Cara MaesanoGUEST
At least that's what I'm hearing from others.
Cara MaesanoGUEST
So, for example, Anglo American has a big enhanced weathering project.
Cara MaesanoGUEST
I think it's called Project Earthstone in Brazil.
Cara MaesanoGUEST
And when they when I remember they were was at a talk and they were talking about it and they showed this giant pile, this giant, giant mountain of mine waste.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
And we've got some great landmark cases as well.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Now, this one is Anglo-American Platinum versus Amku on behalf of Makwaka.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
So Anglo-American operates the Rustenburg Mace Metal refiners, a very high risk environment.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Now, Macquaqua and Cimela were processors with eight and ten year service, respectively.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Now, Macquaqua had served as a full time safety representative.
MarkHOST
Okay, let me ask you about copper then.
MarkHOST
So we've got this news story from Anglo American because they're reporting a 5% drop in copper production this quarter.
MarkHOST
partly because of record snowfall in Chile.
MarkHOST
So you've spent a lot of time visiting mining projects and assessing the risk firsthand.
Mark HoldenHOST
Let's start with the UK.
Mark HoldenHOST
Some of our biggest mining companies, BHP Bulletin, which is the biggest mining company in the world, and Anglo American, both reported results, which... were sort of fine on the face of it.
Mark HoldenHOST
But when you look into it, their production was very weak.
Mark HoldenHOST
So if it hadn't had a rise in some of the commodity prices, the numbers would have been lower.
Paul HarrisHOST
And it's showing, as you say, the figures you show, that China's feeling the pinch.
Paul HarrisHOST
And this is presumably why China has made it an explicit condition for China to agree to the Anglo-American tech resources merger, that the resulting entity guarantees supplies of copper from its entity to China will not be impacted.
Christopher EcclestoneGUEST
yep yep um and you know it's very difficult for these big companies to resist um political pressure anglo-american tech will be a sort of like a uk canadian entity but the us has a bit of a long arm these days and um is more prone towards using stick than carrot in trying to persuade companies that maybe don't have much of a u.s presence um into doing its will and its will seems to be um putting the squeeze on china
Paul HarrisHOST
chris from your point of view what can a country do without more can it do without copper or can it can it do without rare earths if you had to choose which one would you choose
Stephen GrootesHOST
We've seen periods of concentration for as long as we've had stock markets.
Stephen GrootesHOST
When the JC started, it was really all about mining stocks, Anglo-American.
Stephen GrootesHOST
Over time, that changed.
Stephen GrootesHOST
You've seen this in different eras.
speaker_0HOST
Chile's copper industry is facing mounting production pressures as severe weather, declining ore grades and operational disruptions affect major mines.
speaker_0HOST
Anglo-American reported a 6% annual decline in its Chilean copper output during the third quarter, while production attributable to its Colahuasi operation fell 11%.
speaker_0HOST
BHP has also reported challenges involving maintenance, weather, and safety interruptions.
speaker_0HOST
National figures indicate Chile's copper production declined 7.7% during the first eight months of 2026.

Rohitesh DhawanGUEST
It can, but you can also do it really well.
Rohitesh DhawanGUEST
So Anglo American, a company whose facility I went to visit, not a single person lost their job as a result of creating this remote operating center.
Rohitesh DhawanGUEST
They retrained those people to perform other jobs at those sites, or they were moved to other sites, or they were brought into the remote operating center.
Rohitesh DhawanGUEST
So companies who are doing this also are doing it from a place of responsibility that they can't just hollow out the local workforce.
Paul ZimniskyHOST
So this has been going on for two years now.
Paul ZimniskyHOST
I think everyone at Anglo-American, everybody at De Beers, every stakeholder wants to get this done.
Paul ZimniskyHOST
It's been a slow process, and I think it's been so slow because there's multiple governments involved.
Paul ZimniskyHOST
And by nature, governments are going to be slower moving than the private sector.
