Description

Mining Quarterly Review - Q2 2025

Summary

GlobalData's Mining Quarterly Review - Q2 2025 provides a comprehensive coverage on the global mining industry. It provides commodity trends covering price trends, production, capital expenditure of leading miners, development projects momentum, development projects by commodity, country, company and stage. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the global mining industry. It further provides updates on regulatory, technology-related, and ESG-related, developments in mining for Q2 2025.

Global coal production in the first half of 2025 was largely stable with strong growth, driven by strategic acquisitions, improved mine performance, and resilient demand, particularly from thermal power generation. Glencore led the gains boosted by its July 2024 acquisition of Elk Valley Resources (EVR), and a strong Q2 performance at its Australian and Canadian operations. Peabody Energy also delivered a notable 9.3% growth on the back of robust US thermal coal demand. In contrast, China Shenhua Energy saw output decline 1.7%, and PT Bumi Resources posted the sharpest fall of 7.3%, with both companies citing adverse weather as a major constraint on operations and logistics.

Most of the iron ore mining companies also registered strong growth in H1 2025. Mineral Resources posted a strong growth rate, owing to the successful ramp-up of the Onslow Iron project. Meanwhile, ArcelorMittal achieved 19.8% growth, benefiting from improved operational performance in Liberia and the company’s integrated Canadian assets, underscoring its geographic diversification strategy. In contrast, Vale (-0.1%), Mitsui & Co (-1.0%), and Rio Tinto (-1.8%) experienced slight declines due to heavy rainfall in Brazil, licensing restrictions, and cyclone-related logistics constraints in Australia.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
