RBC Capital Markets analyst Marina Calero suggests a Glencore (OTC:GLNCY) and Anglo American (OTC:NGLOY) merger would offer more synergies than BHP Group's (NYSE:BHP) $39 billion offer for Anglo American. The potential Glencore-Anglo merger could leverage closer asset proximity and marketing synergies, particularly in copper and coal sectors. Anglo American rejected BHP's offer, citing it as too low and unattractive due to conditions requiring divestitures of Anglo American Platinum Ltd. (OTC:ANGPY) and Kumba Iron Ore Ltd. (OTC:KIROY). A Glencore-Anglo merger might retain these assets, offering a strategic advantage.

The Biden administration's plan to block the Ambler Road project in Alaska, which would have provided access to a mining district for copper and other minerals exploration, has drawn criticism from the mining industry, state officials, and some native groups. The decision is seen as a conflict between environmental protection and the need for domestic mineral sources for renewable energy. Companies like Trilogy Metals Inc. (TMQ) and South32 (SOUHY), part of the Ambler Metals joint venture, and Valhalla Metals Inc (VMXXF) are directly affected, expressing disappointment and considering legal options. The decision also highlights divisions among native tribes and concerns about economic development and environmental impacts.

Norway's sovereign wealth fund is considering divesting its $2.15 billion stake in Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) due to concerns over deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. The fund, which is the world's largest at $1.6 trillion, has a history of ethical investing and previously divested from Rio Tinto in 2008 over environmental concerns. The Council On Ethics is in discussions with Rio Tinto but has not made a final decision. Glencore ADR (OTCPK: GLNCY) and South32 ADR (OTCPK: SOUHY) are also mentioned as related parties due to their stakes in Mineração Rio do Norte (MRN), a bauxite producer under scrutiny.
