BHP to acquire 19.9% stake in Canada’s Brixton Metals
Nov 2022
Australian mining giant BHP is set to invest up to C$13.9m ($10.19m) in Brixton Metals, with an aim to advance the Thorn Copper-Gold Porphyry Project in Canada. The transaction will see BHP picking Brixton Metals‘ common shares, at C$0.18 a share, in a non-brokered private placement. However, the number of shares to be issued by Brixton Metals and proceeds to be raised will be dependent on Crescat Portfolio Management’s move to exercise its pre-existing rights to take part in Brixton Metals’ equity financings. Crescat currently holds a 13.47% stake in Brixton Metals. In the event of Crescat not opting to exercise its rights, Brixton Metals will issue 74,363,172 of its common shares to BHP, for C$13.4m ($9.8m) in aggregate gross proceeds. If Crescat exercises its participation, Brixton Metals would issue 12,042,415 of its common shares to Crescat for C$2.2m in gross proceeds and 77,354,983 common shares to BHP for C$13.9m in aggregate gross proceeds. The private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, as well as other customary closing conditions, and is planned to complete in mid-November 2022.
Brixton Metals chairman and CEO Gary Thompson said: “We believe that the Thorn Project has the potential to help fill the immense demand for critical metals, such as copper, as our economy transitions to a sustainable low-carbon and electrified world.” In connection with the private placement, Brixton also signed an investment agreement with BHP, whereby the latter will hold certain rights and privileges to acquire common shares in Brixton on a pro-rata basis in the future.

BHP and Rio Tinto to collaborate on new tailings technology
Oct 2022
Global miners BHP and Rio Tinto have formed a partnership agreement to accelerate the development of technology that could significantly increase water recovery from mine tailings, and in turn reduce potential safety risks and environmental footprints associated with tailings storage facilities. The first project will involve testing the application of an innovative large-volume filter unit at a BHP copper mine in Chile, which would remove up to 80% of the water in the tailings stream before it is deposited in a storage facility. Rio Tinto will bring its experience from implementing smaller-scale tailings filters for bauxite residues at alumina refineries since 2005. Both organisations will work in collaboration with leading technology and equipment providers, technical experts, research groups and the academic sector. Manufacture of the filter unit is already underway. The pilot construction is due to begin in early 2023 and operations are scheduled to commence in early 2024. The pilot will test the potential of a large-scale tailings filter unit for scalability and cost-effectiveness across global mining operations. Removing more water from tailings would reduce potential risks associated with moisture in storage facilities, reduce the footprint required by such facilities, and create opportunities to productively re-use tailings, for example, as raw material for glass, construction or agriculture industries.
The additional water recovered from tailings by filtration could be re-used in processing facilities, reducing overall water consumption. BHP Chief Technical Officer, Laura Tyler, said: “The world will need more critical minerals in the decades to come to support economic development and decarbonisation pathways. It is important that we keep working together across the global mining sector to raise standards and make sure our operations are as safe and sustainable as they can be. Responsible management of tailings and improved water use is a big part of that.” Rio Tinto Chief Technical Officer, Mark Davies, said: “It is in everyone’s interest that we, as an industry, find safer and more sustainable ways to manage tailings. As two of the leading companies in the sector, we want to bring our combined knowledge and expertise to address this challenge.” Tailings usually takes the form of a liquid slurry made of fine metal or mineral particles and water – created when mined ore is crushed and finely ground in a milling process to enable the metals and minerals of interest to be extracted.

ArcelorMittal, BHP and Mitsubishi team up on steel decarbonisation
Oct 2022
ArcelorMittal has joined forces with BHP, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering (MHIENG), and Mitsubishi Development to trial carbon capture technology at its steel plants in Belgium and North America. Japan’s MHIENG has developed the technology to be used in the trial at ArcelorMittal’s steel blast furnace in Ghent, Belgium, and one of its Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plants in North America. BHP and Mitsubishi Development will fund this multi-year trial. The firms are the major suppliers of steel raw materials to ArcelorMittal’s operations in Europe. The parties will also carry out a feasibility and design study to support full-scale deployment. The partnership is aimed at identifying ways to enhance carbon capture and utilisation and/or storage (CCUS) technologies in the steelmaking sector, which as per Reuters is responsible for 7%-9% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Ghent trial using MHIENG’s proprietary CCUS technology will involve two phases, with phase one helping separate and capture the CO₂ top gas from the blast furnace at a rate of nearly 300kg on a daily basis. In phase two, tests will be conducted on the separating and capture of CO₂ from the off-gases in the hot strip mill reheating furnace that burns several industrial gases. ArcelorMittal Gent intends to commission its Steelanol project later this year.
The project is a scale demonstration plant to capture carbon-rich process gases from the Gent blast furnace and convert them into ethanol. This move is said to align with ArcelorMittal’s CO₂ emissions reduction goals of 35% by 2030 in Europe and 30% by 2030 globally. ArcelorMittal Belgium CEO Manfred Van Vlierberghe said: “Alongside our continued energy efficiency improvements, we are developing two routes to decarbonise steelmaking: Smart Carbon and Innovative-DRI. Both routes will contribute to our journey to deliver carbon-neutral steelmaking. “The Smart Carbon route also allows us to integrate carbon capture and re-use (CCU) or storage (CCS) technologies, capturing carbon emitted during the steelmaking process.” Recently, ArcelorMittal South Africa collaborated with Sasol to explore green hydrogen usage for steel making. BHP has also signed several partnerships in recent times for the production of green steel. This includes alliances with the University of Newcastle in Callaghan, Australia, as well as Tata Steel, among others.

What are the BHP Executives saying about business performance?
Comments from Mike Henry, BHP Chief Executive Officer:
“We have started the new financial year strongly, achieving safe and reliable operating performance. The first quarter included significant planned major maintenance in Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO), BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA), and Olympic Dam.”
“Copper production was up nine per cent on the same quarter last year, with strong concentrator throughput at Escondida and record quarterly anode production at Olympic Dam. WAIO continued to perform strongly, with production up by 3% relative to the same period last year, and we managed through substantial rainfall and labour constraints in our coal assets with production only down marginally year on year. Our full year production and unit cost guidance is unchanged. The South Flank iron ore ramp-up and the Jansen potash project are tracking well, with work ongoing to bring forward first production from Jansen Stage 1 and accelerate Jansen Stage 2.”
“During the quarter, BHP struck a new agreement to supply our WAIO port facilities with renewable electricity, which is expected to halve GHG emissions from the electricity used, signed an MoU with India’s Tata Steel to collaborate on lower GHG emission steelmaking and announced a partnership with Pan Pacific Copper to reduce GHG emissions from maritime transportation, as we take further action to reduce GHG emissions from our operations and support decarbonisation of our suppliers and customers.”
“We expect global macro-economic uncertainty in the short term to continue to affect supply chains, energy costs, labour markets and equipment and materials availability. BHP remains well positioned, with a portfolio and balance sheet to withstand external challenges and a strategy positioned to benefit from the global mega-trends of decarbonisation and electrification.”
