            <description><![CDATA[Mota-Engil is set to sign a 30-year concession with the Democratic Republic of Congo to operate a key copper and cobalt railway, potentially backed with up to $1-billion of US financing. The deal with Portugal’s biggest construction company covers the rehabilitation and management of the Congolese portion of the Lobito Corridor, an infrastructure project that aims to increase exports of critical minerals to Western markets, according to people familiar with the matter. Mota-Engil is already part of the consortium operating a connecting rail line in neighbouring Angola that runs to a port on the Atlantic Ocean coast.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Chinese steel producer Jingye Steel has once again implored the UK government to "face up to its obligations under international law, respect objective facts and provide adequate compensation for all of the group's losses".

"This is the minimum that is owed to a responsible enterprise, and more importantly, a necessary defence of the basic standards underpinning the international legal order," the company says in a statement issued on August 25. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The global economy has weathered the Iran war energy shock better than feared, International Monetary Fund MD Kristalina Georgieva said on Tuesday, but she raised concerns about deteriorating fiscal conditions in some countries shown by rising bond yields and a stalled disinflation process. Georgieva told reporters in a briefing ahead of next week's Group of 20 finance leaders meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, that there was a "tug of war" between the negative Gulf energy supply shock and growth tailwinds from the artificial intelligence investment boom that was starting to spread beyond US borders. She said risks to the global outlook were more balanced than in April, but still tilted to the downside, due to mounting fiscal pressures and the potential that central banks will have to maintain tight monetary policy to control inflation.

            <description><![CDATA[Mining bosses say that regulatory scrutiny of major mergers is increasing as governments pay closer attention to critical minerals and security of supply in the face of a volatile geopolitical backdrop, but they do not see the shift as a fundamental barrier to dealmaking. Executives at Glencore, Anglo American and Rio Tinto said after half-year results in July and August that antitrust reviews and national interest were becoming more prominent factors when assessing potential transactions, particularly where copper and other critical minerals are involved.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In response to its major shareholder Kyma Capital calling for a special meeting of shareholders on September 29, TSX-listed Sherritt International Corporation says Kyma is not entitled to call a meeting of the company's shareholders, adding that is "inappropriate" and "invalid" given the company's set date of December 15 for a combined yearly and requisitioned special meeting.

Sherritt says it is evaluating all appropriate action to be taken in response to Kyma's announcement, given that Kyma is seeking to initiate court proceedings against Sherritt to try and force a meeting date in September. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Israeli minerals technology company SelectREE has recorded in its latest laboratory results clear and repeatable element-specific electrochemical responses across its electrode systems, which marks meaningful progress in the company's proprietary effort to replace the conventional solvent extraction stage in rare earths separation with an electrochemical process. The company's laboratory work covered four elements over dozens of runs conducted over several weeks, providing the first technical indication that SelectREE's approach to rare earth separation can consistently distinguish between individual elements.]]></description>
