Mining stocks are not Green and therefore unloved by the investment community which I'm thankful for as it gave a good buying in price leaving a company that is now throwing off lots of cash in the form of dividends.

The young yuppies seem to be going for the trend to buy water in 'Tin' cans as this is the in thing at the moment.

I put 'Tin' as I am not sure exactly what metal these containers are made of.

Slowly, slowly all this will begin to slowly make an impact.

[the grumpy old men] 21/9/2019 12:02

Roll on liquides at airports in tin cans

Running keep fitters not likely to make much impact
but certainly be ok for non carrying peoples who do not have to consider weight

Return to metal tubes for cosmetics and toothpastes etc etc
might also help the miners

take care

Coke and Pepsi make up 25% of all waste plastic in the world.

Over the past year I have noticed more and more keep fitters running along or at Fitness classes with metal drinking bottles rather than plastic.

Glass and ceramic bottles are heavier and breakable compares to metal bottles.

In 2 years, in UK airport passengers will be able to return to taking as much liquids as they like through security instead of having to buy huge amounts of water and other drinkables in plastic bottles airside.

Tins cans are made from metal.

LOL

Agree with your view on batteries

but metal bottles nah,perhaps tin cans

sometimes i get cans of beer,water and coca cola

Have yet to see wine cans but i must admit i have not been looking

Had you said a return to glass bottles, that i could accept or even ceramic bottles

Wine and champagne in cellar all in glass bottles

Have a small metal flask for my whiskey

have a great weekend

Use to see plastic bottles in peoples hands, now increasingly see metal bottles in their hands - good for mining companies.

Using less plastic = Using more metal.


More electrics cars = more Copper for their batteries - and BHP have been investing in copper miners.

SYDNEY--BHP Group Ltd. (BHP.AU) proposed changes to the way it pays Chief Executive Andrew Mackenzie that it said will lessen spikes in remuneration and better reward sustained good performance.

Under the new structure, which is expected to be voted on by investors at annual shareholder meetings in the U.K. and Australia later in 2019, BHP would cut Mr. Mackenzie's long-term incentive plan in relation to his base salary and introduce five-year deferred shares to his cash and deferred plan.

Those changes would reduce the maximum annual package of pay and bonuses by 12%, the world's biggest miner by market value said.

The existing long term incentive plan, or LTIP, "rewards volatility in performance rather than sustained outperformance, which is an aspiration for BHP," the miner said in its annual report.

Miners have come under increased scrutiny for plowing billions of dollars into mega projects or deals at the peak of cycles that years later sparked massive write downs as commodity markets cooled.

"There are material time lags between key long-dated decisions and their LTIP outcomes, leading to a discrepancy between participants who are the decision-makers, and those who eventually experience the positive or negative remuneration outcomes," the company said.

Other changes planned include a cut to Mr. Mackenzie's pension contribution rate and the introduction of a two-year post-retirement shareholding requirement.

Mr. Mackenzie earned US$3.5 million for fiscal 2019, down from US$4.7 million the year prior and below a target of US$7.7 million, said the company. The minimum available package was US$2.2 million and maximum was US$13.1 million.

His annual payout was weakened by a train derailment in western Australia late in 2018, where four locomotives and 268 loaded wagons ran loose for more than 50 miles without a driver before being forcibly derailed. BHP also faced operational problems at a number of mines and processing facilities, and the death of a worker at a coal mine in Queensland in December.

"From a performance perspective, while shareholders have benefited during fiscal 2019 from positive share price growth and significant shareholder returns, the year was a challenging one operationally for BHP, and the remuneration outcomes for fiscal 2019 for our senior executives reflect this," the company said.

BHP said Mr. Mackenzie's base salary will remain unchanged in fiscal 2020, at US$1.7 million. There will also be no change to annual fees for Chairman Ken MacKenzie or nonexecutive directors.

In 10 years Brazil could become the 4th largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia, USA and Russia.

Hopefully BHP will be there too.

Currency and commodities trades to be taxed under new Labour proposal
August Graham

The Labour Party today endorsed a proposal which would levy a £2.1bn a year tax on currency and commodity trading.

Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell said the party will adopt a plan proposed by the Progressive Economy Forum think tank.


It would expand the 0.5 per cent stamp duty on buying and selling shares to any transactions in foreign exchanges and commodities.

“This is the way that in future we can ensure that we have a finance sector which is vibrant, meaningful and contributes constructively, not just to our own economy, but to the global economy as well,” McDonnell said.

McDonnell called for a wider debate on introducing financial transaction taxes around the world.

“We have the opportunity to lead that global movement of reform,” he said, adding that the proposals are “unchallengeable.”

However, the move attracted criticism from City groups.

Miles Celic, the chief executive of the City UK, said the financial services industry accounts for 14 per cent of UK tax revenue, and said foreign financial centres are always trying to attract business and jobs away from London.

“A tax on financial transactions would be bad for business, bad for investors, bad for savers, and bad for the economy,” he said.

Labour said that the tax applies to those resident in the UK for tax purposes, rather than trades being made in London. So a US trader in New York trading through London would not have to pay the tax. While a Brit in London trading in Hong Kong would.



UK Finance said the tax would also hit savers, homeowners and small businesses.

“At a time of great uncertainty for business we would encourage policymakers to focus on proposals that would support the growth and competitiveness of the UK’s financial sector, helping the industry to grow and employ more people right across the UK,” said its chief executive Stephen Jones.
