DRC MINING WEEK HIGHLIGHTS: BALANCING MINING PRIORITIES AND COMMUNITY NEEDS The second day of DRC Mining Week focused on discussing mining trends and priorities. Serge Mumbu, Managing Director of Target SARL, emphasized the need to reconcile the priorities of miners with those of local communities for economic balance. He shared these insights on Thursday, June 13, 2024, during his panelist intervention. The panel addressed several critical questions, focusing on identifying geopolitical trends that could shape the mining sector in the DRC in the coming years. Key questions included: -What mining priorities are being set by the DRC government and the…READ MORE HERE https://lnkd.in/dxs6u4Eq

Breaking rock from the inside - Did you know that breaking down rocks through the crushing, grinding and milling process is the biggest consumer of energy in the mining industry? Take a look at what MICA | Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator member Rockburst Technologies is doing with super critical CO2 to literally break rocks from the inside - breaks rocks easier when you weaken them. #innovation #communition #mining #crushing #grinding #milling https://lnkd.in/gaMsKTDC

🌎 Ahead of the #PDAC2024 Convention in Toronto, Ian Mitchell, leader of our global Mining Group, appeared on BNN Bloomberg's The Close to discuss the current state of critical mineral mining in Canada. 🎙 The discussion focused on whether the sector was well-positioned to meet the demands of the country’s aggressive #EV targets, while also remaining competitive on the world stage. According to Ian, Canada needs to move quickly if it's to stay ahead of the competition, and effective cooperation is an essential ingredient in this regard.

A few points to consider: As a former employee of a major oil company and a current business owner in the offshore oil & gas arena with lots of major oil company customers, I do not believe that the majors could have successfully developed the shale business. They’re just too slow, too bureaucratic and not very tolerant of failure. Their boards would have pulled the plug on such ventures (if they had ever agreed to it in the first place) that were destroying capital at a rapid rate before they figured how to make it work. While it may look like they’ve had to pay a high price for acquisitions, I submit they came out ahead letting others do the trial & error and destroy billions of dollars in investor and bank capital and only buying in after it was proven. Picking the winners in the early days of such disruptive change is almost impossible. The first company to pioneer the shale business was Mitchel Energy that was a public company at the time and majority owned by George Mitchel. Therefore George was mostly spending his own money. Private equity was nowhere in sight. They jumped in later and lost a bunch of their limited partners’ money. Deep sea mining was a hot thing in the late 1970s when I was an undergraduate Ocean Engineering student. I worked for one of my professors on a research project looking at using side scan sonar to find nodule fields. A substantial amount of mining company capital was destroyed before it was figured out that the economics didn’t work and the whole deep sea mining industry collapsed and the research project was cancelled. Not to predict it won’t work this time around but the big miners (like big oil) may well come out ahead waiting on the technology and economics to be proven and buying one of the winners. Just my take as someone who has been around through a lot of ups and downs in the offshore space and has the mental, physical and financial scars to show for it but still loves every minute
