Core Viewpoint - The legal battle between coal miner Simon Turner and BHP highlights significant disparities in resources, with Turner lacking legal representation and facing challenges in accessing court documents related to his wage theft allegations against BHP, which involve claims of over $2 billion in wage theft. Group 1: Legal Proceedings - Simon Turner is engaged in a court case against BHP, which has accused him of making "wild allegations" without specifying what those allegations are [1][4]. - The court proceedings have been heavily influenced by BHP's successful confidentiality orders, which suppress Turner's evidence [2]. - Turner faces financial barriers in accessing public court transcripts, which cost $1,952.53, making it difficult for him to obtain information about his own case [3][10]. Group 2: Allegations and Accusations - BHP's legal representatives, Minter Ellison, have claimed that Turner's allegations are "wild," but have not disclosed the specifics of these claims [5][6]. - There is a historical context where BHP and Chandler Macleod previously identified Ready Work Force as Turner's employer, but they have since shifted their stance, arguing that the enforceability of a deed is more important than the identity of the employer [13][15]. - A previous court ruling in 2017 established that Chandler Macleod was Turner's employer, contradicting BHP's current claims [14]. Group 3: Financial Implications - The costs associated with accessing court documents are seen as prohibitive not only for Turner but also for journalists and the public, raising concerns about transparency in the legal process [3][12]. - VIQ Solutions Australia, a foreign venture capital company, stands to profit from the fees charged for accessing public court information, highlighting potential issues within the justice system [11].

Core Viewpoint - Copper is becoming a critical resource for mining companies, especially in the fields of artificial intelligence, power grids, and renewable energy, leading to increased competition among major mining firms for strategic positioning in copper production [1]. Group 1: Major Mining Companies' Performance - BHP, the world's largest copper mining company, reported a copper production of 2.014 million tons in 2025, a year-on-year increase of approximately 2.9%. The company has raised its copper production guidance for the 2026 fiscal year to a range of 1.9 million to 2 million tons [2]. - Vale achieved a copper production of 382,400 tons in 2025, marking a 9.8% year-on-year increase, the highest level since 2018. The fourth quarter of 2025 saw a production of 108,100 tons, a 6% increase, attributed to strong performance from its Salobo and Sossego operations [5][6]. - Rio Tinto's copper production reached 883,000 tons in 2025, an 11% increase year-on-year, exceeding its guidance of 860,000 to 875,000 tons [7]. Group 2: Strategic Investments and Future Plans - BHP is making a strategic investment in the Vicuña project in Argentina, with plans to invest up to $800 million in two significant copper mining projects, which are expected to be among the most important copper development projects in history [5]. - Vale aims to become a copper producer with an annual output of 1 million tons, with plans to double its copper production to around 700,000 tons by 2035 [7]. - Fortescue is actively pursuing copper production, having signed a binding agreement to acquire a 64% stake in Alta Copper, which aligns with its strategic focus on key minerals [8]. Group 3: Market Trends and Price Projections - Since 2025, copper prices have shown a strong upward trend, with the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper price surpassing $14,500 per ton, reaching a historical high [9]. - Goldman Sachs predicts that copper prices will stabilize in 2026, with an average price of $11,400 per ton, while also noting a potential decrease in inventory levels outside the U.S. by approximately 450,000 tons [9]. - S&P forecasts that global copper demand will increase by 50% from 28 million tons at the end of 2025 to 42 million tons by 2040, while supply is expected to lag, potentially leading to a 10 million ton shortfall by 2040 [10].

Core Viewpoint - The Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF (BATT) has outperformed other ETFs in the lithium and battery sector, driven by a diversified approach that captures broader industrial trends and demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS) [1] Performance Comparison - As of February 13, 2026, BATT has increased by 14.5% year-to-date, outperforming the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (LIT) which is up 10.94%, and other mining-focused ETFs like iShares Lithium Miners and Producers ETF (ILIT) at 9.7%, Sprott Lithium Miners ETF (LITP) at 4.65%, and Themes Lithium & Battery Metal Miners ETF (LIMI) at 3.77% [1] Reasons for BATT's Outperformance - BATT's total ecosystem approach includes exposure across the battery value chain, from diversified miners to cell manufacturers and grid storage leaders, unlike LIT which is heavily concentrated in lithium mining and refining [1] - Significant weights in copper and nickel have contributed to BATT's performance, with copper prices reaching new highs due to AI-driven grid modernization [1] - The launch of Project Vault, a $12 billion U.S. strategic mineral reserve, has provided a valuation floor for the sector, acting as a buyer of last resort for battery metals [1] - The demand for BESS has surged, driven by the growth of AI data centers, with companies in BATT's portfolio reporting record shipments for stationary storage [1] Key Holdings Contributing to BATT's Performance - BHP Group Ltd. (BHP) - 7.62% weight, benefiting from rising nickel prices and steady copper demand [1] - Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) - 5.71% weight, dominating the lithium iron phosphate market for utility-scale storage [1] - Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) - 5.24% weight, a primary copper producer benefiting from AI-driven grid upgrades [1] - Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) - 4.77% weight, with its Megapack business contributing significantly to margins [1] - BYD Co. Ltd. (BYD) - 4.17% weight, maintaining high margins through vertical integration [1] Key Themes to Watch - The stationary storage market is emerging as a major performance driver, with a shift towards grid-scale batteries providing a growth narrative alongside the competitive EV market [1] - Diversified mining is proving to be a safer investment compared to pure-play lithium, allowing BATT to achieve double-digit gains amid lithium price volatility [1] - The impact of U.S. industrial policy, particularly Project Vault and tax rebate adjustments in China, is front-loading global demand and intensifying the battery arms race [1]
