Court records show Christopher Granja was booked Wednesday on a count of vehicular homicide as well as driving without a license causing death
The probable cause affidavit against Granja
notes he admitted to driving the blue Hyundai Sonata shortly after midnight on Monday
when the car slammed into a light pole just north of Presidential Golfview Condominiums
The impact of the collision toppled the light pole and a 25-foot portion of it came down on the backseat of the sedan
Granja and the person in the front seat were suffered minor injuries in the wreck
he claimed to be going between 40 and 50 mph at the time they approached the entrance to the condominiums
Granja is reported to have said he saw a truck leaving the complex and swerved to avoid it when he lost control
He said that he closed his eyes and missed the truck before losing control of the car
revealed the estimated deceleration before the crash and the force of the impact indicated Granja’s car was likely going around 80 mph right before the wreck
which is double the speed limit in that area
Investigators stated they could find no evidence that supported Granja’s claim about a black truck being in the area right before the crash
Granja also admitted he did not have a license
WPBPD noted that the Sonata had belonged to Robertson’s grandmother
Granja was given the keys because he was the better driver
both Granja and the person in the passenger seat told investigators

Canadian miner First Quantum Minerals expects updated drilling results for its Peru copper project La Granja in the second half of next year
project development manager Steven Lewis said on Thursday
and we expect to have the results in the second half of next year,” Lewis said on the sidelines of a mining industry conference
About the feasibility studies slated for completion by 2028
he said: “We’re working to meet this deadline.”
First Quantum last year purchased a 55% stake in the project
and at the time of the acquisition committed to investing up to $546 million for its development
The project overall is estimated to amount to $2.4 billion investment
According to data from Peru’s mining ministry
the site has the potential to produce 500,000 metric tons of copper a year
In addition to completing drilling and feasibility studies
First Quantum will also face challenges related to local communities
“La Granja has the potential to be a larger project
but the ultimate focus will depend on several challenges,” Lewis said in a presentation at the mining event
First Quantum took a major blow last year after the Panama government ordered the shutdown of the Cobre Panama mine
which contributed to 40% of the miner’s revenue
due to public protests over environmental issues

Sixty-eight Honduran shrimp farmers from Grupo Granjas Marinas (GGM) have recently completed a training course
as part of an initiative to improve the welfare of shrimp sold in UK supermarket M&S
The training was conducted by FAI, as part of their shrimp welfare project
which was born out of a collaboration with several industry partners
scientists and shrimp farms aiming to help farmers monitor and implement welfare improvements
For GGM, it is one of the continuous improvement activities undertaken within its partnership with global aquaculture company Sea Farms and leading UK retailer M&S to secure a better quality of life for shrimp
Operating in more than 5,000 hectares and harvesting 18,000 tonnes of vannamei shrimp annually
GGM controls all aspects of its shrimp production in a fully integrated system
Those attending the training represented all parts of the production cycle from farm managers to the feeding and harvesting teams
health and quality assurance staff and wider field workers
reflected on the workshop: “The GGM team has strong knowledge of shrimp farming and shrimp needs
The workshop gave the team confidence they are taking good care of their shrimp and provided the tools to record and report the outcomes of their good practice.”
added: “The consumer does not necessarily understand what high welfare shrimp farming looks like
but FAI’s assessment process and scoring system helps decode our farming data into understandable measures indicating successful production from an animal welfare perspective.”
stating: “We are delighted to have implemented a standardised approach to assessing welfare
This system helps the farm team identify where changes are needed and provides the right information to the rest of the supply chain
so the final consumer is assured of the ethical responsibility behind the product they are buying as well as the quality.”

The failures of Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank in 2023 caused plenty of finger-pointing at bank regulators
Many US financial institutions including SVB and First Republic were covering large portions of their liabilities with assets such as government bonds that stood to lose value if interest rates rose significantly—which is exactly what happened
As the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates
rumors swirled that the two banks might not have sufficient assets to cover all their deposits
Indiana University’s Yadav Gopalan and Chicago Booth’s João Granja find through some rough calculations that had regulators acted two quarters earlier
they would have averted $9 billion in losses
the researchers also say their analysis of the events reveals a more complicated picture than examiners being oblivious to systemic risks—plus it’s particularly hard to assess regulators’ performance given how necessarily secretive their work is
“Regulators may receive the blame for some very public failures but no glory for the bank failures that they prevented from happening,” write Granja and Gopalan
the two researchers matched information maintained by banking regulators with publicly available data about banks’ financial conditions
show the risk scores supervisors assigned to the banks
while the publicly available data include factors such as interest-rate risk exposure
US bank regulators assess six categories and issue what’s known as a CAMELS rating
regulators most frequently downgraded the “Liquidity” and “Sensitivity to market risk” components of CAMELS
This suggests that they understood the increased risks associated with higher interest rates
The onset of interest-rate hikes in early 2022 served as a natural laboratory for assessing how bank examiners managed a credit shock
the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates
triggered a shock to the value of equity of banks with significant maturity mismatches and unstable deposits,” write the researchers
regulators issue what’s known as a CAMELS rating
The acronym refers to the six categories that are assessed: capital adequacy
regulators adjusted the ratings they issued to the most-exposed banks
downgrading two of the six risk factors the most: liquidity and sensitivity to risk
A rate shock naturally draws more attention to these components than the others
so the downgrades suggest that supervisors “understood the consequences” of interest-rate risk
Examiners were less likely to downgrade banks that had derivative contracts that protected them against rate movements
another indication that they understood the emerging risks
examiners were more likely to downgrade banks with larger unrealized losses in AFS securities
but only began to significantly downgrade banks with HTM portfolio losses during the first quarter of 2023
“This inaction of supervisors may be surprising,” Gopalan and Granja write
it also may confirm supervisors’ own admissions in the wake of the fallout of SVB that current supervisory models don’t go far enough to capture the additional liquidity risks associated with an unstable deposit base
It’s clear that regulators did catch and contain some of the risks
saving money for taxpayers and bank customers alike
But considering the steep costs of delayed action
it’s fair to question whether the failure to detect a fairly straightforward risk—and move quickly to stop it—indicts the entire supervisory system and the $2 billion a year it costs taxpayers
which lost the right to operate its copper mine in Panama last year following protests by environmental groups and a court ruling deeming its contract void
is seeking to speed its copper projects in Peru
One of the three largest global copper producers
First Quantum in Peru controls the La Granja project
“These are projects that need to be accelerated,” said the mining company’s project development director
where fellow miner Rio Tinto is a minority partner
is a project with a 40-year lifespan and forecasted output of 500,000 metric tons per year
First Quantum’s Lewis said it has one of the largest undeveloped copper deposits in the world
fully owned by First Quantum in the Apurimac region
is in the “pre-feasibility” stage
It could reach an annual output of 200,000 tons once at full capacity
“We are very busy building more positive relationships with the communities (in Haquira) to allow it to come to light,” said Lewis
who did not offer a time frame for the construction of both mines in the South American country
The company shifted focus toward Peru after Panama’s government decided last year to annul First Quantum’s contract to operate the Cobre Panama mine there
which accounted for about 40% of First Quantum’s revenue last year
“We are now working with Panama’s government to ensure the environmental stability (of the project)
the safety of our employees,” Lewis said

wildlife and adventure water park in the outskirts of the city of Murcia
Terra Natura Murcia is one of the most important and spectacular animal and nature parks in western Spain
and is one of a new generation of wildlife parks in which visitors can discover the concept of what's called "Zooinmersión."
The aim of this is recreate a habitat which gives an experience of being at one with the wildlife viewed in the park
so to this end more than 500 examples of 50 species of vegetation have been interplanted among the animal habitats
spread across an area occupying more than 165,000 square metres
The planting has matured to create a comfortable and interesting environment which enhances the interaction between visitors and animals
The planting not only softens the landscape
but also enables visitors to be closer to the animals and have direct human contact rather than the traditional forms of wildlife park where the animals are at a distance behind physical barriers
The park contains over 500 animals belonging to 50 different species (some of which are in grave danger of extinction)
Iberian wolves and a White African Rhinoceros
Terra Natura Murcia offers different educational talks during visits to their facilities: giraffes
One of the most popular areas is the falconry zone
where the displays enable visitors to discover the beauty of a great variety of birds such as the majestic flight of the peregrine falcon
which reaches diving speeds of over 300 km an hour
One of the main aims of the park is to encourage contact and engage in interaction between animals and humans
and the falconry is a popular means of achieving this goal
Among the mammals are Iberian and European Lynx
During the summer Terra Natura opens Aqua Natura
the only water park in the Region of Murcia
This is a refreshing and enjoyable way to cool down in the heat of summer
with swimming pools for adults and children
all within just a short distance of the centre of the city of Murcia
Terra Natura Murcia is open every day of the year except 1st January and 25th December
The wildlife park opens at 10.00 in the morning
and during the summer (June 23rd to September 8th) it opens at 11.00
The water park opens from May 25th to September 8th
January 2nd – March 15th: 17.00
except weekends in February and March (18.00)
June 17th – September 8th: 20.00

The advent of single-cell chromatin accessibility profiling has accelerated the ability to map gene regulatory landscapes but has outpaced the development of scalable software to rapidly extract biological meaning from these data. Here we present a software suite for single-cell analysis of regulatory chromatin in R (ArchR; https://www.archrproject.com/) that enables fast and comprehensive analysis of single-cell chromatin accessibility data
user-focused interface for complex single-cell analyses
single-cell clustering and cell type identification
mRNA expression level prediction from chromatin accessibility and multi-omic integration with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)
Enabling the analysis of over 1.2 million single cells within 8 h on a standard Unix laptop
ArchR is a comprehensive software suite for end-to-end analysis of single-cell chromatin accessibility that will accelerate the understanding of gene regulation at the resolution of individual cells
a crucial requirement that would facilitate the broad use of these methods for investigating gene regulation at cellular resolution
Schematic of the ArchR workflow from pre-aligned scATAC-seq data as BAM or fragment files to diverse data analysis
Comparison of runtime and memory usage by ArchR
Signac and SnapATAC (Snap) for the analysis of ~20,000 PBMCs using 32 GB of RAM and eight cores (b) or ~70,000 PBMCs using 128 GB of RAM and 20 cores (c)
Dots represent replicates of benchmarking analysis (n = 3)
Initial UMAP embedding of scATAC-seq data from two replicates of the cell line-mixing experiment (n = 38,072 total cells from ten different cell lines)
Schematic of doublet identification with ArchR
colored by the enrichment of projected synthetic doublets (f) or the demuxlet identification labels based on genotype identification using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within accessible chromatin sites (g)
ROC curves of doublet prediction using ArchR doublet identification or the number of fragments per cell compared to demuxlet as a ground truth
The AUCs for these ROC curves are annotated below
UMAP after ArchR doublet removal of scATAC-seq data from two replicates of the cell line-mixing experiment (n = 27,220 doublet-filtered cells from ten different cell lines)
colored by demuxlet identification labels based on genotype identification using SNPs within accessible chromatin sites
the identification and removal of heterotypic doublets in ArchR reduces false cluster identification and improves the fidelity of downstream results
the efficiency of the iterative LSI implementation in ArchR limits the requirement for this estimated LSI approach to only extremely large datasets (>200,000 cells for 32 GB of RAM and eight cores)
whereas estimated LDM approaches are required for comparatively smaller datasets (>25,000 cells for 32 GB of RAM and eight cores) in SnapATAC
ArchR therefore has the ability to efficiently analyze both large- and small-scale datasets
a, UMAPs of scATAC-seq from PBMCs (top) and bone marrow cells (bottom), colored by aligned scRNA-seq clusters. This alignment was used for benchmarking of scATAC-seq gene score models. A list of abbreviations used in this figure appear in the Methods
Heatmaps summarizing the accuracy (measured by Pearson correlation) across 56 gene score models for both the top 1,000 differentially expressed (diff
exp.) and the top 2,000 variable genes for both PBMC and bone marrow cell datasets
Each heatmap entry is colored by the model rank in the given correlation test as described below the heatmap
The model class is indicated to the left of each heatmap by color
which uses bi-directional exponential decays from the gene TSS (extended upstream by 5 kb) and the gene transcription termination site (TTS) while accounting for neighboring gene boundaries
This model was shown to be more accurate than other models
Side-by-side UMAPs for PBMCs and bone marrow cells colored by gene scores from model 42 (left) and gene expression from the scRNA-seq alignment for key immune cell-related marker genes (right)
Heatmaps of gene expression (top) or gene scores for the top 1,000 differentially expressed genes (bottom) (selected from scRNA-seq) across all cell aggregates for PBMCs (e) or bone marrow cells (f)
Color bars to the left of each heatmap represent the PBMC or bone marrow cell cluster derived from scRNA-seq data

representing positive TF regulators across the B cell trajectory
Lines are colored by the position in pseudotime of B cell differentiation
In addition to the dramatic improvements in runtime
ArchR supports state-of-the-art chromatin-based analyses
including genome-wide inference of gene activity
TF footprinting and data integration with matched scRNA-seq
enabling statistical linkage of cis- and trans-acting regulatory factors to gene expression profiles
the improvements from ArchR enable interactive data analysis by which end users can iteratively adjust analytical parameters and thus optimize identification of biologically meaningful results
This is especially important in the context of single-cell data for which a one-size-fits-all analytical pipeline is not relevant or desirable
resolution of subtle batch effects and biology-driven data exploration are intrinsically necessary for a successful scATAC-seq analysis
and ArchR supports these efforts by enabling rapid analytical processes
ArchR provides an open-source analysis platform with the flexibility
speed and power to support the rapidly increasing efforts to understand complex tissues
organisms and ecosystems at the resolution of individual cells
All analyses were performed with the hg19 genome (except for the Mouse Atlas
R-based analysis used the BSgenome package with ‘BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19’ (‘BSgenome.Mmusculus.UCSC.mm9’ for Mouse Atlas) for genomic coordinates and the TxDb package with ‘TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene’ (‘TxDb.Mmusculus.UCSC.mm9.knownGene’ for Mouse Atlas) gene annotations unless otherwise stated
abbreviations are used for cell types of the hematopoietic system
lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitor cell; B
granulocyte macrophage progenitor; CD4 mem
plasmacytoid dendritic cell; pre-B; pre-B cell; NK
Bulk ATAC-seq libraries were pooled and purified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis before sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 using paired-end 75-bp reads
and a union set of variable-width accessible regions was identified using bedtools merge (version 2.26.0)
These accessible regions were genotyped across all samples using SAMtools mpileup (version 1.5) and VarScan mpileup2snp (version 2.4.3) with the following parameters: ‘--min-coverage 5 --min-reads2 2 --min-var-freq 0.1 --strand-filter 1 --output-vcf 1’
All positions containing a single-nucleotide variant were compiled into a master set
and then each cell line was genotyped at those specific single-base locations using SAMtools mpileup
The allelic depth at each position was converted into a quaternary genotype (homozygous A
homozygous B or insufficient data to generate a confident call)
inferred genotype probabilities were created based on those quaternary genotypes
and a VCF file was created for input to demuxlet using recommended parameters
Demuxlet was used to identify the cell line of origin for individual cells and to identify doublets based on mixed genotypes

When you check your social media notifications or enter your destination into a rideshare app, you’re interacting with a screen — but also, invisibly, with user experience (UX) designers.
These tech professionals mapped out your experience long before you had it
structuring it to feel as natural as possible
That’s their job: to craft easily navigable digital interfaces
Doing so takes empathy and artistry
But how are those qualities applied on a day-to-day basis
We asked a couple of UX designers to give us a peek into their worlds
Both agreed that UX design roles break down into roughly four components:
Dobe says she spends up to 75 percent of her work hours on ideating
Granja focuses mostly on designing and communicating
UX design roles vary widely, and there are countless possible UX design specializations
like information architecture and communication design
That’s not to mention another possible path in the field: generalist
Especially on smaller UX design teams like Granja’s
every designer does a little of everything
Both Dobe and Granja describe the UX design workflow as cyclical. On a given feature, user research spawns new front-end designs
UX designers often find themselves in multiple workflows simultaneously
Dobe has worked on as many as nine projects at once
a more detailed look at the four parts of UX design.
Dobe is now a full-time UX researcher
but she did some research as a UX designer
too — especially at the beginning of projects
was always “to really understand a user’s needs
motivations [and] empathize with them in terms of enhancing a product or even creating a new product.”
Specifically, Dobe’s research duties ranged from reviewing quantitative and qualitative survey results to user testing
Also known as usability testing
user testing involves learning about the user experience by simply observing how users go about completing key tasks within an app or platform
The process can highlight points of confusion in a more granular way than an interview might.
UX designers “really get to know [users],” Granja says of the process
Her user testing focuses on the features that stakeholders agree need feedback
Granja begins by laying out goals for testing
identifying the key interfaces to study — for instance
a homepage or a profile page — and the key learning objectives for each interface
This is the standardized monologue UX designers read before a user test begins
which lays out ground rules and introduces the task
it might be uploading a photo; on LinkedIn
it might be adding a new job to your resume
as a “dress rehearsal” for a user test with consumers
Granja asks her coworkers to try out a new feature.
User research can also involve user interviews
would never ask a user something as straightforward as
“What do you like about this product?” Instead
she and Granja often ask users about their experiences in the industry
completely separate from the products they’re researching.
“It’s the antithesis of asking people what they want,” Dobe says
she and Granja might ask how a user currently gets their groceries
as well as what goals and constraints influence the shopping process
but blocking out time for ideating is central to the UX designer’s process — and the creative process in general
This is how research findings become design concepts
Ideating consists of two phases. The first: research analysis, during which designers home in on concrete user problems. This can involve straightforward data science
Dobe breaks a sample of users down into categories
and storyboards out the typical user experience for each type
she notes common “pain points” for each type — for instance
a final “purchase” button one type always misses
usually synthesizes her research findings in a findings matrix: a table of problems and ratings of their difficulty levels and importance
Difficulty depends on the developer and designer horsepower a task requires; importance depends on how much the problem interferes with basic user tasks
Once a UX designer has picked a problem to tackle
it’s time for the second part of ideating: brainstorming
This doesn’t exactly involve pulling ideas “out of thin air,” Granja says. UX designers draw inspiration from wireframes for their brand’s other features to ensure the uniformity of user encounters
They also incorporate trends from the web at large
“You don’t want to make someone come in and relearn how to check out.”
When Granja feels stumped, she browses Dribbble and Behance for inspiration
But brainstorming doesn’t have to be a solo process
Both she and Dobe like to brainstorm with colleagues
talking through problems and jotting ideas on a whiteboard
inviting them to brainstorming (or “jam”) sessions at which they collaboratively sketched out possible designs and voted on their favorites
The ideating phase ends when a UX designer settles on a particular concept they want to move forward with
During this phase, a UX designer transforms a concept into a rough draft. How rough depends on the level of fidelity, or faithfulness, with which they’ve been tasked. A low-fidelity design, or wireframe, is a much rougher draft than a high-fidelity design, or prototype
The former is more like a blueprint or outline of “the structure of the site,” Dobe says
The latter has some interactive features and fleshed-out visuals and is pretty close to a finished product.
UX designers typically focus on wireframes. When Dobe was a designer, she created hers using software like Axure and Sketch
wireframing is a process of positioning logos
menus and buttons on highly-trafficked pages
Actual imagery remains minimal in this phase
It’s more about indicating placement for later design phases and creating a layout that draws attention to the most essential information
Granja also wireframes in Sketch, which she describes as a streamlined Photoshop. Because her job encompasses user interface design, or UI design — which isn’t unusual in the UX design world — she also fleshes out her wireframes into prototypes.
While prototyping, she often looks to the internal style guide. This document details a brand’s look in terms of colors
and its specifications can get very nitty-gritty.
The do’s and don’ts of using the ubiquitous Facebook logo
(Sample don’t: “Don’t make the ‘f’ logo the most distinctive or prominent feature of what you’re creating.”)
UX designers often have to present wireframes and prototypes to key stakeholders
which can include internal teams and external clients.
Presentations usually involve demonstrating how a new product will work
UX designers can trace features and formatting back to research and analysis.
Communicating isn’t just about finished designs
“there’s a lot of communication with developers to make sure that your ideas can be implemented in their timeframe,” Dobe says
“They have a whole other set of priorities and obligations on their end.”
Granja usually makes two wireframes to discuss with them: one of the ideal design and one of a “happy medium” design that will be quicker to code
UX designers don’t just collaborate with developers, though. They routinely meet with product and project managers
a steady flow of conversation keeps everyone in the loop about whether a design is for mobile or desktop
And ultimately, UX design hinges on collaboration.
“The common thread [through] every day is that I’m constantly working with several different teams.”
But no matter how impressive one’s background is, UX designers often begin their careers in lower-level positions. Gaining experience in entry-level roles like graphic designer or UX researcher may be necessary before one can become a UX designer
A UX designer is in charge of making products like apps and websites as accessible as possible
By applying user-centered design principles and researching customer needs
UX designers create products that are intuitive and easy for users to navigate
internships and four-year degrees all help one become a UX designer
An early-career professional may also need to gain experience in entry-level roles like UX researcher and graphic designer before securing a position as a UX designer
Those who acquire skills in areas like researching
designing and communicating can enjoy a rewarding career in the field of UX design
The Cedar Mill Farmers Market is in full swing this summer, bringing together community members and local farmers every Saturday in the parking lot of the Sunset Mall. Founded in 1999 by Leilani Esping
the market has grown to include over 30 vendors
providing an impressive selection of fresh produce and artisan goods
The spirit of friendship is very much alive underneath each canopy
because we know we’re doing something good for the community,” said Nicolas Amaro
owner of Granja Nuevo Horizonte in Gales Creek
Nicolas grows an assortment of seasonal vegetables
They are proud to never use any chemicals or synthetic pesticides in their produce
The Amaros have been vendors at the Farmers Market since 2009
They arrive at around 6 am to set up for the day
starting their business at 9 am when the market opens and closing down at 2 pm
the best part about coming to the market is the opportunity to interact with its vibrant community
“We love to hear our customers!” he exclaims
“They’re happy and they really appreciate what we do
I say it’s like the gas for us to keep going.”
She is a representative of Kiyokawa Family Orchards in the Hood River Valley
a third-generation orchardist whose grandfather emigrated from Japan in 1905
The orchards grow over 100 distinct varieties of apples
Laura greets each patron with a smile and knows many of them by name
She is also in charge of the aquatics program at the Sunset Athletic Club
“I see a lot of kids [at the market] that I taught who are 18 now
and I taught them when they were five or three,” Laura recalls
Laura found a way to reconnect with her swim students through the Farmers Market
what are you doing here!?’… and so it’s been really fun and rewarding.”
Debra Pearce of Nuts About Berries enjoys catching up with her return customers as well
“It’s really good seeing the same faces year after year after year,” she says
She and her partner Jon appreciate the cozy atmosphere of the Cedar Mill Farmers Market as it allows for a more personalized shopping experience
their stand transitioned to a touchless format; elements of that layout were kept to prevent cross-contamination
one can find many unique items made by small businesses
specializes in homemade soap and skincare products
Binah Goldman creates her soaps with all-natural oils and butters
“Everything is formulated to be super gentle,” she explains
“I get a lot of positive feedback from people
including folks with skin issues like eczema and psoriasis.” Binah is a resident of Cedar Mill herself
the Cedar Mill Farmers Market remains a cornerstone of the growing community
and excitement to the Safeway parking lot each Saturday
The market is more than just a place to shop for groceries—it’s a celebration of the local vendors whose passion for sustainability and dedication to their work are apparent in any interaction
Whether you’re searching for farm-fresh foods
the Cedar Mill Farmers Market is a treasure trove waiting to be explored
It is open every Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm through October 14

Rio Tinto Group recently agreed to sell a 55% majority stake in its La Granja copper project in Peru to First Quantum Minerals Ltd
The deal involves the First Quantum paying U.S
The hope is that the sale will allow the project to progress even faster
It should also allow the Rio team to concentrate more on their flagship copper mining developments in Mongolia and the United States
this will allow First Quantum to access and progress the site’s potential development via a feasibility study
La Granja is a challenging ore body situated in the high-altitude region of Cajamarca in Northern Peru
the site boasts an indicated and inferred mineral resource of 4.32 billion tons at 0.51% copper
This represents a tempting deposit for any copper mining firm
With Rio Tinto and First Quantum Minerals now joining forces to develop the site
given their combined development capabilities
the world could have a major new source of copper very soon
Stay ahead of the ever shifting copper market. MetalMiner Insights provides comprehensive copper price forecasting and AI feeds which give copper buyers a competitive edge over the competition. Schedule a demo.
It was 2006 when Rio Tinto acquired the La Granja Project from the Government of Peru
The company carried out an extensive drilling program in the intervening years
significantly expanding the declared resource and information regarding the ore body
Rio Tinto also partnered with host communities and national and regional governments during that time
Further developing the La Granja will significantly strengthen Rio Tinto’s copper portfolio
Copper is essential to the global shift toward clean energy. The metal has a range of applications for everything from electric vehicles to wind turbines. Moreover, S&P Global expects copper demand to increase significantly over the next decade
the growing demand for copper in the clean energy sector

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March put the spotlight on how US banks account for bonds and other tradable financial assets. SVB reclassified $8.8 billion of assets to avoid writing down their value, according to Chicago Booth’s João Granja—but a surge of withdrawals forced the bank to liquidate $21 billion of government bonds at a big loss
which accelerated the run and forced US federal banking regulators to step in
Many more lenders may be at risk of failure because American banks have substantial hidden losses in their portfolios
banking authorities need to take a look at banks’ application of the rules for marking assets as “hold to maturity,” meaning they have the intent and ability to let the securities mature and cash them out for full value
it doesn’t need to update those assets’ prices as interest rates fluctuate
Securities not marked HTM are classified as “available for sale,” and their value on the books does ride the market
Granja analyzed federal call-report data for 2021 and 2022
US lenders reclassified billions of dollars of securities as HTM assets during those two years
financial institutions accounted for 45 percent of their $6 trillion in securities
The research finds that when the US Fed started tightening the money supply in 2022
there was an increase in the share of commercial banks’ securities classified as “held to maturity,” which shielded banks from having to report the securities’ value fluctuations as interest rates changed
“These numbers suggest that banks actively sought to insulate their balance sheets and statements of income from declining market prices,” Granja writes
Were weak banks attempting to purposefully ‘hide’ potential future losses that might expose their frail capital and liquidity positions?”
The Fed’s cycle of monetary tightening led to a 10–30 percent drop in the price of bonds and similar securities
That spelled losses for banks holding those assets
Granja estimates that US banks were able to avoid recognizing $175 billion in losses on securities simply by slapping the HTM accounting label on them
this reclassification camouflaged a modest amount of damage—but at a few banks
would have eroded more than half of their capital
The study finds evidence that these banks may not have really had the intent and ability to hold on to these securities
His analysis indicates that less-stable banks—those with smaller capital bases
more securities that were exposed to interest-rate risk
and a higher share of customers whose deposits were above the $250,000 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation guarantee—were more likely to reclassify securities during 2021 and 2022
This suggests that weaker banks were attempting to hide potential future losses that would expose their shaky financial positions
He calls for stricter external scrutiny from auditors and regulators to strengthen financial stability
“Bank supervisors may have forgotten how dangerous these interest-rate risks might be in the financial system because rates have been so low for such a long time,” he says
The Fed’s recent stress tests on banks did not include scenarios with higher interest rates
arguing that if losses on securities portfolios had been obvious earlier
supervisors could have forced banks such as SVB to shore up their finances before it was too late
it’s possible that future losses will come to light sooner
and corrective action can be taken faster to salvage a bank that is in danger,” Granja says
