Industrial Minerals

• In his acceptance speech, [Donald Trump] talked about US farmers being "harassed by the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency]" and mentioned timber workers and coal workers, who will now have "relief coming".

  Previous statements by Trump indicating he would "rip up" the Paris Climate Change agreement - which he has said is set to "give foreign bureaucrats control over (...) our energy and how much we use" have made investors in the sector skittish.

  In terms of the US mining industry more broadly, [Chris Berry] said the Trump presidency may be beneficial. Adding the caveat that "it's still too early to tell", Berry said: "It looks as though Trump will be a friend to the extraction industry in the US."
