The deal is expected to boost Lundin’s copper output by about 50% from 2022 levels.

The Canadian federal government is set to release its 2023 budget today in Ottawa at 4:00 p.m. ET. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has noted that the budget will "exercise fiscal restraint" to avoid adding ““fuel on the fire of inflation” as the Bank of Canada is battling to bring consumer prices back to their 2% target.
However, the budget is likely to include more highly-targeted relief measures - including a grocery rebate for low income Canadians. The budget is also likely to include tax credits or spending aimed at the clean energy sector, and healthcare spending as part of deals agreed with the provinces and territories.
