Trump Team Outlines Push for Rare Earths in Meeting With Executives

(Bloomberg) — The White House met last week with top technology and recycling companies to discuss ways to quickly ramp up production of permanent magnets using rare earth elements, which have emerged as a key point of leverage in the trade war with China. The World's Data Center Capital Has Residents Surrounded An Abandoned Art-Deco Landmark in Buffalo Awaits Revival We Should All Be Biking Along the Beach Budapest's Most Historic Site Gets a Controversial Rebuild San Francisco in Talks With Vanderbilt for Downtown Campus Trade adviser Peter Navarro convened the meeting and told the executives that the administration is planning a major push to boost US production of the minerals, using incentives including guarantees of minimum prices to producers, according to people familiar with the event who asked not to be identified discussing a matter that isn't public. The administration has been racing to come up with alternative sources for rare earth magnets after China — which controls global production — imposed export controls in retaliation for US tariff threats. The magnets are used in products from home appliances and cars to missiles and the shutoff left companies warning they'd have to suspend production. China agreed to resume shipments after the US agreed not to impose the higher import levies. A White House official confirmed the meeting took place but didn't provide details on what was discussed. Earlier this month, the Department of Defense announced a $400 million equity stake in MP Materials Corp., the only US rare-earth producer, that includes government-guaranteed minimum prices and purchases from the company. 'The MP rare earths deal is an essential part of an overall strategy to onshore critical minerals of which rare earths is just one part,' Navarro said in a statement released Thursday by the White House. 'Our goal is to build out our supply chains from mines to end use products across the entire critical mineral spectrum, and the companies assembled at the meeting have the potential to play important roles in this effort.' Some participants in the meeting with Navarro expressed concern that the MP deal may prevent the emergence of vibrant competitors in the sector. At the meeting, Navarro told participants the administration is committed to creating a commercially viable environment to incubate the industry, including protective tariffs and price floors. Participants said they came away from the session with the impression the administration is alarmed about the vulnerability that the lack of alternatives to Chinese supplies presents. The officials discussed the technical details of recycling of the magnets, which could bring production online faster than mine projects currently in the works. Among the issues discussed was the possibility of banning the export of electronic waste to keep material for recycling in the US, the people said. Currently, most of the reprocessing needed to extract the magnets is done in China. —With assistance from Jennifer A. Dlouhy and Josh Wingrove.

Ero Copper Reports Second Quarter 2025 Operating and Financial Results

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ero Copper Corp. (TSX: ERO, NYSE: ERO) ('Ero' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce its operating and financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Management will host a conference call tomorrow, Friday, August 1, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. Eastern time to discuss the results. Dial-in details for the call can be found near the end of this press release. HIGHLIGHTS 'We made meaningful progress towards the achievement of our 2025 strategy during the second quarter,' said Makko DeFilippo, President and Chief Executive Officer. 'Highlights included the continued ramp-up and declaration of commercial production at Tucumã, the initiation of debt repayment, and the early completion of Phase 1 drilling at Furnas ahead of schedule. Operational performance across all of our assets improved in Q2 with record consolidated copper production, and we are encouraged by the momentum we are carrying into the second half of the year, driven by optimization and technology initiatives we executed in H1 2025. 'At Caraíba, focusing the mining fleet in the upper levels of the Pilar Mine paired with several ongoing operational excellence initiatives is proving to be a successful strategy. Our focus on technology, utilization and availability has resulted in improved overall fleet management and productivity, operational flexibility and a significant reduction in unplanned infrastructure downtime. At Surubim, scheduled pit sequencing led to higher mined tonnage, a trend we expect to continue in in the second half of the year. At Xavantina, our investments in mine mechanization, ventilation and technology support what we see as a step-change in mining rates, allowing production to return to annualized rates consistent with our longer-term outlook for the operation. And at Furnas, we remain focused on unlocking long-term value as we advance Phase 2 drilling with eight rigs active on site and remain on track to complete the program by year-end.' SECOND QUARTER REVIEW The Caraíba Operations The Tucumã Operation The Xavantina Operations (*) These are non-IFRS measures and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Please refer to the Company's discussion of Non-IFRS measures in its Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and the Reconciliation of Non- IFRS Measures section at the end of this press release. (1) EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to owners of the Company, adjusted net income (loss) per share attributable to owners of the Company, net (cash) debt, working capital, copper C1 cash cost, copper C1 cash cost including foreign exchange hedges, gold C1 cash cost and gold AISC are non-IFRS measures.

Please refer to the Company's discussion of Non-IFRS measures in its Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and the Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures section at the end of this press release. (2) Copper C1 cash cost including foreign exchange hedges was $2.06 in Q2 2025 (Q2 2024 - $2.16). 2025 PRODUCTION AND COST GUIDANCE Consolidated copper production guidance for 2025 has been updated to 67,500 to 80,000 tonnes to reflect the slower-than-expected ramp up at the Tucumã Operation, which achieved commercial production on July 1, 2025. Consolidated copper production is expected to increase sequentially in H2 2025 driven by higher mill throughput at the Tucumã Operation and higher mined and processed volumes at the Caraíba Operations, particularly at Pilar and Surubim. At the Xavantina Operations, gold production guidance has been updated to 40,000 to 50,000 ounces to reflect lower-than-expected production in H1 2025. The Company expects investments in mine modernization and mechanization to support sequential increases in mined and processed volumes through the remainder of the year. Note: Guidance is based on estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, mineral reserve estimates, grade and continuity of interpreted geological formations and metallurgical recovery performance. Please refer to the Company's SEDAR+ and EDGAR filings, including the most recent Annual Information Form ('AIF'), for a detailed summary of risk factors. (1) Please refer to the section titled 'Alternative Performance (Non-IFRS) Measures' within the MD&A. 2025 CAPITAL EXPENDITURE GUIDANCE Capital expenditure guidance remains unchanged at a range of $230 to $270 million, excluding capitalized ramp-up costs prior to the declaration of commercial production at the Tucumã Operation. Figures presented in the table below are in USD millions. Note: Guidance is based on certain estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to, mineral reserve estimates, grade and continuity of interpreted geological formations and metallurgical performance. Please refer to the Company's most recent Annual Information Form and Management of Risks and Uncertainties in the MD&A for complete risk factors. (1) Excludes capitalized ramp-up costs prior to the declaration of commercial production at the Tucumã Operation.

CAUTIONARY NOTES REGARDING MINERAL RESOURCE AND MINERAL RESERVE ESTIMATES Unless otherwise indicated, all reserve and resource estimates included in this press release and the documents incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ('NI 43-101') and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the 'CIM') — CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the 'CIM Standards'). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'), and reserve and resource information included herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this press release and the documents incorporated by reference herein use the terms 'measured resources,' 'indicated resources' and 'inferred resources' as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards. Further to recent amendments, mineral property disclosure requirements in the United States (the 'U.S. Rules') are governed by subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'U.S. Securities Act') which differ from the CIM Standards. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system (the 'MJDS'), Ero is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the U.S. Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards. If Ero ceases to be a foreign private issuer or loses its eligibility to file its annual report on Form 40-F pursuant to the MJDS, then Ero will be subject to the U.S. Rules, which differ from the requirements of NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards. Pursuant to the new U.S. Rules, the SEC recognizes estimates of 'measured mineral resources', 'indicated mineral resources' and 'inferred mineral resources'. In addition, the definitions of 'proven mineral reserves' and 'probable mineral reserves' under the U.S. Rules are now 'substantially similar' to the corresponding standards under NI 43-101. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that Ero reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, 'inferred mineral resources' have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of 'inferred mineral resources' may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. While the above terms under the U.S. Rules are 'substantially similar' to the standards under NI 43-101 and CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the U.S. Rules and CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that Ero may report as 'proven mineral reserves', 'probable mineral reserves', 'measured mineral resources', 'indicated mineral resources' and 'inferred mineral resources' under NI 43-101 would be the same had Ero prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the U.S. Rules.
