Company by company
| Company | Tone | Stories | What the coverage was about |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anglo American | +5.5 | 16 | Coverage was dominated by Botswana agreeing to double its De Beers stake, which eases Anglo American's exit from diamonds. |
| Rio Tinto | +5.5 | 12 | Coverage mostly centred on Rio Tinto's approval of fresh funding for the Resolution Copper project and its copper growth and China cooperation. |
| Antofagasta | +0.3 | 3 | Coverage was mixed: the shares rose and outperformed the market, but a report said the company's molybdenum output remains under pressure. |
| Endeavour Mining | +4.5 | 2 | Coverage was mainly about Endeavour Mining's shares rising and outperforming the market on the day. |
| Fresnillo | +6.3 | 1 | The only story focused on Fresnillo was about its reported interest in a major Mexican silver mine, which reads as a positive growth prospect, though the piece also questions whether the shares are cheap. |
| Glencore | +3.3 | 1 | The only relevant coverage concerned Yancoal Australia's renewed sales arrangement with Glencore, which reads mildly positively for the miner. |
