PERTH, Australia, December 05, 2025–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Australia’s first Cat® 793 XE Early Learner battery-electric haul trucks have arrived at BHP’s Jimblebar iron ore mine in the Pilbara, marking the start of on-site testing, in collaboration with Rio Tinto, of Caterpillar’s battery-electric heavy haulage technology in the region that powers the nation’s economy.

The two Early Learner trucks, delivered through an industry-first collaboration between BHP, Rio Tinto and Caterpillar represent a major step toward a more sustainable future in mining, designed to deliver zero exhaust emissions while maintaining productivity and performance.

Once safely commissioned, the trials will begin to test the viability of battery-electric technology as an alternative to diesel usage in large-scale iron ore mining operations. The trials will help inform the development of technology, processes, infrastructure and people required to support lower greenhouse gas emissions machines and mine sites of the future.

Decarbonisation of Pilbara iron ore operations will rely on technology advancements and breakthroughs in research and development, which is why BHP and Rio Tinto are working closely with Caterpillar, supported by WesTrac, to accelerate development and transition their fleets as soon as commercially and operationally viable.

Following the joint trial, BHP and Rio Tinto will independently determine progress towards scaled trials within their respective operational environments.

BHP Western Australia Iron Ore Asset President Tim Day said: "Powering up our first battery-electric haul trucks in the Pilbara is an important step forward on the mining industry’s road to decarbonisation.

"Replacing diesel isn’t just about changing energy sources, it’s about reimagining how we operate and creating the technologies, infrastructure and supply chains to transform mining operations. These trials will help us understand how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together: the battery technologies, generation and charging infrastructure, power management, as well as the supply chains to potentially deliver this at scale.

"A significant shift like this demands a strong commitment to research and development, coupled with collaboration across the industry. This is going to take time to get right, which is why trials like this one with Rio Tinto and Caterpillar are so critical.

"These trials are a critical part of this work as we bring the testing to the reality of the Pilbara. We're excited about what we’ll learn about how best to deliver the breakthroughs required to accelerate this transition."

Rio Tinto Iron Ore Pilbara Mines Managing Director Andrew Wilson said: "Decarbonising Rio Tinto’s fleet across our 18 Pilbara mines is a significant challenge. By exploring solutions like this to reduce emissions, we hope that, over time, we will be able to move away from diesel.

"No single company can achieve zero emissions haulage on its own. It takes the whole industry working together. That’s why we’re working with BHP and Caterpillar to develop new solutions that will reduce emissions in mining and help us reach our net zero commitments.

"Through this industry-first collaboration to test Cat 793 XE Early Learner battery-electric haul trucks in Pilbara conditions, we hope to meet our shared goals as quickly and efficiently as we can."

Caterpillar Inc. Resource Industries Sales Services and Technology Senior Vice President Marc Cameron said: "The arrival of the Early Learner trucks in the Pilbara marks a significant milestone in the journey toward a more sustainable future.

"By working side by side with our customers, we’re delivering solutions to help them solve their toughest challenges while learning together each step of the way. This collaboration is key to accelerating innovation and shaping the next generation of mining technology, and we’re excited to be on this journey together with our Early Learner customers."

Ongoing testing and development throughout this trial will enable learning toward future deployment. This will inform the approach for testing a larger number of haul trucks and the potential integration of battery-electric haul truck fleets into each company’s operations.

The collaboration reflects the shared ambitions of BHP, Rio Tinto and Caterpillar to support BHP’s and Rio Tinto’s respective net zero operational greenhouse gas emissions goals by 2050.

Analysts have recently revised their outlook on BHP Group, with the fair value estimate increasing from A$44.73 to A$45.21. This change reflects shifting expectations for the stock, as revenue growth forecasts are now slightly positive. Stay tuned to discover how investors can stay informed as the BHP Group narrative continues to evolve in response to these developments.

Stay updated as the Fair Value for BHP Group shifts by adding it to your watchlist or portfolio. Alternatively, explore our Community to discover new perspectives on BHP Group.

What Wall Street Has Been Saying

Analyst coverage on BHP Group has focused on recent adjustments to price targets and an overall neutral stance, reflecting a mix of optimism and caution in the market's view of the company. Here is a summary of the major viewpoints from the Street:

🐂 Bullish Takeaways

• JPMorgan analyst Dominic O'Kane recently raised the firm's price target on BHP Group to 2,200 GBp from 2,160 GBp, maintaining a Neutral rating. This increase highlights some confidence in BHP's underlying fundamentals and an acknowledgement of successful execution despite a challenging market backdrop.

• The bump in the price target reflects a recognition of BHP’s quality of operations and its ability to deliver consistent performance. This has been a key driver praised by analysts when sentiment leans positive.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

• JPMorgan, again through Dominic O'Kane, subsequently lowered the price target back down to 2,100 GBp from 2,200 GBp while retaining a Neutral rating. This action underscores ongoing reservations about BHP’s near-term upside potential, valuation, and macroeconomic uncertainty weighing on the sector.

• The absence of any firm upgrades to an outright Buy or Overweight rating signals a degree of caution on Wall Street. Analysts appear to be waiting for clearer signs of growth momentum or positive catalysts before turning more constructive on the stock.

Overall, while analysts acknowledge BHP Group's operational strengths, recent revisions and cautious ratings indicate that further improvements in execution or external conditions may be required for more decisive positive sentiment around the stock’s valuation and future growth prospects.

ASX:BHP Community Fair Values as at Dec 2025What's in the News

• Anglo American has rejected BHP's most recent takeover offer. The company emphasized that the bid was not preferable to its existing plan for a merger with Teck Resources. This continues a period of high-stakes negotiations and uncertainty surrounding BHP’s acquisition ambitions.

• The High Court in London has ruled that BHP is legally liable for the 2015 Mariana dam disaster. The court found the company strictly responsible for both environmental damage and third-party claims. This decision could have significant financial and reputational implications for BHP in the long term.

• The U.S. Department of the Interior has added copper, silver, and metallurgical coal, three of BHP's primary business lines, to its list of critical minerals. This policy shift may influence future U.S. trade regulations and could strengthen BHP’s strategic position globally.

• BHP is considering reopening closed mines in the historic copper belt of Arizona. The company is encouraged by recent policy changes that boost the prospects for new exploration and production in the United States.

How This Changes the Fair Value For BHP Group

• The Fair Value Estimate has risen slightly, increasing from A$44.73 to A$45.21.

• The Discount Rate edged upward, moving from 7.95% to approximately 8.01%.

• Revenue Growth expectations have shifted from a slight contraction (−0.11%) to a modest projected increase (0.03%).

• The Net Profit Margin declined marginally, from 21.90% to 21.63%.

• The Future P/E Ratio ticked higher, rising from 16.71x to 17.10x.

(Reuters) -Global miner Anglo American on Thursday said it has raised about $2.5 billion from the sale of its remaining 19.9% stake in Valterra Platinum, its former subsidiary.

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

(Reporting by Raechel Thankam Job in Bengaluru; Editing by Mrigank Dhaniwala)

BHP Group has successfully priced a US$1.5 billion bond offer in the U.S. market, with proceeds designated for general corporate purposes. Over the last quarter, BHP’s stock price increased by nearly 10%, a move consistent with broader market trends where indices like the Dow Jones and S&P 500 also saw gains. BHP’s announcements of higher net income and earnings per share, alongside its bond offering, likely contributed to sustaining investor confidence during the quarter. Meanwhile, broader market trends, which have shown optimism due to expectations of potential interest rate cuts, provided additional support for overall stock performance.

We’ve discovered 2 possible red flags for BHP Group that you should be aware of before investing here.

ASX:BHP Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Sep 2025

We’ve found 18 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

The recent successful issuance of BHP Group’s US$1.5 billion bond is set to enhance the company’s liquidity and financial flexibility, potentially supporting further expansion plans, notably in copper and potash. Analysts remain vigilant about the company’s earnings outlook, especially given the significant financial obligations stemming from the Samarco dam failure. However, with operational excellence and cost discipline, BHP continues to maintain robust margins, providing a buffer against these pressures.

Over a five-year period, BHP’s total shareholder return, including dividends, reached 80.90%, indicating strong long-term performance. However, over the past year, BHP’s stock underperformed the broader Australian market, which returned 10%. Similarly, against the Australian Metals and Mining industry, which returned 22.4%, BHP’s performance fell short. This discrepancy highlights potential challenges in the company’s near-term growth trajectory.

The recent announcements, including the bond offer, could indirectly influence revenue and earnings forecasts by providing the capital required for new ventures. This capital injection could support potential growth in BHP’s diversified portfolio, particularly as it expands into potash production. Given a current share price of A$41.98, close to the analyst consensus price target of A$42.94, BHP’s stock appears fairly priced, reflecting a balance of opportunities and challenges. Investors may want to monitor how these initiatives develop and their influences on financial outcomes and market valuation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage

NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2025 /CNW/ — Across Colombia's legendary gold-producing regions, generations of traditional mining operations have accumulated enormous volumes of tailings, material that earlier technologies deemed worthless but which actually harbors substantial reserves of precious metals. These historical deposits now present a dual opportunity to both remedy long-standing environmental concerns while also accessing previously unrecoverable gold and silver through cutting-edge extraction methods. ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile) is pioneering this innovative approach, where its recently unveiled, fully permitted joint venture in Bolívar demonstrates how next-generation processing capabilities can convert abandoned mining waste into profitable, sustainable operations. Through environmentally conscious practices, ESGold is simultaneously extracting valuable resources and transforming decades-old ecological burdens into engines of responsible economic development. ESGold joins a select group of mining companies — including Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: KGC), Gold Fields Ltd. (NYSE: GFI), BHP Group Ltd. (NYSE: BHP) and Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE: WPM) — that are focused on positioning themselves in the global mining space through the use of environmentally friendly, advanced technologies combined with careful strategy.

Colombia's Untapped Mining Revolution

Colombia emerges as South America's geological treasure trove, where precious metals lie embedded throughout its diverse mineral landscapes. The nation achieved remarkable success in 2024, exporting roughly 60 metric tons of gold while accumulating around $3.55 billion in mining revenues from January through November. Gold production has been fundamental to Colombia's economic foundation, with key mining territories including Antioquia, Chocó, Bolívar and Córdoba establishing themselves as the country's premier extraction centers.

Yet Colombia's true potential extends far beyond current mining activities, residing within enormous stockpiles of historical tailings, centuries-old waste deposits from previous extraction efforts that continue to house substantial concentrations of valuable metals. Studies indicate that innovative reprocessing methods, especially hydrometallurgical approaches, can successfully extract precious and critical metals from these abandoned materials while simultaneously minimizing environmental hazards.

This intersection of abundant natural resources and cutting-edge recovery systems creates an extraordinary prospect for Colombia's future. Historical mining waste, previously viewed as an environmental burden, now represents a pathway to generate fresh income sources, address ecological concerns and advance sustainable mining practices.

Leading this transformative movement is ESGold Corp., a sustainable gold and silver development enterprise that champions a tailings-first extraction strategy. Though the company's primary operations are located in Quebec, ESGold has demonstrated its dedication to expanding this innovative approach throughout the Americas, with Colombia representing a key target market. Through the reprocessing of legacy tailings using sophisticated, environmentally conscious technologies, the company seeks to achieve rapid, profitable production while minimizing ecological disruption, exemplifying how technological advancement and environmental stewardship can unite in mining's sustainable future.

Strategic Colombian Gold Partnership Secured

ESGold Corp.'s latest announcement regarding a joint venture with Planta Magdalena S.A.S. in Colombia demonstrates the company's tactical expansion into this mineral-abundant nation. The organization has established a binding memorandum of understanding with Planta Magdalena to advance a fully permitted gold and silver venture within Colombia's Department of Bolívar.

This collaborative arrangement involves ESGold investing C$1.5 million to acquire a 50% joint venture stake, while securing first rights to acquire the remaining 50% within 12 months at fair market valuation established through independent third-party assessment. Crucially, Planta maintains existing operational permits, providing ESGold with an exceptional, immediate opportunity to establish a second production center complementing its Quebec-based Montauban facility.

The Department of Bolívar constitutes one of Colombia's premier gold-extraction territories, where artisanal and small-scale operations collectively handle an estimated 300,000 tonnes of ore per year, yielding roughly 128,000 ounces of gold. Following completion of definitive documentation and verification procedures, ESGold targets commissioning the Bolívar facility with planned operations beginning in 2026. The company intends to execute qualified person-supervised field assessments in early September for comprehensive tailings evaluation and metallurgical recovery analysis, while completing bulk-sample concentrate testing at its Montauban operations.

Exceptional Bolívar Sampling Results Revealed

ESGold's comprehensive reconnaissance sampling campaign within the Bolívar tailings zone has delivered highly promising outcomes that validate the substantial economic opportunity presented by this strategic alliance. Company reports indicate that 27 tailings samples underwent rigorous analysis at ACTLABS, producing an impressive average grade of approximately 5.52 grams per tonne gold.

The evaluation program demonstrated that nearly one-third of samples (8 out of 27) exceeded the significant 5 g/t Au threshold, indicating widespread precious metal distribution throughout the tailings deposit. Particularly notable intercepts emerged from the program, with sample SS806 delivering an exceptional 42.683 g/t Au, while samples SS816 and SS817 returned robust grades of 19.284 g/t Au and 18.332 g/t Au respectively. The sampling initiative also unveiled considerable silver mineralization potential, with numerous samples producing attractive silver concentrations surpassing 190 g/t Ag.

While these initial findings represent selective sampling and cannot be extrapolated across the complete tailings resource, they offer strong validation of the precious metal concentrations historically abandoned by traditional processing technologies throughout the region. ESGold acknowledges these finding represent preliminary, selective samples that may not reflect the broader project scope, yet they establish positive benchmarks for the detailed assessment program currently advancing.

The company is presently completing bulk-sample metallurgical evaluations to validate recovery efficiencies for the planned processing flowsheet, with testing conducted at ESGold's Montauban operations and verification assays performed at ACTLABS in Québec under accelerated timelines. This methodical metallurgical testing protocol will deliver essential technical data for refining operational parameters and substantiating the commercial feasibility of the tailings reprocessing venture, supported by these encouraging preliminary analytical results.

Advanced Technology Transforms Colombian Mining Legacy

Bolívar stands as one of Colombia's most historically important and actively productive gold-extraction districts, where generations of mining heritage continue yielding considerable precious metals through primarily artisanal and small-scale enterprises. Nevertheless, most ore processing relies on basic mercury amalgamation techniques that generally extract fewer than half the contained gold and silver reserves, abandoning significant precious metals concentrations in the produced tailings.

This inefficient extraction approach establishes a remarkable prospect for contemporary processing systems to retrieve abandoned precious metals, essentially converting current waste streams into profitable production material. The region's persistent dependence on obsolete processing methodologies indicates that generations of tailings accumulation harbor considerable precious metals deposits recoverable through modern, mercury-free extraction technologies. ESGold's advanced processing methodology can substantially enhance recovery percentages while eliminating environmental damage linked to mercury-dependent extraction practices.

The combination of significant tailings reserves, established mining infrastructure and an experienced regional workforce establishes ideal circumstances for deploying modern recovery systems that can extract value from previously discarded materials. CEO Gordon Robb observed that the region's developed mining infrastructure and experienced local workforce establish favorable conditions for initiating operations with immediate potential, enabling ESGold to showcase substantial improvements in precious metals extraction while supporting economic advancement within local mining communities.

A Launchpad to Scale Proven Model

The Bolívar joint venture represents ESGold's initial extension of its proven tailings-to-revenue methodology outside of Québec, serving as a key test for deploying this strategy across diverse regulatory environments. ESGold has successfully refined and demonstrated this breakthrough approach through its Montauban operations in Québec, where the framework centers on establishing immediate revenue streams from tailings reprocessing that simultaneously finance exploration programs, potentially unlocking fresh discoveries and resource growth.

"The Bolívar opportunity perfectly fits our vision for ESGold's growth," said Mastantuono. "Our team sees this as a launchpad to scale our proven model across multiple jurisdictions, delivering value for shareholders while making a measurable positive impact in the communities where we operate."

The strategic blueprint established via the Bolívar alliance creates a framework for subsequent joint ventures and asset acquisitions, illustrating ESGold's capability to quickly and efficiently broaden its operational presence while preserving prudent capital management. Through securing permitted assets within established mining regions, the company can establish consistent, replicable revenue generation that supports exploration and discovery initiatives without necessitating ongoing equity fundraising, establishing a self-sustaining growth engine that amplifies shareholder value.

Sustainable Mining Transforms Colombian Communities

ESGold's tailings reprocessing approach generates substantial ecological improvements that surpass conventional mining operations, tackling historical environmental issues while establishing economic opportunities for regional populations. The company's innovative mercury-free extraction processes mark a considerable advancement over basic techniques currently utilized across the Bolívar area, where mercury amalgamation not only diminishes precious metal recovery but also generates persistent environmental pollution affecting local wildlife habitats and public health.

Rehabilitating abandoned mining locations through responsible tailings reprocessing can substantially enhance environmental quality in zones affected by decades of ineffective processing approaches. ESGold's environmentally conscious processing protocols eliminate mercury usage while incorporating thorough environmental oversight measures that safeguard air and water resources, minimize emissions, and restore damaged terrain through structured site rehabilitation. This methodology converts environmental burdens into productive resources while providing quantifiable enhancements to regional environmental standards.

The ecological advantages encompass fostering sustainable regional employment prospects that offer alternatives to environmentally damaging mining activities. Through showcasing the financial benefits of clean processing innovation, ESGold can promote wider acceptance of environmentally sound mining techniques throughout the area while generating secure, well-compensated positions that bolster local economic growth. The company's dedication to community involvement and environmental responsibility reflects its comprehensive mission of demonstrating that profitable mining ventures can produce positive environmental and social results, setting a new benchmark for responsible resource development in historically affected mining territories.

"Bolívar has a long and storied history as one of Colombia's most prolific gold-producing regions, with decades of artisanal and small-scale mining contributing significantly to the country's overall output," said ESGold CEO Gordon Robb. "The region still processes hundreds of thousands of tonnes of ore annually, yet much of it is handled using rudimentary mercury amalgamation methods that leave behind a substantial amount of gold and silver in the tailings.

"This creates an immense opportunity for ESGold to apply modern, environmentally responsible recovery technology that can significantly improve yields while remediating legacy mine sites," Robb continued. "The early validation from our due-diligence sampling is highly encouraging, and it underscores the scalability of our tailings-to-cash-flow model as we aim to build a second high-margin operation in one of the most prolific gold-bearing districts in all South America."

SANTIAGO (Reuters) -Two recent accidents involving autonomous trucks are raising safety concerns, a workers' union at BHP's Escondida mine in Chile, the world's largest copper mine, said in a statement on Wednesday.

The union, which has often been critical of BHP and has staged strikes as part of contract negotiations, said that on August 25 an autonomous truck collided with shovel machinery and the week before, another truck overturned.

It did not report any injuries.

Despite that, the head of the Union Patricio Tapia told Reuters that while workers don't operate the vehicles, they perform other tasks in the area like maintaining roads.

In a statement, BHP said it has trained more than 4,800 workers in its automation process and has "totally eliminated" having people exposed when material is moved in the open pit.

BHP said that one of the incidents involving the autonomous trucks happened in March.

"In the other incident, that involved a mechanical shovel with an autonomous truck, there were no exposed people and it is still under internal investigation," the statement said.

The company in July said it had fully implemented autonomous operations for 33 trucks and eight drills at the mine's Escondida Norte unit, completing a five-year rollout.

"Less than a month since the announcement, the reality is revealing a huge risk to the safety of workers," the statement said.

Escondida produced 1.28 million tons of copper last year.
