🌍 Long viewed as a problem within ESG frameworks, Mining is becoming increasingly important for helping the globe achieve the net-zero targets. ESG plays a critical role in the long-term success and investment returns. How mining companies position themselves around the energy transition will impact on the sustainability and competitive advantage for mining companies over the next decade.    As part of our 11th Annual Mining Series we are hosting a debate on Driving Sustainable Development Circularity & ESG in Mining, on 6 February 12:00 – 14:00. Join us for a panel discussion led by Ian Massey, Head of Corporate Intelligence, EMEA at S-RM, and speakers Laura Blanco Toro, Global Head of ESG at Xcalibur Smart Mapping, Ana Hajduka Shields, Co-Founder & CEO at Africa GreenCo, Bruce Dettling, Mining Broking Leader at Aon, Marie-Chantal Kaninda, President of Glencore DRC and Joachim Nzuzi, Chief of Staff at ERG Africa, to explore ESG trends for Africa’s mining. 🎟 Register here: https://lnkd.in/e8FHQWpQ   #MiningSeries #ESG #Circularity #AfricanMining 

We came, we saw, and we networked at the Investing in African Mining Indaba 2024. Our presence at Mining Indaba can be summed up in a few words from our CEO, Martin Spitznagel and General Manager, Alexander McHaffie in their own personal reflections: Alex's reflection: “Reflecting on Mining Indaba 2024, I'm affirmed of Africa's pivotal role in critical mineral mining. The event showcased global private sector interest and proactive invitations from African states for industry investment. Emphasizing responsible mining, discussions centered on shared value for stakeholders and local content creation.” Martin's reflection: "Attending Mining Indaba isn't just about mining itself and valuable networking; it's about putting sustainability at the heart of our industry's interests. That's why I exceptionally enjoyed the panels and discussions on stage of Newmont Corporation sponsored Sustainability Series, forging a path where responsible practices drive lasting impact." As a company, we continue to contribute towards a sustainable and responsible mining future in Africa and the rest of the world. Reach out for your dust suppression and soil stabilization solutions: info@bind-x.co.za #BindX #SolidImpact #MI24 #dustsuppression #soilstabilization #miningindaba2024 #mining #dustcontrol

What are the biggest challenges facing the global mining industry today? Ahead of this year's Investing in African Mining Indaba, our global mining team have reflected on the issues facing our clients, and will be at the event to address these: 1. The lingering workplace impacts that arose from COVID-19. 2. Critical mineral production and jurisdiction shopping for financial government assistance. 3. The lack of actual improvements for faster, cheaper and more streamlined project approval processes. 4. The global disconnection between the expected appetite for minerals and the availability of capital to fund the development of projects. 5. ESG and social licence issues remain the most significant obstacle to new project development globally. Reach out to José Ignacio Morán, Greg McNab, Nurhan Aycan, Iyunola Adekanye, Omolola Coker, Joseph Jalasi, Brandon Irsigler, Peter Okaalet Jr, Tom Sipemba, Emma Kimario, Urvashi Seomangal, or David Clay, to meet with us during Mining Indaba. #MI24 #MiningIndustry

Good to speak at the Victorian Gold Exploration and Mining Conference today with my colleague Shane Evans about the policy priorities government needs to implement to attract investment in mining. Victoria must make the most of the opportunity in gold, rare earths, mineral sands and other minerals in our state. Having the resources in the ground is not enough. Victoria needs an approvals system that can convert discoveries into mines. The number of speakers with incredibly prospective projects in one one of the worlds richest gold regions gives reason to be optimistic. With a new investment facilitator, multiple mines in the EES stage of development, an active skills program by industry, and a critical minerals strategy in the making from government, Victoria is is on the verge of becoming a bigger mining state.

Critical thinking: How to capitalise on Australia’s critical minerals opportunity Australia's critical minerals mining sector is at a fork in the road. PwC's recent analysis shows that only 121 out of 696 projects across the mining life-cycle are investable, with many lacking the necessary scale. To overcome this, we must draw on our success in bulk commodities and implement mechanisms to attract private capital. Developing mining project clusters in regions with high mineralisation and existing infrastructure can help achieve economies of scale. By strengthening collaboration and testing innovative financing models, we can accelerate the growth of our critical minerals industry. #Mining #CriticalMinerals #Australia #Innovation Read the full article find out more  https://pwc.to/3NG7h6f

Mines need to move from mere extraction to equitable prosperity. By assessing the true impact of their activities, they can uncover the hidden gems of sustainable mining to benefit all stakeholders: the environment, society and the economy. Watch Julie Rosa, PwC Strategy& Associate Director, and Andries Rossouw, PwC Africa Energy, Utilities and Resources Leader, discuss why impact assessments matter in mining.
