Big #news in the mining world. AngloGold Ashanti has agreed a $2.5bn deal to acquire Centamin PLC as consolidation heats up in the #preciousmetals #mining sector.

Earlier this year I read this really interesting article from Xuan-Ce Wang (Linked: https://lnkd.in/g8Ect5nB) outlining his insights 'into the trends, adjustments, risks, and investment strategies shaping the Australian lithium mining industry in Q4 2023'. Now, 2024 has seen a signifiant drop off in the #lithium buzz and lots of companies that saw buoyancy in the commodity and #batterymaterials in 2023 are now suffering from the drop off in Q1 and Q2 of 2024. So, to hopefully start the wheel turning on the commodity's rejuvenation, below is a 3 page infographic that illustrates the biggest and best producers of the #battery material from the past year... discoverygr.com #li #lithium #spodumene #exploration #projects #chile #argentina #australia #china #mining #lithiummining #batterymetals #discovery

As 2024 comes towards the end of Q3, the industry as a whole will be busy, including the activity of sourcing the ideal and relevant personnel for each project to advance effectively. However, we all know this is all correlational to the ebbs and flows of commodity prices and investment, which many juniors have found difficult in the current market. However, here is an #infographic of the number of #projects in each state and territory in #Australia for 2024 moving into 2025... I have also found these 2 websites which could help source where the opportunities are for interest, investment or even employment; - https://lnkd.in/gHt_-y3N - https://lnkd.in/gGc2QtnC www.discoverygr.com #australiajobs #miningjobs #mining #gold #copper #nickel #lithium #coal #ironore #rareearths #mineralsands #minerals #discovery

Average lead time almost 18 years for mines started in 2020–23 According to S&P Global: "The average mine lead time continues to trend upward, reaching 17.9 years for mines coming online in 2020–23 compared with 12.7 years for mines that started up 15 years ago. In this update of our previous article studying the lead time of mines — the interval from discovery to production — we have included several mines that started in 2023 and backfilled information on mines that started earlier. This study includes gold, copper, nickel and lithium mines that have begun production since 2000. All the main points that we presented in our previous study have held true in this iteration. It takes an average of approximately 16 years for a mine to go from discovery of a deposit to startup. Open-pit mines have a longer average lead time than underground mines due to the longer exploration and permitting phases. Nickel mines have the longest lead time due to a longer construction period, amplified by several mines discovered in the mid-1980s and 1990s when lower nickel prices may have caused tighter access to capital." discoverygr.com #timetobuildamine #mining #capital #gold #copper #lithium #nickel #zinc #ironore #coal #america #usa #africa #southamerica #northamerica #development #discovery

Some BIG news! After running Discovery Group for a short while now, I've been asked by many clients about the company's versatility in sourcing blue collar #mining professionals such as #operator, #supervisor, #foreman and #trades. Given Discovery's speciality is in #technical and #executive #mining headhunting, I still wanted the ability to help these clients with their #recruitment needs without deviating from what I know best and have done for the better part of 15 years. There was someone I knew that excelled in this space, had the same values around our purpose as mining recruiters, the value we can bring clients and had won many awards for their craft. So, without further ado, I'd like to announce Discovery Group's partnership with HWS Recruitment and Martyn J Hill. As you can see, I didn't just want to partner with anyone. I wanted to partner with the best! His reputation and knowledge in his space preceeds him. This partnership will allow companies that partner with HWS and Discovery to have access to almost 30 years of experience within this space, as well as having access to specialists for both white collar and blue collar staffing requirements. Discovery Group: Will cater for white collar technical and executive positions HWS Recruitment: Will cater for blue collar positions Please give HWS Recruitment a follow, especially if you work within trades, operator, supervisor, fitter or foreman roles within #mining. Here's to a long an prosperous partnership.

#Mining truly is global. Discovery Group have been no strangers to #recruiting in some countries that most don't associate with the industry as well as the countries that have a long and distinguished history with the sector.
