Carnegie funding for the new concert hall announced
A grant of $1 million has been awarded to the new concert hall to be constructed behind The Royal Bank of Scotland building at 36 St Andrew Square from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The philanthropic body has offered the funds towards the 'design and programming of the Dunard Centre Concert Hall'. The concert hall will be the first purpose built facility of its kind for more than a century, and construction of the David Chipperfield design is expected to begin later this year. The Carnegie foundation is led by Dame Louise Richardson, former vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford and former principal and vice-chancellor of the University of St Andrews. The organisation was established by the Scottish industrialist Andrew Carnegie in 1911, to manage the bulk of his philanthropic giving. Between 2023 and 2024, it awarded grants totalling $174 million and it is backed by an endowment valued at around $4.5 billion. The funding boost comes as the Dunard Centre reveals the findings of new economic and social impact assessments. The Centre's operations are projected to generate £169.4 million in gross value added (GVA) over its first 20 years, supporting nearly 300 jobs in the process. Based on an estimated 200,000 visitors annually, the hall is projected to increase tourism spending in Edinburgh and the surrounding region by £8.6m a year. The Dunard Centre may be renamed as philanthropist Carol Grigor who is behind the Dunard Fund has stated that the name will not continue. Ms Grigor has provided £35 million towards the building. The Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal allocated £35 million to the project and public donations of around £80 million (which includes Ms Grigor's donation) will pay for the state of the art hall. Jo Buckley, chief executive of the Dunard Centre, said: 'We are hugely grateful for this grant, which recognises both the global significance of the Dunard Centre and the role it will play in enriching the lives of local people, by giving them greater access to the arts. The money will help us develop and advance our engagement strategy, which is a vital element of our mission to create a 'Hall for All' here in Edinburgh. 'With a focus on supporting civic participation and socioeconomic mobility, we intend to build trusted relationships, design thoughtful creative engagement programmes, and establish the team that will bring this work to life when we open our doors in 2029. 'We look forward to the opportunity of exploring and sharing the parallels between the transformational philanthropy of Andrew Carnegie – and the mark this left upon the world –and the various ways civic society benefits from the provision of outstanding performance and lifelong engagement with music.' Located in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, the Dunard Centre will serve as the permanent home of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and a new venue for the Edinburgh International Festival. The Dunard Centre will open up a city centre site, previously closed to the public, into a new piece of public realm, creating a vibrant and inclusive creative hub. This central site has been strategically selected to maximise accessibility and connectivity. Situated within walking distance of Waverley Station and multiple tram and bus routes, the venue is ideally positioned to serve both local audiences and visitors from across Scotland and beyond. Its proximity to restaurants, hotels, and cultural landmarks further enhances its role as a key driver of economic and cultural activity in the city. CEO Jo Buckley Like this: Like Related

Aguia locks in $4M loan to kick-start Brazilian phosphate production
Aguia Resources has locked in a $4 million loan from the government-owned Southern Development Bank in Brazil to refurbish the company's recently leased processing plant and kick-start mining operations at its Tres Estradas phosphate project. The 20-year loan covers the initial $118,000 capital expenditure required to kick off mining activities and fund an estimated $1.97M needed to bring the plant up to speed to process an expected 100,000 tonnes of phosphate annually. The company is eyeing processing operations beginning in January next year on its organic phosphate product, dubbed Pampafos. Recent field trials showed Pampafos rivals the performance of top-shelf imported fertilisers at a fraction of their price. Aguia recently leased its plant in Caçapava do Sul from century-old agricultural limestone firm Dagoberto Barcellos SAS. The decision to lease a suitable facility may turn out to be a masterstroke, as it avoids the need for a capital raise for a new plant and its considerable associated shareholder dilution. Aguia secured a 10-year lease on the fully operational Dagoberto Barcelos processing plant for what appears to be a modest $43,000 monthly fee and a one-off payment of $1.36M. After a $1.97M refurb and small capital expenditure outlay at the mine site, local mine services firm Contrasaper will then be positioned to supercharge mining activities at the project. Contrasaper's imprimatur is to undertake contract mining at the project and transport the phosphate to feed the processing facility at Caçapava do Sul, one of the oldest municipalities in the state of Rio Grande Do Sul. Grigor said the outcome was significantly better, in time and money, than spending $30M on a new production facility for the same production capacity. After leasing the processing facility, Aguia kicked off discussions with the Southern Development Bank to secure sufficient funds to bring the impressive project to life. The loan facility will be secured against the surface rights held by Aguia at Tres Estradas and has a credit limit of R$15M (A$4M) with a 20-year term, including a three-year grace period. The interest rate is based on the Brazilian SELIC, the benchmark rate set by the Brazilian Central bank, currently 14.75 per cent, plus an additional 4.75 per cent margin from the Southern Development Bank. Aguia is looking to upscale its plant to churn out a minimum 300,000t per annum by the end of 2026 and wants the funding facility to play a role in supporting the upgrade. The company has been running tests with remarkable success on its 12 per cent high-grade phosphorus pentoxide Pampafos product since 2019 at its Rio Grande do Sul-based operation. It recently revealed the results of a two-year independent field trial on its standard 6 per cent grade Lavratto product. The company says the findings could transform Brazil's phosphate-hungry agricultural heartland. Conducted by renowned agronomist Dr Felipe de Campos Carmona, at the Integrar/Agrinova Technological Centre, the trial spanned both winter and summer crop cycles. Phosphate was applied to ryegrass and oats in winter, followed by soybeans and corn in the summer. Aguia's locally produced phosphorus was pitted head-to-head with the likes of imported 32 per cent grade Moroccan phosphate, triple superphosphate and super-high-grade 48 per cent monoammonium phosphate (MAP). The trials showed the company's products match or outperform the yield outcomes of the established fertilisers, with Aguia's Lavratto 6 per cent product topping the yield tables when applied at 200 kilograms per hectare (kg/ha), outstripping even expensive MAP fertilisers. The trend appeared across soybean-ryegrass and oat-corn crops. Ryegrass responded particularly well to Pampafos at a higher 200kg/ha application, punching in dry yields above 8 tonnes per hectare. This is comparable to Morocco's phosphate and MAP, despite being a significantly lower-grade product. The real game-changer could be in the cost to farmers. The company says Pampafos will be marketed locally for a retail price of just $200–230 per tonne compared to more than $1000 for MAP - a massive price advantage, even before factoring in freight costs. Phosphate feedstock will initially come from the Pampafos deposit, about 100km from the plant. However, drilling is already hammering away at its Mato Grande and Passo Feio prospects, which are much closer to the processing facility. This should trigger a reduction in haulage costs and ramp up profit margins further. While the Tres Estradas project seems set to become a meaningful addition to Aguia's stable, the company's eye remains firmly on its flagship Santa Barbara gold project in Colombia. Yesterday it revealed early-stage results hinting at the potential discovery of a high-grade gold system lurking 40 metres beneath the existing mine. It plunged in the first two holes of a 25-hole campaign and has already struck mineralised quartz veins and key fault structures. Importantly, the hits appear to confirm its geological model and point to a potentially much bigger gold system. Aguia says when drilling the first hole to a depth of 107.4m, it encountered a 0.7m thick quartz vein containing known gold pathfinders. The deeper intersection appears to be an extension of a shallow vein, which was partially mined in a trial operation that processed 500t at an average 20 grams per tonne (g/t) gold. The second hole, still being drilled to reach 138.6m depth, struck the same near-surface veining and is showing a similar mineralised system beyond the fault. The two drill holes have combined for nearly 300m of drilling so far. The company released an internal study in April estimating an eye-popping exploration target of two to four million tonnes of material grading up to 30g/t gold. Its small processing plant has had a facelift and is now turning over 30t per day of ore, with a leap to 50tpd expected by July when a new primary crusher comes online. With the Brazilian phosphate project slated to kick into production early next year, along with Colombian gold being produced from trial mining and an expected ramp up in production to come, Aguia may soon pack a heavy-handed one-two punch.
