I only did one thing wrong should’ve bought a lot more, about $7.00 gain in two weeks. I will just hold though I’m an income investor and that is a great return at that basis. Best Luck John

The main reason for recent drop in mining stocks was stronger dollar. All commodities are priced in dollars; when the dollar gets stronger, iron ore price declines. Of course, stronger dollar also reduces mining costs, incurred in local currencies, but this impact is less acknowledged. Basically, the market has a convention: dollar up, sell miners. In economic sense, stronger dollar together with higher rates will apply powerful brake on US domestic industries and bring US recession faster than inflation can be taken down. The economic slowdown will cool the dollar, and commodity prices will be strong again.

From today’s Reuters article Start of quote JOHANNESBURG, May 24 (Reuters) - Rio Tinto's QIT Madagascar Minerals (QMM) mineral sands mine restarted production on Monday following a five-day halt, after reaching an agreement with demonstrators who had set up roadblocks at the site, Rio told Reuters on Tuesday. Communities surrounding QMM's mine in southeastern Madagascar have been protesting over a release of water from the mine site into the surrounding environment, after which dead fish were found. Rio says water sampling data shows no link between the water release and the dead fish. End of quote

From today’s joint communique after UK-Mongolia roundtable meeting, posted on UK government site Start of quote Ministers welcomed the inclusion of Mongolia in the UK’s “Enhanced Framework” Trade Preference Arrangements from 1 January 2021 and expressed their intention to engage actively to facilitate bilateral trade and economic cooperation. They also welcomed the recent first visit of the UK Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Mongolia, Daniel Kawczynski MP and the recent agreement between Rio Tinto and the Mongolian government on commencement of the underground phase of the Oyu Tolgoi project. They noted the importance of an attractive business and investment environment in Mongolia and welcomed ongoing work on investment protection, legal reform and combatting corruption. End of quote It seems Oyu Tolgoi expansion gets traction, disregarding TRQ buyout outcome.

Recession is bad for miners; inflation is good for miners. So, the question, regarding mining investment, is whether inflation or recession will be in place in 4-6 months from now, around eoy.

Here's a recap of the recent announcement that $GMG signed an agreement to collaborate with Rio Tinto Group on energy-saving and storage solutions:
Under a non-binding term sheet, $GMG and Rio Tinto will: • Discuss trials of GMG's energy-saving products in existing and new applications, to deliver energy savings & associated carbon reductions to support Rio Tinto's decarbonization objectives • Explore supply of aluminum materials with an aim to optimize and accelerate battery development; • Investigate the use of G+Al batteries in various Rio Tinto mining and industrial applications as success could see significant performance enhancements for Rio's transition to low-carbon operations.
As both $GMG and Rio share a vision of a low carbon future, there is significant potential in their partnership to develop a green battery from low-carbon aluminum which could transform the way we supply and store energy.
Rio is one of the world's largest mining companies and is committed to leveraging leading technologies for efficient and low-carbon operations.
This collaboration adds another key element and represents another important step in developing $GMG's G+Al battery following the recent agreements with Wood for scaling graphene production and Bosch for automated battery production.
Reiterated as Hold at Berenberg in London. Price target GBP6500, equals to $81.49.

Rio dividend is variable, it depends on iron ore price. Most likely, it will be lower in 2022 than in 2021. This would not be a huge assumption/discovery. One can look at iron ore price and dividend history. However, Rio always paid and will pay good dividends comparing to other miners or other stocks. The business has solid foundation. One should look at mining assets, while analyzing a mining stock. Rio assets are much better than average. In a very bad, for miners, scenario, half miners worldwide will go bk, before Rio stops dividend.

CEO presented today on BofA Virtual Global Metals, Mining and Steel Conference. The transcript is available on SeekingAlpha. Besides habitual talk about climate and ESG, the CEO mentioned following points: Gudai-Darri startup goes very well. First production this quarter. Scandium and tellurium projects underscore Rio technological abilities. Rincon, Oyu Tolgoi and Simandou are important development projects. They will ramp-up Rincon. The company will be disciplined regarding TRQ buyout.

Canadian press reports today. Start of quote Rio Tinto Fer et Titane (RTFT) has produced a first batch of high purity scandium oxide at its commercial scale demonstration plant in Sorel-Tracy, becoming the first North American producer of this critical mineral, which is notably used in solide oxide fuel cells and in aluminium alloys. The RTFT team has completed commissioning activities, and is now focusing on production ramp up to bring the plant to its nameplate capacity of three tonnes of scandium oxide per year, representing approximately 20% of the global market. The plant uses an innovative process developed by RTFT to extract high purity scandium oxide from the waste streams of titanium dioxide production, without the need for any additional mining.

Serbian press actively discusses whether and/or when Jadar project will be re-started. Government officials try to play sheep roles so far, explaining that they like the project, while having no idea about Rio plans. However, some information is relevant. UK does have investment treaty with Serbia protecting UK companies operating in the country. Also, Rio met with EU commission and informed them about the situation. Serbia is currently in process of trying to join EU.
