Inside the AVZ Shareholder Vote
Money of Mine made an appearance at the much-anticipated AVZ AGM, which was set up for fire works with more directors up for elections than we’ve ever seen before. We shared our thoughts on the numerous mining companies which have seen their exec remuneration packages voted against by shareholders, then pull apart the latest updates from the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act + how it impacts an ASX rare earth hopeful. MinRes (MIN) weren’t going to share further info on the acquisition of Bald Hill so we had to do it for them, and lastly we briefly touch on the halt of copper mining at the enormous Cobre Panama.

We’ve got a wild one for the Money Miners today, starting with highlights from some AGMs plus an interesting phenomenon for all to look out for. Next up we cracked into Strandline (STA) who finally gave the market some more news to go off at their troubled Coburn operation. OreCorp (ORR) was next on our radar after we highlighted a potential cash kicker yesterday, and just one day later look at what Silver Corp have done!

Copper miners spending up for production + an OreCorp shareholder revolt?
We start off today with a bit of M&A unhappiness as the once happy takeover of OreCorp (ORR) by Canada’s SilverCorp seems to have soured. Next up we had a quick word on Patriot Battery Metals (PMT) drilling from CV9. AIC Mines (A1M) reserve upgrade for Lens 6 at the Eloise copper mine caught our eye as the company looks to expand the plant and lift production over the coming years. Copper behemoth Codelco got a shout out as they elected to spend more at Chuquicamata in the face of declining grades, deeper mines and rising costs. Lastly, WestGold (WGX) topped up their liquidity with a $100m RCF which naturally got the rumour mill going again.
