While I understand the focus on the raid, the mention of cartels’ capabilities is vague. Are there specific instances tying these groups to mining or energy infrastructure? Hard to comment without concrete examples.
Although this doesn’t directly relate to mining or commodities, the escalating cartel violence is alarming. It’s concerning how organized crime is evolving and the resources they can access. How does this impact supply chains in related industries?
True, it’s a broader security issue. Mining operations in certain regions already deal with these threats, but the tactics are becoming more sophisticated.
This feels like a wake-up call. If cartels can turn a nightclub into a battleground, what’s stopping them from targeting vulnerable supply routes? The stability of global markets is a bigger concern than we realize.

There are known cases, but they’re often underreported. Cartels have been known to extort mining companies in Mexico for years.

I wonder how much these cartels are diversifying into legal industries, including minerals and energy. The blurring lines are always worth monitoring.

You’re not wrong. Just last year, there were reports of mining trucks being hijacked in South America. It’s a growing problem.
