The mineral crisis hiding inside summer drought headlines

As reservoirs shrink and heat records fall across three continents, the same drought is quietly closing in on the mines that produce the copper, lithium and cobalt the energy transition depends on.

I just learned it was Texture Tuesday, so enjoy some (mostly) Brochantite (Cu₄SO₄₆) from a mine trip in a historic copper mine the other month.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: ⚡🧲 #Cambridge #math professor Hannah Fry demonstrates how to build a simple electric #motor using a #battery, #copper wire, #magnets, and paper clips.

Winding wire into a coil creates an electromagnet that repels and attracts the magnet beneath, forcing the coil to spin.

Rame: il maltempo in Cile blocca le miniere e riapre il rischio-offerta
https://www.metallirari.com/rame-maltempo-cile-blocca-miniere-riapre-rischio-offerta/
Le tempeste nel nord del Cile hanno fermato o rallentato diverse miniere di rame, da Caserones a Los Pelambres e El Teniente. L’impatto appare temporaneo, ma mette a nudo un mercato già esposto a minori gradi minerari, difficoltà idriche e tempi lunghi per sviluppare nuova offerta.

#Mining sub-Saharan Africa is expanding rapidly. This poses a key threat to tropical forests.

"For every hectare of direct deforestation due to the mine footprint, mining triggers, on average, 34 hectares of additional offsite loss within five years through ancillary activities, including agriculture and settlements. Mines extracting cobalt and copper—key energy transition minerals—caused the highest amount of additional deforestation."

Morton et al. (2026). "Mining triggers extensive additional deforestation in sub-Saharan Africa" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10551-2 🧩 🧵

Rame: surplus fino al 2028 e una possibile correzione nel 2027 (Macquarie)
https://www.metallirari.com/rame-surplus-fino-2028-possibile-correzione-2027-macquarie/
Il rame corre, sostenuto da flussi legati ai possibili dazi statunitensi e dal momentum finanziario. Ma Macquarie rileva scorte ai massimi, domanda debole e surplus rilevanti fino al 2028. La tensione sui prezzi non coincide ancora con una reale penuria fisica.

The thing is that with the current violent heat wave in France, working at the forge is nonsense. Hammering copper is a good compromise.
