Discussions between Rio Tinto and Glencore have reached a level that could exceed billion dollars. The potential agreement between these two global mining giants signals a seismic shift in the industrial metal and energy markets. The proposed transaction appears to be designed to enhance competitiveness and reduce costs by merging the operations of both companies. Especially when it comes to strategic raw materials such as copper, zinc, and coal, such consolidations could significantly impact the global supply chain. Considering the energy-intensive nature of crypto mining, these major moves in the mining sector could indirectly affect the production costs and sustainability of blockchain networks.
