Companies in the news:
First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (TSX:FM). Up 20 cents, or 0.67 per cent, to $29.99. First Quantum Minerals Ltd. said it has reached an agreement to settle its dispute with the government of Panama over profit-sharing at the Canadian miner's Cobre Panama mine. Under the finalized draft concession agreement, the company will make a payment of US$375 million plus an additional US$20 million to cover taxes and royalties up to the end of 2022. Starting in 2023, the deal provides for a minimum of US$375 million a year in government income, including corporate taxes, withholding taxes and a profit-based mineral royalty of 12 to 16 per cent, with downside protections. The company also said the Panama Maritime Authority will issue a resolution that will allow concentrate loading operations to resume at the port for the mine.
TC Energy Corp. (TSX:TRP). Down two cents, or 0.04 per cent, to $55.88. A U.S. regulator has ordered TC Energy Corp. to lower the operating pressure on the entire Keystone pipeline system. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued the ruling Tuesday as a result of its ongoing investigation into a Dec. 7 leak that saw around 13,000 barrels of oil spill into a creek in Washington County, Kan. The order essentially revokes TC Energy's special permit, dating back to 2007, which allowed the company to operate certain portions of the pipeline at a higher stress level than would normally be allowed under U.S. regulations.
