The major averages advanced again this week as earnings results came in largely better than expected, interest rates stabilized and oil prices dropped below $80 a barrel. Looking ahead, we'll get a couple more earnings results and some key inflationary data to chew on. In this past week, we bought 150 shares of DuPont (DD) and added 75 shares of Wynn Resorts (WYNN).

Mining companies in the West are facing two overarching challenges in trying to produce enough metals to enable the energy transition, and at the same time build alternative supply chains to lessen their dependence on China. There is little doubt that Australia is a country well-placed to play a major role in supplying many of the metals vital to the energy transition. The previous models for developing mines appear no longer effective, and even if some projects do progress, they are nowhere near enough to provide enough material for the energy transition. Michael Willoughby, global head of metals, mining and transition materials at HSBC, told a forum at IMARC that there is capital available for mining, but it's located in developing countries such as China, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. What's not being talked about is how all the new mines, mineral processing and renewable energy equipment is going to be funded.

View shows Sigma Lithium Corp production at the Grota do Cirilo mine in Itinga, in Minas Gerais state, Brazil April 18, 2023. Sigma shares were down about 10% around midday in New York. Last week, Reuters reported that divorce proceedings between Sigma Chief Executive Ana Cabral-Gardner and Calvyn Gardner, her husband and former co-CEO, had triggered several lawsuits, including a dispute over some of the mineral rights where Sigma plans to build mining pits. At the time, Sigma told Reuters the dispute would not affect its expansion plans, as it said it can develop the area via a "waste sharing agreement." Gardner left his co-CEO role in January, and Sigma announced a new chief financial officer in August.

REUTERS/Washington Alves/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsRIO DE JANEIRO, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Sigma Lithium (SGML.V) Chief Operating Officer Brian Talbot left the company at the end of last month, he told Reuters on Thursday, in the latest management shakeup at the Vancouver-based miner. Last week, Reuters reported that divorce proceedings between current Sigma Chief Executive Ana Cabral-Gardner and Calvyn Gardner, her husband and former co-CEO, had triggered several lawsuits, including a dispute over some of the mineral rights where Sigma plans to build mining pits. At the time, Sigma told Reuters the dispute would not affect its expansion plans, as it said it can develop the area via a "waste sharing agreement."

View shows Sigma Lithium Corp SGML.V production at the Grota do Cirilo mine in Itinga, in Minas Gerais state, Brazil April 18, 2023. That transaction, Gardner's lawyers argued, would grant Sigma mineral rights to valuable lithium deposits and hurt RI-X's ability to develop its own mining project. At the time of the transfer, Gardner owned 49% of RI-X and Cabral-Gardner held 51%, documents show. Sigma shares, which had been up 4% in afternoon trading on Thursday, erased gains to close more than 2% lower after Reuters reported on the court injunction. Sigma declined to comment on the New York lawsuit, and said "the divorce proceedings are a private, personal matter and have no impact on how Sigma Lithium conducts business."

☆ Lithium miner Sigma jumps on report Tesla considering buyout

Feb 17 (Reuters) - U.S.-listed shares of Sigma Lithium Corp rose 21% in extended trading on Friday after Bloomberg News reported that Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) was weighing a takeover of the Canada-based battery metals miner. Tesla and Sigma Lithium did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. U.S. stock of Sigma Lithium, which has a market capitalization of $3.21 billion, nearly trebled in value last year. Tesla and other automakers routinely talk to mining companies of all sizes about potential supplies of lithium and other EV metals without necessarily signing contracts. Tesla also has supply contracts for nickel, lithium and a range of other EV metals from suppliers across the globe.
