Atico Mining secured a 30-year concession for Colombia’s El Roble copper-gold mine, stabilizing operations until 2055 and releasing $10M worth of pledged copper concentrate for immediate liquidity. The deal resolves a $12M arbitration liability, with $3M paid and $10.7M deferred to 2025–2026, aligned with projected cash flows. It transitions regulatory terms to modern mining codes but adds community development and state compensation costs. CEO Ganoza emphasized the concession’s role in shifting focus to growth and exploration. Risks include copper price volatility and inflation-adjusted settlement increases. The mine remains central to Atico’s revenue amid Colombia’s evolving mining policies.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has initiated a $2 billion refinancing through euro and dollar-denominated bonds via Dutch subsidiaries to restructure $2 billion in debt maturing between 2026-2031 (including high-coupon sustainability-linked notes). Leveraging current favorable market conditions, the move extends maturities, lowers interest costs, and maintains the parent company’s unconditional guarantees to ensure investor confidence. While introducing modest structural complexity, the strategy aligns with industry-wide debt optimization practices, mirroring recent Big Pharma restructurings.
