinlets within breccias and was also found in veinlets within the surrounding host rocks.

Highlights of the program include:

• 24 of 50 new samples returned results of greater than 1 g/t Au

• Chip channel samples across the main structure include:

  • 10.0m averaging 1.88 g/t Au

  • 8.0m averaging 1.66 g/t Au

  • 10.5m averaging 1.82 g/t Au

• Main structural zone mapped over 1 kilometre in strike, with an average width of 25 metres and a maximum width of 40 metres at surface.

Outcrops are sparse in the area, and the main breccia system remains open under surface cover in all four directions, and untested at depth.  Additional subparallel structures were identified and sampled where outcrop allowed, up to 300 metres from the main structure. These returned multiple samples with significant gold, including the high value of the program at 5.67 g/t Au in a 0.30 m wide structure.

Brian McEwen, Golden Arrow VP Exploration and Development stated, "Our initial impressions of Noemi were that it looked interesting for its potential to add resources similar to Rincones and Colla.  What we did not expect was to also find this extensive gold-rich system, which is already impressing us with its width and grades but also in the continuity it is demonstrating.  What we have identified so far has been through very limited sampling within what is a large area that has the potential to host a significant amount of gold and copper.  We are very excited with the results to date, and we are going to continue exploration to delineate drill targets as a priority for our next exploration drilling campaign. Discoveries like Noemi makes us appreciate the size and potential for multiple deposits at San Pietro."

An excavator is being mobilized to Noemi to complete trenching and facilitate detailed mapping and sampling of this zone and testing for extensions in areas currently under cover. The breccia-hosted gold and copper mineralization at Noemi related to tourmaline alteration is believed to be related to the mineralized system identified at the Lolita Norte target that outcrops 3 kilometres to the west, with similar orientation and mineralization (Figure 1); see News Release dated May 14, 2025). Additional historic workings for gold and indications of other similar north-south gold structures occur in several locations further west within the San Pietro property. The field team will be continuing to evaluate these additional prospects as part of its ongoing exploration of the entire western part of the project, which has seen very limited work to date.

Exploration Program Details

The Noemi target area covers roughly a 2 kilometre by 3 kilometre area located approximately 7 kilometres south of the Rincones resource (approximately centred on the target name shown in Figure 1). The main geological units mapped in the Noemi area are fine grained andesites, tuffs and volcaniclastic rocks intruded by a microdiorite with some areas of substantial gravel cover.

The Noemi target is characterized by a scapolite-actinolite-magnetite alteration assemblage associated with IOCG-style copper mineralization.   In addition, an earlier stage alteration assemblage characterized by tourmaline is associated with a north-south structural system identified within an area of approximately 1 kilometre by 750m area (yellow outline in Figure 1 with details in Figure 2). This system includes a wide brecciated zone with veins and veinlets filled with tourmaline-quartz-calcite-jarosite and minor barite, specularite and minor chrysocolla. Four rock chip channel samples previously collected across the southern part of this system, along 800 metres of strike, returned significant gold-copper values such as 3.0 m with 4.19 g/t Au and 2.08% Cu (see News Release dated May 14, 2025).

These results prompted the summer follow-up program of more detailed mapping and chip channel sampling of the southern part of the system and the immediate surrounding area. Outcrops are limited, but the team was able to clear and sample wider areas. The main mineralized corridor is now mapped over approximately 1 kilometer north-south, dipping steeply westward, with an average width of 25 metres including a maximum width of 40 metres at surface. Within the corridor, tourmaline replacement has undergone later brecciation, incorporating carbonates, barite, and jarosite (former pyrite) associated with gold mineralization. Table 1 includes the summary gold and copper geochemical results of 50 new samples which include 48 chip channels plus 2 individual samples from the discard piles of historic small workings. Most samples were anomalous in gold, with nearly half the samples assaying over 1 g/t Au.  The weighted average for the 39 samples that fall within the breccia corridor is 1.52 g/t Au, however, it is also notable that many samples of host rock to the structure are also well mineralized. As shown in Figure 2, several continuous chip channel samples with significant grades of gold resulted in three long intervals, including: 10.0m averaging 1.88 g/t Au, 8.0m averaging 1.66 g/t Au, and 10.5m averaging 1.82 g/t Au (which includes 3 of 4 samples taken from host rock). Copper results varied with 14 samples returning assays greater than 0.1% Cu.

The team also explored the areas around the main structure in more detail. These areas are also mostly alluvium-covered, but additional subparallel structures approximately 150 to 300 metres west of the main structure were found to outcrop sporadically. Most samples were mineralized, including a high value of 5.67 g/t Au from a 0.30 m wide structure (see Figure 2).

The main mineralized breccia vein system that has been mapped and sampled may continue to the north and south, but it is obscured by surface cover at both ends. At the north end there are old historic workings, and a small hand trench was dug in the alluvium approximately 90 metres north of this location. The trench encountered what appears to be the same breccia vein structure and a sample assayed 1.05 g/t Au over 2.5m.  Future work will continue to explore the extents in both directions.

We recently published 10 Stocks Skyrocket While Wall Street Sinks; 5 Quietly Hit New Record Highs. Harmony Gold Mining Company Ltd. (NYSE:HMY) is one of the top performers on Friday.

Harmony Gold snapped a four-day losing streak on Friday, jumping 5.31 percent to end at $13.28 apiece as investors loaded positions following the surge in prices of gold.

As of writing, spot prices of gold were up by 0.97 percent to $3,450.29 per troy ounce, buoyed by a higher probability of an interest rate cut next month.

Gold typically benefits from lower interest rates, as the latter makes yields from bonds and savings less attractive. Additionally, lower interest rates tend to weaken the US dollar, making gold more affordable and appealing to foreign investors.

In other news, Harmony Gold Mining Company Ltd. (NYSE:HMY) reported a stellar earnings performance in the full fiscal year of 2025, with net income jumping by 75 percent to $802 million from $459 million in the same period last year.

Revenues grew 24 percent to $4.07 billion from $3.28 billion year-on-year, primarily driven by a 27-percent increase in the average gold price of $2,620/oz from $1,999/oz year-on-year.

Following the results, Harmony Gold Mining Company Ltd. (NYSE:HMY) declared $8.88 worth of cash dividends to shareholders as of October 10 record. The dividends are payable on October 13, 2025.

While we acknowledge the potential of HMY as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an extremely cheap AI stock that is also a major beneficiary of Trump tariffs and onshoring, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

Investors interested in stocks from the Mining – Gold sector have probably already heard of Harmony Gold (HMY) and Franco-Nevada (FNV). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks? Let's take a closer look.

Everyone has their own methods for finding great value opportunities, but our model includes pairing an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system with a strong Zacks Rank. The Zacks Rank favors stocks with strong earnings estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight companies with specific traits.

Harmony Gold and Franco-Nevada are sporting Zacks Ranks of #2 (Buy) and #3 (Hold), respectively, right now. This means that HMY's earnings estimate revision activity has been more impressive, so investors should feel comfortable with its improving analyst outlook. However, value investors will care about much more than just this.

Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.

Our Value category highlights undervalued companies by looking at a variety of key metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, as well as the P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that have been used by value investors for years.

HMY currently has a forward P/E ratio of 4.36, while FNV has a forward P/E of 37.93. We also note that HMY has a PEG ratio of 0.08. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. FNV currently has a PEG ratio of 2.42.

Another notable valuation metric for HMY is its P/B ratio of 3.12. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, FNV has a P/B of 5.38.

Based on these metrics and many more, HMY holds a Value grade of A, while FNV has a Value grade of F.

HMY has seen stronger estimate revision activity and sports more attractive valuation metrics than FNV, so it seems like value investors will conclude that HMY is the superior option right now.

Harmony Gold (HMY) has been on a downward spiral lately with significant selling pressure. After declining 6.3% over the past four weeks, the stock looks well positioned for a trend reversal as it is now in oversold territory and there is strong agreement among Wall Street analysts that the company will report better earnings than they predicted earlier.

We use Relative Strength Index (RSI), one of the most commonly used technical indicators, for spotting whether a stock is oversold. This is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.

RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Usually, a stock is considered oversold when its RSI reading falls below 30.

Technically, every stock oscillates between being overbought and oversold irrespective of the quality of their fundamentals. And the beauty of RSI is that it helps you quickly and easily check if a stock's price is reaching a point of reversal.

So, by this measure, if a stock has gotten too far below its fair value just because of unwarranted selling pressure, investors may start looking for entry opportunities in the stock for benefiting from the inevitable rebound.

However, like every investing tool, RSI has its limitations, and should not be used alone for making an investment decision.

Why a Trend Reversal is Due for HMY

The heavy selling of HMY shares appears to be in the process of exhausting itself, as indicated by its RSI reading of 28.72. So, the trend for the stock could reverse soon for reaching the old equilibrium of supply and demand.

3-month RSI Chart for HMY

This technical indicator is not the only factor that calls for a potential rebound for the stock. There is a fundamental indicator as well. A strong agreement among sell-side analysts covering HMY in raising earnings estimates for the current year has led to an increase in the consensus EPS estimate by 1.4% over the last 30 days. And an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term.

Moreover, HMY currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. This is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential turnaround in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Positive Points

• Harmony Gold Mining Co Ltd (NYSE:HMY) achieved its 10th consecutive year of meeting production guidance, enhancing investor confidence.

• The company reported record high cash flows with adjusted free cash flow reaching over ZAR11 billion at a 16% margin.

• Headline earnings per share rose by 25% to ZAR23.37 per share, and a record final dividend of ZAR2.4 billion will be paid.

• Underground recovered grades increased to 6.27 grams per tonne, exceeding upward revised grade guidance.

• Harmony Gold Mining Co Ltd (NYSE:HMY) maintained a strong balance sheet with net cash surging by 285% to ZAR11.1 billion.

Negative Points

• The second half of the financial year saw unacceptable safety performance, despite improvements in LTIFR.

• All-in sustaining costs increased by 17% to ZAR1.05 million a kilogram, reflecting lower planned production and mine inflation.

• The company faced challenges in securing contractors for projects at Moab Khotsong and Mponeng, causing delays.

• Production decreased by 5% to 46 tonnes or 1.48 million ounces due to safety stoppages and inclement weather.

• The optimized assets quadrant operates at a higher cost, impacting margins despite efforts to maintain flexibility.

Q & A Highlights

Q: Bruce Williamson from Integral Asset Management asked about the sustainability of high grades at Mponeng and whether Harmony is high grading due to high gold prices. A: Beyers Nel, CEO, clarified that Harmony is not high grading but following a sequential grid mining method to ensure safety and stability. The current high grades are a result of overperformance on planned reserve grades, and the focus remains on maintaining reserve grades as a hedge against cost inflation.

Q: An unidentified participant inquired about the opportunity cost of delays in the Wafi-Golpu project. A: Beyers Nel acknowledged the significant opportunity cost due to delays but emphasized the project's value as a Tier 1 copper-gold mine. He expressed confidence that the wait is worthwhile, given the global demand for large-scale copper mines.

Q: Arnold Van Graan from Nedbank asked about operational and CapEx changes for MAC Copper and the flexibility to maintain margins in optimized assets. A: Beyers Nel stated that Harmony will conduct a detailed technical analysis of MAC Copper post-acquisition to align it with their operational standards. He also mentioned that optimized assets are managed with flexibility and sustaining CapEx to maintain production and margins.

Q: Rene Hofreiter from Noah Capital questioned the production gap between 2030 and 2035 and the sustainable grade at Mponeng. A: Beyers Nel explained that the gap is due to the tapering of optimized assets and not related to MAC Copper. He noted that the current high grades at Mponeng are due to mining in high-grade areas, but future grades should align with reserve grades.

Q: A participant asked about the impact of high gold prices on cutoff grades and grade management. A: Beyers Nel emphasized that Harmony maintains constant cutoff grades regardless of gold price fluctuations to avoid mining lower-grade areas that could be less profitable in the future.

A month has gone by since the last earnings report for FMC (FMC). Shares have added about 0.7% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is FMC due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for FMC Corporation before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

FMC's Earnings Surpass Estimates in Q2 on Higher Volumes

FMC reported earnings of 53 cents per share for second-quarter 2025, down from $2.35 in the year-ago quarter.Barring one-time items, adjusted earnings per share were 69 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 59 cents.Revenues were roughly $1.05 billion in the quarter, up around 1.2% from the year-ago quarter’s levels. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $965.4 million.Second-quarter revenues increased primarily due to a 6% rise in volume, as customers in most countries seemed to have reached their desired inventory levels for FMC products. Prices fell 3%, with more than half of the decline linked to price reductions in specific "cost-plus" contracts with certain diamide partners, reflecting lower manufacturing costs. Foreign exchange rates negatively impacted results by 1%. Sales from the company’s growth portfolio rose by a high single-digit percentage, while sales from the core portfolio remained largely unchanged.

Regional Sales Performance

In North America, sales declined 5% year over year to $321 million in the quarter. Sales in North America decreased, as strong growth in branded products in the United States was outweighed by reduced volumes in Canada due to anticipated inventory destocking. It topped the consensus estimate of $294.1 million.Latin American sales saw a 1% year-over-year increase to $310 million in the reported quarter. Sales in Latin America benefited from the strong growth of the new active ingredients, fluindapyr and Isoflex active. It beat the consensus estimate of $296.1 million.In Asia, revenues declined 17% from the previous year to $159 million. Sales in Asia declined due to lower pricing as well as reduced volume driven by ongoing destocking activity in India. It missed the consensus estimate of $163.7 million.EMEA experienced a 29% year-over-year sales increase to $260 million in the reported quarter. The growth was fueled by significant volume increases, especially in herbicides, products from diamide partners and branded Cyazypyr offerings. The Plant Health segment also expanded, supported by growth in biological products. It beat the consensus estimate of $223.6 million.

Financials

The company had cash and cash equivalents of $438.2 million at the end of the quarter. Long-term debt was roughly $3.27 billion.

Guidance

FMC expects full-year revenues (excluding India) to range between $4.08 billion and $4.28 billion, implying a 2% decline at the midpoint compared to 2024. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted between $870 million and $950 million, indicating 1% growth at the midpoint. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) are projected to be $3.26 to $3.70, indicating a year-over-year no change at the midpoint.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?

In the past month, investors have witnessed a upward trend in fresh estimates.

VGM Scores

Currently, FMC has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a C. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a grade of B on the value side, putting it in the top 40% for value investors.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

Outlook

Estimates have been trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. Interestingly, FMC has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc. FCX remains focused on strong execution and advancing its organic growth opportunities. Its expansion projects aim to boost production capacity, backed by a strong financial health.FCX is evaluating a large-scale expansion at El Abra in Chile to define a large sulfide resource that could potentially support a major mill project similar to the large-scale concentrator at Cerro Verde. Freeport is also conducting pre-feasibility studies (expected to be completed in 2026) in the Safford/Lone Star operations in Arizona to define a significant sulfide expansion opportunity. It also has expansion opportunities at Bagdad in Arizona to more than double the concentrator capacity of the operation. Also, PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) substantially completed the construction of the new greenfield smelter in Eastern Java during 2024, with the start-up commencing in the second quarter of 2025. The first production of copper anode was achieved in July 2025. PT-FI is also developing the Kucing Liar ore body within the Grasberg district with a targeted commencement of production by 2030. Gold production also commenced at the new precious metals refinery in late 2024. Plans are in place to transition PT-FI’s existing energy source from coal to natural gas, which is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at Grasberg significantly. FCX’s organic growth pipeline, designed to expand capacity and output, positions itself well to benefit from future demand growth. Effective execution of these projects will strengthen its ability to drive shareholder value.Among FCX’s peers, Southern Copper Corporation SCCO has a strong pipeline of world-class copper greenfield projects and various other promising opportunities. Southern Copper’s capital investment program for this decade is more than $15 billion. This includes investments in El Pilar and El Arco projects in Mexico and the Tia Maria, Los Chancas and Michiquillay projects in Peru. Southern Copper continues to build its presence in Peru as the country is the second-largest producer of copper. BHP Group Limited BHP continues to strengthen its portfolio to focus on commodities, including copper. In Chile, BHP has several key projects, which can grow copper production to average roughly 1.4 million tons per annum (Mtpa) through the 2030s. BHP is investing in its 100% owned Copper South Australia asset, focusing on all three operations. BHP also has a 45% interest in the Resolution Copper Project in the United States, one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in the world.

Most readers would already be aware that Impala Platinum Holdings' (JSE:IMP) stock increased significantly by 22% over the past three months. However, we decided to pay attention to the company's fundamentals which don't appear to give a clear sign about the company's financial health. Particularly, we will be paying attention to Impala Platinum Holdings' ROE today.

Return on equity or ROE is a key measure used to assess how efficiently a company's management is utilizing the company's capital. In short, ROE shows the profit each dollar generates with respect to its shareholder investments.

We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

How Do You Calculate Return On Equity?

ROE can be calculated by using the formula:

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Impala Platinum Holdings is:

0.7% = R707m ÷ R97b (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2025).

The 'return' is the yearly profit. So, this means that for every ZAR1 of its shareholder's investments, the company generates a profit of ZAR0.01.

Check out our latest analysis for Impala Platinum Holdings

Why Is ROE Important For Earnings Growth?

So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. We now need to evaluate how much profit the company reinvests or "retains" for future growth which then gives us an idea about the growth potential of the company. Assuming all else is equal, companies that have both a higher return on equity and higher profit retention are usually the ones that have a higher growth rate when compared to companies that don't have the same features.

Impala Platinum Holdings' Earnings Growth And 0.7% ROE

It is quite clear that Impala Platinum Holdings' ROE is rather low. Even when compared to the industry average of 6.4%, the ROE figure is pretty disappointing. Given the circumstances, the significant decline in net income by 53% seen by Impala Platinum Holdings over the last five years is not surprising. We believe that there also might be other aspects that are negatively influencing the company's earnings prospects. For instance, the company has a very high payout ratio, or is faced with competitive pressures.

However, when we compared Impala Platinum Holdings' growth with the industry we found that while the company's earnings have been shrinking, the industry has seen an earnings growth of 4.5% in the same period. This is quite worrisome.

JSE:IMP Past Earnings Growth August 29th 2025

Earnings growth is an important metric to consider when valuing a stock. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. Doing so will help them establish if the stock's future looks promising or ominous. What is IMP worth today? The intrinsic value infographic in our free research report helps visualize whether IMP is currently mispriced by the market.

Is Impala Platinum Holdings Efficiently Re-investing Its Profits?

While the company did payout a portion of its dividend in the past, it currently doesn't pay a regular dividend. This implies that potentially all of its profits are being reinvested in the business.

Summary

Overall, we have mixed feelings about Impala Platinum Holdings. Even though it appears to be retaining most of its profits, given the low ROE, investors may not be benefitting from all that reinvestment after all. The low earnings growth suggests our theory correct. Having said that, looking at current analyst estimates, we found that the company's earnings growth rate is expected to see a huge improvement.

PL Gold Mine: Poised for Advancement

The PL Gold Mine is an advanced-stage development project with significant existing infrastructure, including a 1,000 tonnes-per-day (tpd) processing plant, over 7,000 meters of underground ramp development, and a valid underground mining permit.

Planning for technical programs at the PL Gold Mine continues to advance with a focus on a revised mine development plan based on the full 1,000 tpd mill capacity, which prioritizes lower-cost open pit mining methods in the initial years of operation. In addition to surface exploration and infill drilling, the Company believes updated metallurgical test work to include ore sorting and gravity recovery studies could have a positive impact on the project by potentially increasing grades, improving recovery, and lowering processing costs.

The work programs planned for 2025 and 2026 will help to advance the PL Gold Mine and inform a future feasibility study to be completed in 2026. Key development activities will include:

• Diamond drilling to expand resources and upgrade reserves.

• An updated Mineral Resource Estimate.

• A revised mine development plan prioritizing open pit mining.

• Updated metallurgical test work.

• An updated, comprehensive Feasibility Study.

A&B Global Mining Scope of Work

ABGM will initially manage the project's technical advancement in two distinct stages:

Stage 1: Mining Concept Development

This initial stage will establish the foundational data and models required for advanced engineering and economic studies. Key deliverables include:

• An audited and signed-off drilling database.

• Updated geological and resource models.

• A NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate.

• A comprehensive internal mining concept study report.

• A detailed roadmap for Stage 2.

Stage 2: Class 3 Feasibility Study

Following the successful completion of Stage 1, ABGM will undertake a full Feasibility Study to Class 3 engineering standards. This stage will provide the detailed engineering and financial analysis required for a financial analysis and a future production decision. Key deliverables include:

• Detailed mining design and layout (open pit and underground).

• A 3D mine plan and schedule.

• Mine engineering and infrastructure layout.

• Basic engineering.

• A NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Reserves Estímate.

• Detailed capital and operating cost estimates and financial models.

• A final NI 43-101 Technical Report and Feasibility Study.

Mr. Glenn concluded, "The structured, two-stage approach being executed by ABGM is precisely what is needed to move the PL Gold Mine forward. ABGM will ensure highest QA/QC standards in data collection and analysis and will provide a high-quality, independent technical validation of the PL Gold Mine project required to secure development funding and execute on our vision of restarting the mine. We look forward to working closely with the ABGM team and updating our shareholders as we achieve key milestones."

About Minnova Corp.

Minnova Corp. is focused on the restart of its PL Gold Mine and completed a positive Feasibility Study in 2018, based on a gold price of US$1,250 per ounce. The study concluded the restart of the PL Gold Mine, at an average annual production rate of 46,493 ounces over a minimum 5-year mine life, was economically robust. Importantly the global resource remains open to expansion, as does the reserve. The PL Gold Mine benefits from a short pre-production timeline forecast at 15 months, a valid underground mining permit (Environment Act 1207E), an existing 1,000 tpd processing plant, over 7,000 meters of developed underground ramp to -135 metres depth.

BHP Group Limited (NYSE:BHP) is among the  7 Best Manganese Stocks to Buy Right Now. BHP Group Limited (NYSE:BHP) missed forecasts of $10.22 billion with an FY25 underlying profit of $10.16 billion, its lowest in five years and a 26% year-over-year decline. Results were impacted by the weakness in iron ore, brought on by a slowdown in Chinese demand. However, shares rose 1% when the miner declared a higher-than-expected total dividend of $1.10 per share, including a final payout of $0.60, topping the consensus of $1.01, although still the lowest since 2017.

BHP Group Limited (NYSE:BHP)’s realized iron ore price fell 19%, putting pressure on earnings, although this was partially offset by higher copper prices. The business raised its net debt objective to $10-20 billion and planned $11 billion in project and exploration spending over the next two years, with future spending expected to decline.

Mike Henry, the CEO, stated that despite tariff uncertainty, commodity demand is solid. Although the miner has warned that suitable acquisition possibilities are scarce, it is prioritizing the growth of copper and potash. Furthermore, BHP agreed to sell Brazilian copper assets for $465 million after pointing out a $1.7 billion cost overrun at its Jansen potash project. It is among the Best Manganese Stocks.

While we acknowledge the potential of BHP as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

China’s Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd sees unprecedented global uncertainties on the critical and precious metals markets amid rising protectionism and trade barriers, the biggest Chinese and the world’s largest metals miner in terms of market value said on Wednesday.

Zijin Mining, which is now the third top valued metals miner behind Rio Tinto and BHP, flagged in its half-year earnings report that “Geopolitical risks are increasingly severe, and regional conflicts are spreading globally. Global uncertainties have become unprecedented.”

Following the tariff and trade war initiated by the United States, “The global political and economic orders established since World War II are facing comprehensive challenges.”

Against this backdrop, the competition for critical minerals among major powers “has entered a high-intensity confrontation phase,” Zijin Mining said, warning that the changing global order may impact the prices of metals and critical minerals and affect the company’s revenue, profits, and new overseas projects.

“Differences in politics, policies and laws among various countries and regions, as well as resource nationalism sentiments, may pose certain challenges to construction and production operations,” said the Chinese metals miner, which generates most of its revenues and profit from gold and copper.

In the copper market, Zijin Mining expects wide fluctuation in prices due to the U.S. copper tariffs, while Chinese demand remains resilient amid infrastructure investment growth and the long-term structural supply gap in refined copper.

The attractiveness of gold as an asset has increased due to global trade uncertainties, a weak U.S. dollar, and high levels of gold purchases from central banks, Zijin said.

In the lithium market, it will still take time to achieve a clearing of the oversupply, the Chinese company said.

The heavily concentrated supply of critical minerals in a handful of countries and China’s export controls are raising the risk of “painful disruptions” in the market, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned in May in its annual report, Global Critical Minerals Outlook.

Despite major deals and government support in the West for building domestic supply chains, China has raised its market share over the past few years, the IEA’s report found.
