A market split in two: majors consolidated and rotated decisively into copper, while a resilient layer of junior placements kept financing the frontier underneath the headline deals.
Zijin Mining Group — Beijing-backed and the most aggressive gold acquirer of the past decade — could not get its own government to clear a $3.9 billion purchase of Allied Gold. The deal died July 29, replaced by a $295 million minority stake. The same week, Rio Tinto and Anglo American posted their strongest half-year copper results in years, and Anglo moved to sell De Beers for roughly a tenth of what it paid in 2011.
Ranked
Zijin Gold International's takeover of Allied Gold — announced in January at C$44 a share, valuing the Toronto-listed miner at roughly $4 billion — cleared Canadian and other international approvals months ago and then stalled indefinitely in China. The companies let the July 29 deadline lapse "mutually," citing only "broader external factors applicable to cross-border transactions." In its place, Zijin is buying 12.8 million newly issued Allied shares at C$32.55 for about $295 million, taking a 9.2% stake rather than the company outright, closing around August 10. Allied's own operations weren't the obstacle — Kurmuk in Ethiopia starts up this month. The obstacle was Zijin's home regulator.
Rio Tinto reported underlying H1 earnings of $6.9 billion, up 43% and the highest in four years, as copper division EBITDA surged 84% to $5.7 billion on the Oyu Tolgoi ramp-up in Mongolia and what CEO Simon Trott's team is calling electrification and AI-driven demand. Iron ore, still the largest single contributor at $6.8 billion, was flat. Copper and aluminium now account for around 56% of group profit — the first time energy-linked commodities have outearned iron ore at Rio. The board declared its highest interim dividend in four years, $2.11 a share.
Anglo American told a similar story from the other direction: group EBITDA rose to $4.0 billion from $3.0 billion, with copper contributing $2.9 billion at a 60% margin, while De Beers ran a $113 million EBITDA loss on rough-diamond prices down 32%. Anglo is now in talks to sell its 85% De Beers stake to a Gareth Penny-led consortium for about $1 billion — $750 million upfront, $250 million deferred — against a $2.3 billion carrying value and the $12.75 billion valuation Anglo paid for full control in 2011. Botswana holds pre-emption rights over 15% of the business and has not yet said whether it will exercise them.
Equinox Gold and Orla Mining closed their $18.5 billion all-share merger on July 31, creating North America's new senior gold producer at roughly 1.1 million ounces a year with a stated path to 1.9 million. Existing Equinox holders end up with about 67% of the combined company.
The unusual
Sundance Resources, a small ASX-listed explorer, won an International Chamber of Commerce ruling that Cameroon breached its obligations over the Mbalam-Nabeba iron-ore deposit — a rare instance this year of a junior beating a state at arbitration rather than the reverse. Resource nationalism has mostly run one direction in this cycle: governments tightening terms, reopening contracts, demanding local equity. A tribunal siding with the company, and opening the door to compensation, is worth watching as a counter-data-point, not yet a trend.
Context
Short term, the Zijin collapse and the Anglo/Rio results sit against a Hormuz backdrop that has stopped cooperating with anyone's base case. Brent traded near $90 and WTI near $85 on July 31 after Iran said it struck two tankers transiting the strait — a partial re-escalation, not the clean return to $100-plus this newsletter flagged last week, but not the "Hormuz is open" read from late June either. Iran has held direct talks with Saudi Arabia and Oman on the strait even while continuing to hit shipping; Goldman's own house view is that Brent moderates toward $80 only if Hormuz "fully reopens" by year-end, with Red Sea and Saudi infrastructure risk as the offsetting threat. Treat the oil number as unsettled, not resolved.
Medium term, last week's read that junior equity is quietly financing the frontier while sovereign capital takes the headlines still holds underneath this week's mega-deals — Saturn Metals raised A$100 million for its Apollo Hill gold project, Santana Minerals closed an A$130 million placement to advance Bendigo-Ophir in New Zealand, and Lotus Resources is running an A$35 million convertible note alongside an entitlement offer to fund the Kayelekera uranium restart in Malawi. What changed this week is which layer of the market generated the larger dollar figures. State-linked balance sheets — Coal India's ₹88.52 billion quarterly profit, Vedanta's continuing run of refinancing activity around its Indian zinc operations, Indonesia's Bumi Resources and Nickel Industries drawing down existing facilities — are still doing the heavy lifting on the production side even as Western majors dominate the equity and M&A story.
Longer term, the Rio and Anglo results are the clearest data point yet that the sector's capital allocation has genuinely rotated toward copper as a distinct, dividend-funding asset class rather than a cyclical bet, with iron ore holding steady and diamonds being marked down in a way that will set a valuation benchmark other natural-diamond assets can't easily avoid.
So what
For anyone pricing Chinese participation in a Western-listed mining deal, this week raises the execution-risk premium specifically on Beijing's own approvals process — not on the target jurisdiction, not on Committee on Foreign Investment-style Western screening, but on China's outbound capital controls, which took the better part of six months to produce no answer at all. Copper is now the metal that actually moves a major's dividend policy; gold and diamonds increasingly don't. Diesel-exposed operators should watch Hormuz closely — Rio itself flagged high diesel costs as a headwind even before this week's tanker attacks. This read fails if another large Chinese buyer closes a comparable majority outbound acquisition cleanly in the next few editions; that would suggest Zijin's problem was company-specific, not systemic.
Week-end price comparison: 24th vs 31st of July 2026

Week end prices shown are as of 18:00 UTC on 31st of July 2026
Gold edged 0.08% lower, remaining broadly stable as competing macroeconomic forces offset one another. Ongoing geopolitical tensions continued to underpin safe-haven demand, but stronger-than-expected US economic data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates higher for longer. Rising Treasury yields and a firmer US dollar limited investor appetite for non-yielding assets, leaving gold largely rangebound.
Silver declined 0.58%, following a similar macro pattern to gold while also reflecting softer industrial sentiment. Although demand from the solar and electronics sectors remains structurally supportive, profit-taking after recent gains and stronger dollar conditions weighed on prices.
Platinum group metals outperformed the broader precious metals complex. Platinum rose 4.35% as continued supply constraints in South Africa and improving automotive demand supported prices. Investors also continued rotating toward platinum as its valuation remained attractive relative to gold and palladium. Palladium gained 3.46%, recovering after several weeks of weakness as short covering and improved sentiment around vehicle production offset longer-term concerns surrounding the gradual transition toward electric vehicles.

Week end prices shown are as of 18:00 UTC on 31st of July 2026
Industrial metals generally strengthened, reflecting continued confidence in long-term electrification demand despite mixed global manufacturing data.
Copper rose 0.35%, remaining near historically elevated levels as persistent mine supply constraints and declining global inventories continued to offset softer Chinese manufacturing indicators. Demand linked to power grid expansion, artificial intelligence infrastructure and electric vehicles remains a key structural support for the market.
Tin gained 3.10%, supported by continued strength in semiconductor demand and tight concentrate availability across Southeast Asia. Zinc increased 1.53% as expectations for infrastructure spending and disciplined smelter output continued supporting market balances. Aluminum advanced 0.94%, benefiting from steady transportation and packaging demand alongside stable energy costs.
Lead fell 0.69% amid relatively subdued battery-sector demand and adequate refined supply. Iron Ore slipped 0.22% as weakness in China's property sector continued to weigh on steel demand expectations, although hopes for additional government stimulus limited downside.

Week end prices shown are as of 18:00 UTC on 31st of July 2026
Energy markets moved lower overall as geopolitical risk premiums continued to unwind. Brent Crude Oil fell 9.06%, reversing part of the previous week's sharp rally after no significant disruptions materialised to Middle Eastern oil exports. Improved confidence in supply through the Strait of Hormuz, combined with expectations of higher OPEC+ production and comfortable global inventories, encouraged traders to reduce risk premiums that had been built into prices.
US Natural Gas declined 4.65% as strong domestic production and healthy storage injections outweighed seasonal cooling demand. Coal rose 2.52%, supported by firm electricity demand across Asia and stronger import requirements from several emerging economies. Uranium gained 0.87% as governments and utilities continued securing long-term fuel supplies, reflecting the ongoing expansion of nuclear generation within global energy transition strategies.
