Stake & Paper is committed to accuracy in all of its reporting. When we make an error, we correct it promptly and transparently. This page documents all corrections and clarifications issued for previously published articles.
Errors of fact are corrected as soon as they are identified. The original article is updated in place with a correction notice at the top, and the correction is logged here with the date it was issued.
Clarifications are issued when an article is technically accurate but could be misinterpreted due to ambiguity or missing context.
Stake & Paper distinguishes between three categories of post-publication changes:
Because Stake & Paper covers commodity markets, mining operations, and energy policy, accuracy in data points such as production figures, reserve estimates, stock prices, and regulatory timelines is especially important. Our editorial team cross-references statistics against primary sources — SEC filings, USGS reports, EIA data, and company press releases — before publication. When an error is found after publication, the correction is made within 24 hours and documented here.
If you believe an article contains an error, please contact our editorial team at contact@stakeandpaper.com. Please include the article title or URL, the specific passage in question, and the correct information along with a supporting source if available. All submissions are reviewed by the editorial team.
10/14/2026 — Canadian-dollar figures in fourteen mining roundups. Following the source’s style, the roundups gave Canadian-dollar amounts with a bare “$” beside their US-dollar conversion (“$91 million (US$65.7 million)”). Twenty-two such figures are now marked C$; each conversion was already given, and the exchange rate each pair implies (about 1.35 to 1.43) confirms the currency. One figure was wrong: a May roundup gave Westhaven Gold’s market value as $103.70 million; the figure reported was C$75.2 million (US$55.1 million). Each article carries a notice. The research check now refuses a bare “$” figure that its source pairs with a US-dollar amount, since that figure is in another currency the source does not name.
10/14/2026 — Two articles corrected after content review. Each carries a notice at the top. “Data Centers Lose Their Safe Harbor” said Firmus expects to carry about $43 billion of debt; ABC’s figure is in Australian dollars, and the debt is about US$30 billion. The October 6 market report said 16 of 19 names rose and one was unchanged; Occidental Petroleum rose 0.03%, as the report’s own table shows, so 17 rose and 2 fell. The report generator now counts breadth from the change as printed in the table. Other flagged claims were checked and found correct as published: gold’s $5,318.40 January record settlement (Dow Jones market data, as MINING.COM reported it), the 9.5 billion zlotys ($2.44 billion) value of KGHM’s two strategic projects as reported, and the silver and gold closes in the October 5, 12 and 13 reports, which match our market data provider.
10/2/2026 — Two daily market reports. The September 30 report, first headlined “Energy Markets Diverge as Metals Shine and Oil Majors Struggle,” described strength in metals and gold miners, safe-haven buying and pressure on the oil majors. Its own tables show the reverse: gold fell 0.69% and silver 1.84%, Newmont, Barrick and Agnico Eagle each fell about 1.4%, and the six oil majors were mixed, three up and three down. It also said the session came before the last trading day of the month; it was that day. The headline, summary and those passages were rewritten to match the tables, and the report carries a notice at the top. Separately, the October 1 report and the September 30 report each had a sentence listing breadth counts without verbs (“8 of the 19 names, 11 of the 19 names and 0 of the 19 names”); both were repaired. No figure changed in either report. The generator now tells the writer how those counts must be used.
10/2/2026 — Five articles restored. When the corrections logged on 9/22/2026 were applied, five of the articles — on AI’s power crunch, China Resources New Energy’s IPO, the offshore wind court rulings, Sweden’s rare earth lease, and OpenAI’s Broadcom chip — were left showing only their correction notice, with the article text missing. All five have been restored with those corrections in place. A check now refuses any change that leaves an article without its text.
9/27/2026 — Four articles corrected after content review. Each carries a notice at the top. COMEX copper’s $6.83 a pound on September 22 was not a record; the COMEX high is $6.89, set intraday on September 9. A weekly recap’s “all-time high of $6.31 per gallon” for diesel could not be found in the source it cited and was replaced with the EIA’s weekly averages, $6.285 and $6.529, both records. BHP’s order for 62 diesel trucks came at the same time it pledged to go electric, per ABC’s Four Corners, not at the event launching its battery trucks. An energy-fund close of $64.31 was Friday’s and is now dated. Five other flagged claims were checked against primary sources and found correct as published: Mount Marion’s typical 5% and 3.5% Li2O concentrate grades (Mineral Resources), tantalum’s $118 a pound peak before the Tanco shutdown (the mine’s own history), copper’s $14,875 a tonne high as MINING.COM reported it, and two claims already corrected on 9/22.
9/24/2026 — Contradictory wording in twenty market reports. Sentences in twenty daily energy reports paired a direction word with a figure of the opposite sign — describing a decline as a gain (“posted a more modest gain of -0.69%”), or a gain as a drop (“dropping +0.55%”). Sixty-three such sentences were repaired. The figures were correct and matched each report’s own tables; the wording did not, and no figure has changed. One sentence was different: it called a name the session’s only gain while quoting the open-to-close column, where the day’s gain was against the prior close, and it has been rewritten to give both. Each report carries a dated notice. The generator has had a guard against this since July, but the guard did not match the phrasing “a gain of” and did not run on the blog path at all; both are fixed, so it cannot recur.
9/22/2026 — Factual errors in twelve more articles. The remaining claims flagged in content review were checked against primary sources. Corrected, each with a notice at the top: a 1,000 TWh data-center forecast attributed to Gartner is the IEA’s (Gartner’s figure is 565 TWh); China holds just under half of world rare earth reserves per the USGS, not 35%; Noma Security’s GitHub disclosure is dated July 6, not July 7; a JetBrains survey was quoted with figures it does not contain; DRAM contract prices rose 93 to 98 percent in the first quarter per TrendForce, and a quoted analyst does not appear in its releases; the Halliburton-Nabors milestone dates from April 2025, and Nabors’s crew-size figure from 2017; the FCC waived Amazon’s July 2026 Kuiper deadline before we reported it as binding; the IEA’s 2026 estimate for Russian output is 8.9 million barrels a day; the Artemis Accords had 61 signatories in January 2026 and 70 by July, not 51; copper treatment charges were assessed at about minus $47 a tonne by Platts, not minus $66.40. Four figures that could not be sourced anywhere were removed: an 800 TWh data-center forecast, a $86.1 billion energy M&A total, a 42% market-share figure and a 93% HBM production shift. Ten other flagged claims were confirmed correct as published.
9/22/2026 — Factual errors in five articles. Each was checked against the primary source and carries a correction at the top: transformer lead times per the Department of Energy were three to six months in 2019 and 12 to 30 months in 2023, not “24 to 30 months before 2020”; Yihai Kerry Arawana’s 2020 IPO raised 13.9 billion yuan, about $2 billion, not $1.9 billion; WTI rose about 55 percent between February and April 2026 per EIA monthly averages, not 30 percent, and an unverifiable corn figure was removed; Lemhi’s US$215 million is initial capital, not life-of-mine capital; and OpenAI’s “just over 2 gigawatts” of compute is CNBC’s October 2025 figure, now dated as such. Ten other flagged claims were checked the same day and found correct as published.
9/21/2026 — Factual errors in seven articles. Each was checked against the primary source and carries a correction at the top: U.S. lithium production for 2025 is withheld by the USGS, not “about 1,000 metric tons”; the researcher quoted by CSO Online on the GitHub agent flaw is Vibhum Dubey; Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind delivered first power in March 2026, not June; Generation Mining’s Wheaton stream is C$200 million, not $240 million; Matrix Renewables expects Tormes Solar online in the first half of 2027, not the third quarter; OSHA publishes no figure of 42 drilling deaths a year; and the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway listed in 2020, not 2009.
9/21/2026 — Daily market reports, 6/1/2026 through 7/31/2026 (42 articles). The percentage moves in these reports were measured from each session’s opening price to its close, not from the previous session’s close, which is how a daily change is normally stated. For some stocks on some days the two point in opposite directions. Each report now carries a correction at the top naming every such stock, its tables label the original figures as open-to-close moves, and a column has been added with the daily change against the prior close. Closing prices were correct as published. The calculation was fixed on 9/20/2026.
9/20/2026 — Factual errors in ten articles. Figures and attributions flagged in content review were checked against primary sources and corrected, among them Brazil’s rare earth reserves (21 million tonnes per the USGS, not 11 million) and a net loss attributed to Albemarle ($1.2 billion for fiscal 2024, not $1.8 billion).
8/10/2026 — Crude oil and natural gas prices in 191 articles, 4/23/2026 through 7/31/2026. A failed data connection caused these articles to print fixed placeholder prices for WTI, Brent and Henry Hub instead of that day’s prices. All 191 were corrected with the actual prices from the U.S. Energy Information Administration for the relevant dates, and the placeholder values have since been removed from our systems entirely.
