Mining in Bolivia has been one of the key economic pillars of the country, intertwined with the nation's history, social fabric, and national identity. From the beginning of the colonial period, when silver mines in Potosí fueled the Spanish Empire, to modern times, with Bolivia recognised for its wealth in minerals like tin, zinc, silver, and lithium, mining has played a major development role. Today, however, the Bolivian mining industry is a very complex combination of large-scale operations, cooperative mining, state-owned enterprises, and informal small-scale activities that face the current challenges and opportunities of our times.

Glad to be at the best and most thought-provoking panel of the Investing in African Mining Indaba afternoon schedule on “Rethinking Resource Nationalism”: it’s a hot topic. Far and away one of the main issues facing governments and mining companies today.. Here are some of the main thought-leaders in this discussion.. What does “resource nationalism” mean? It has very negative connotations, says Claude de Baissac of Eunomix.. Mining a boom-and-busy industry, commodities cycles a feature not a bug… There is a clear correlation between resources nationalism and commodity cycles on the up. “Nationalism is a continuum”… says Warren Beech of Beech Veltman, and we need to “message this correctly”.. Can “resource nationalism” serve to create a better Social License to Operate (SLO)? “Resource nationalism” is a global issue, says Jeff Quartermaine, CEO of Perseus Mining Limited, who drew attention to equitability and local procurement issues.. It’s a much broader debate, but essentially “local communities must get their fair share, the challenge is working out what that fair share looks like”. Keep an eye out for the take on this from from Bedford Analysis next week👈🏻 #geopoliticalrisk #continuum

The Mining Industry Association of Southern Africa’s Vusi Mabena tells The Junior Mining Indaba 2024 that artisanal and small-scale miners offer value and are undeniably a part of the market. He says the formal mining industry and SADC governments ignore them at their own risk. Tanzania is a success story where ASMs and SSMs notably improved the country’s GDP. Tiefenthaler Africa
