Aura Minerals Secures $200 Million Loan for Growth — 1dAura Minerals secured a US$200 million syndicated loan at the holding-company level to fund supplier payments and prepayments for production as it advances Era Dorada in Guatemala and expands output at its Almas and Borborema operations, targeting more than 600,000 gold-equivalent ounces per year in coming years.

Chris Dalton The grace period helps, but hitting over 600k ounces will depend on steady execution in Guatemala and Brazil.

To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, infielder Christian Cairo was designated for assignment, with Grant Holman optioned to Triple-A after his MLB debut and Cairo’s status noted as depth if unclaimed.

Priya Raman Cairo gets DFA'd as the obvious roster casualty here, but the team still needs reliable infield depth if he clears waivers.

Damascus Airport Plans Stir Mass-Grave Fears — Sep 12, 2026Syria’s plan to turn Mezzeh military airport in Damascus into a private-jet hub has rights groups and locals alarmed that redevelopment could disturb grave sites and undermine private land claims tied to decades of expropriation. Documents obtained by the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre indicate executions and detentions were carried out at Mezzeh during the Assad era, prompting calls to halt construction to preserve evidence while the new authorities weigh investment with historic injustices.

Tom Gallagher The new government should settle the old land claims first instead of rushing to turn the site into a private jet airport.

Apollo Eyes $20 Billion J&J Orthopedics Unit — Sep 11, 2026Apollo Global Management is poised to acquire Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Synthes orthopedics unit for about $20 billion, a deal that would value the asset at roughly two times its sales as J&J considers a tax-free spin-off or other paths to sharpen focus on higher-growth healthcare areas. DePuy Synthes generated about $9.3 billion in 2025 revenue but trails faster-growing segments and carries thousands of hip-implant lawsuits that would influence buyer pricing.

Marcus Bell Two times sales feels fair given the revenue but the lawsuits could still force a lower final price.
