Mining Journal sister publication MiningNews.net held a conference today in Sydney, Mining News Select, where industry experts shared some key insights and predictions on the #resources industry. 🌪 Despite economic headwinds, there are plenty of reasons for a bullish resources outlook, mining investment personality Rick Rule told delegates. Rule said there had been three decades of under-investment in natural resource capacity, and given increasing urbanisation in countries such as India, Indonesia and Brazil, there was a "hugely bullish" outlook for materials including #copper. https://lnkd.in/eC7vqPtp 🏭 The conference also heard about navigating the long and winding energy transition and what the fine print around critical minerals is and how China's dominance is likely to evolve. https://lnkd.in/eD9thz-6 🔌 MiningNews.net also spoke to copper producers PolarX Limited , Alma Metals , Emmerson Plc and Helix Resources Limited https://lnkd.in/eRjmMmPz #mnssydney #energyminerals #criticalminerals #china #lithium #copper #nickel #miningstocks #mininginvestment

The Mining Association of B.C. reveals that if approved, over a dozen new critical-mineral mines in the province could generate an average of $1 billion in revenue each per year. The study commissioned by the association emphasizes the economic potential of critical minerals, surpassing industries such as wood product manufacturing, motion pictures, and residential building construction combined. The report, part of British Columbia's upcoming critical minerals strategy, outlines the transformative impact on the mining sector, aiming to position the province as a global supplier of responsibly produced critical minerals for the world's energy transition. https://lnkd.in/gg2DB9k8 #mabc #kutcho #kc #mining #copper #criticalminerals #bc #invest

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.

🌏 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 💥 When it comes to the Australian mining industry, Western Australia (WA) stands as the undisputed epicentre. This resource-rich state hosts a vast array of high-grade resources and some of the largest mines in the country. WA is the world's largest iron ore supplier, with multiple iron ore projects, particularly in the mineral-rich Pilbara region in the north of the state. But that's not all – new mineral exploration is constantly underway, with a spotlight on lithium and vanadium to meet the growing demand for green energy alternatives and new battery technologies. Talent and knowledge from our local strengths are highly sought after for developing resources globally! #Mining #Westernaustralia #Greenenergy

Explore the current state of the mining industry and learn why Canada's British Columbia can become a top supplier of critical minerals in the world. Dig into insights with the latest BC Mine report. https://lnkd.in/gXnu8DC3

Great article which highlights the lack of capital in the mining industry. We need governments to partner in developing mineral resources, not to put up obstacles and limit investment and growth.

Great insights in this article. It emphasizes the need to balance the protection of Canadian resources with ensuring the mining sector has adequate access to capital, which is crucial for its development, particularly during the transition to clean energy technologies. Take a read.

The #sustainability standard convergence continues, this one particularly relevant for Futureproof's #mining clients. The Copper Mark, Mining Association of Canada, ICMM and the World Gold Council have begun consolidation of their individual standards into a single global responsible mining standard, aiming to take the best of each standard to develop a single, global standard that would be practical and implementable by any miner regardless of commodity, geography, or size. We hope IRMA Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance will be engaged as a matter of priority by this coalition #ESG #sustainabilityreporting #responsiblemining
