Canadian company suspends operations after African mine death
The decision followed a fatal accident at a pit in Zambia, First Quantum Minerals has reported Canadian firm First Quantum Minerals has temporarily suspended operations at one of its Trident mines in Zambia following the death of an employee in a dump truck accident. The incident occurred at a pit at the Sentinel copper mine, located 150km west of Solwezi in the northwestern province of the southern African country, the mining company said in a statement on Monday. The "operations in the area of the accident have been temporarily suspended and will resume once it is determined that it can be done in a safe manner," it stated. The company said it had notified local authorities about the "tragic loss" and that an internal investigation is currently underway. First Quantum is a major player in Zambia's copper-rich northwestern province, where it operates two major mines - the Kansanshi mine and the Sentinel mine, as part of its larger Trident project. Its operations, have, however, been marred by several fatal accidents in recent years, including a 2023 dump truck collision at Sentinel and multiple contractor deaths at Kansanshi. Last September, the Toronto-based miner reported that a collision between a tracked dozer and a light vehicle had killed one of its employees. In November the previous year, two contractors at its Zambian operations died in separate incidents. READ MORE: African state strips French nuclear giant of uranium mine The latest incident comes at a time when countries in Africa have revoked the licenses of major Western mining firms over a series of grievances, including alleged unpaid taxes. Last Thursday, Niger's military government announced plans to nationalize Somair uranium, a local venture operated by the French state-owned nuclear company Orano since 1971, amid an escalating dispute between the miners and the West African nation. Governments in neighboring Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Mali have also moved to review mining contracts in recent months, seeking to boost revenue from their extractive industries. Earlier last Monday, Mali temporarilystrippedCanadian firm Barrick of control over the country's largest gold mining operations, citing alleged unpaid taxes and royalties. In 2023, First Quantum lost control of its flagship Panama copper mine after the country's Supreme Court nullified its contract and the maritime authority blocked export permits. (

Canada signs new partnership with Europe to deepen security, trade ties
Canada and the European Union opened a new era of transatlantic co-operation Monday with the official signing of a security and defence partnership at a joint summit in Brussels. The agreement commits Canada and Europe to collaboration on defence and is a step toward Canada participating in the continent's massive new defence procurement program, known as ReArm Europe. Prime Minister Mark Carney, who travelled to Brussels for the Canada-EU Summit, is pursuing more options for defence procurement as Canada seeks to reduce its reliance on the United States. Carney met with European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the summit, before the final deal was signed. Costa said Canada and the EU are 'looking at the world through the same lens' and this meeting has taken the partnership to a new level. Story continues below advertisement 8:04 Carney heads to Europe to talk defence amid rising geopolitical tensions Von der Leyen told Carney he was 'here among friends.' She said Canada and the EU are two strong democracies bound by historic ties and connected by a 'dynamic, fair and open' trade partnership.

She said the agreement is the 'most comprehensive' ever completed. 'We know we can count on you and you can count on us,' she said. Carney said the leaders are putting into practice some of what they discussed at the G7 and have been working on for years. Carney said the deal is crucial for Canada and 'shows a way forward.' Under the terms of the agreement, Canada and the EU will hold an annual 'security and defence dialogue' involving top officials. Story continues below advertisement The agreement also commits both partners to expanding co-operation in support of Ukraine, improving Canadian military mobility in Europe and enhancing maritime co-operation in regions of 'mutual interest' like the Indo-Pacific. Canada will need to sign a second agreement with the European Commission before it can take part in the 150-billion-euro ReArm Europe initiative. The security and defence agreement also pledges further collaboration on emerging issues in cybersecurity, foreign interference, disinformation and outer space policy. 1:24 'All allies agree' on new NATO defence spending target, Secretary-General says Carney also met with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever ahead of the Canada-EU Summit. De Wever said that Canada's partnership with the EU is vital now because 'we've woken up in a world that doesn't look that friendly anymore.' A government official briefing reporters on the trip said the partnership is expected to make procurement easier and more affordable, while also allowing Canada to diversify its sources of equipment. Story continues below advertisement On Tuesday, Carney travels to The Hague for the NATO summit, where member nations will decide whether to fully endorse a substantial increase in the defence spending target, from two per cent of GDP to five per cent. Carney said earlier this month Canada would increase its defence spending this year to meet the two per cent target for the first time since it was established in 2014.
