BHP Group (ASX: BHP) pre‑open briefing for Monday, 17 Nov 2025: UK dam ruling fallout, China iron‑ore tensions, and overnight cues

At a glance: Late Friday, the High Court of England & Wales ruled that BHP can be held liable as a “polluter” under Brazilian environmental law and at fault under Brazil’s civil code for the Fundão dam collapse, which killed 19 people and polluted the Doce River system. The judgment relates to conduct before November 2015 and does not yet set damages; a second‑stage trial on quantum is due in 2026. BHP says it will appeal and continue to defend the UK group action. bhp.com+1

Freeport-McMoRan Stock Jumps on Earnings Beat – But Deadly Mine Disaster Clouds Outlook

Deep-Sea Gold Rush? The Metals Company Stock Rockets as Trump Targets Undersea Treasure

Deep-Sea Gold Rush? The Metals Company Stock Rockets as Trump Targets Undersea Treasure

Electric vehicles and green tech have sent demand for critical minerals surging. Cobalt, nickel, copper and others are essential for EV batteries and have been designated “critical” by agencies like USGS nasdaq.com iea.org. According to the IEA, demand for nickel and cobalt jumped 6–8% in 2024 due to energy applications iea.org. Deep-sea nodules contain these exact metals: “Minerals critical to the clean energy transition have been found in the deep ocean floor,” including cobalt, nickel, manganese and others used in EV batteries weforum.org. With many land-based mines concentrated in a few countries, governments are keen to secure new sources. Global initiatives reflect this tension. The UN’s International Seabed Authority is drafting mining rules, but many signatories have urged a pause until environmental impacts are studied ts2.tech weforum.org.
