The Fraser Institute's 2023 annual mining survey evaluates how mineral resources and policy conditions influence perceptions of exploration investment. By analyzing survey responses, the report ranks global jurisdictions according to their overall investment appeal, mining policy attractiveness, and geological desirability. Quebec secured the fifth position in the world for investment attractiveness, a key index that considers the combined effects of policy factors and mineral endowment. This favorable ranking underscores the strategic significance of our Gaspé Copper project, which stands among the largest copper development assets in Eastern North America. Located in this safe, established mining jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure access, Gaspé Copper provides us with valuable exposure to copper—a critical mineral essential for developing renewable, green energy in the global shift towards decarbonization.

They include: - Designing integrated approaches - Facilitating multi-stakeholder collaboration - Instituting regulatory norms - Putting protocols in place for planning, monitoring, and evaluation 🗓️: 5 June 2024 📍: Online ⏰: 14:00 - 15:30pm CET 🔗To register: https://lnkd.in/eCdmXdx4 Read full report here: https://lnkd.in/ev7TFUPe

#Interview | Vivien Chaplin, Director in the Corporate & Commercial practice and Head of the Mining & Minerals sector, and Jaco Meyer, Director in the Corporate & Commercial practice, were featured in the Engineering News and Mining Weekly: Reflecting on South Africa's mining future. They consider that the 2024 London Indaba is set to be a crucial platform for discussing the future of mining in Africa, with a theme highlighting Africa's critical role in the global minerals and metals industry. For South Africa, this event represents a significant opportunity to showcase its mining potential and attract international investment. However, to fully leverage this potential, South Africa must address the pressing challenges facing its mining industry, which were underscored at the February 2024 Cape Town Indaba (see https://bit.ly/3xrTkV3 and https://bit.ly/3VKcU8E). Despite these challenges, there is cautious optimism about South Africa's mining sector. Our experts emphasise that the private sector's commitment to collaborate with the government offers hope. To attract and retain investors, South Africa needs regulatory reforms, sustainable mining practices, and substantial infrastructure investments. By addressing these areas, South Africa can enhance its mining sector's appeal and solidify its position as a leading mining destination on the continent.

Africa's mining sector needs a paradigm shift! 🌍💰 Relying solely on local investors won't unlock our continent's full mining potential. We lack the deep capital markets and risk appetite needed for long-term, high-stakes investments. African governments must take the lead! This means: Investing beyond infrastructure: Fund geological research, exploration programs, and processing facilities. Creating targeted manufacturing centers: Add value to our resources in Africa. Partnering strategically: Collaborate with international investors and mining experts. We can only ensure sustainable mining practices and create lasting value for our communities by taking proactive steps. #MiningInAfrica #AfricanMinerals #ResourceDevelopment #ValueAddition #InvestmentOpportunities

AFRICA OPPORTUNITY: Mining-Centric SEZs Driving Growth Africa is witnessing a surge in Mining-centric Special Economic Zones (SEZs), transforming the landscape of the mining industry. South Africa’s Platinum Valley, backed by Anglo American, is set to lead the hydrogen fuel cell revolution. Similarly, Tanzania’s Kabanga Nickel Project, leveraging SEZ benefits, promises cost-effective production. These zones offer lucrative incentives like significant tax breaks, creating fertile ground for investment and innovation.

Australia’s gap in mineral processing capabilities is a significant challenge. At IMARC, I spoke with numerous mining companies, and the interest in advancing mineral processing here is immense. Yet, many companies expressed their struggle to find the right support to develop these projects—particularly in flowsheeting, test work, and aligning these with project economics. When I introduced Scimita’s unique capability to bring all these aspects together under one roof—and even screen thousands of flowsheets in minutes—the response was electric. Consistently, the feedback I received was, ‘We can significantly enhance project ROI and NPV, potentially turning uneconomical mines into profitable ventures and enhancing investability.’ It’s clear that moving from minerals to materials requires not just innovative tools and infrastructure but a collaborative mindset to drive change in Australia. What else is holding back our progress in the minerals-to-materials transition? If you know others ready to elevate Australia’s mineral processing game, let’s connect!” #MineralProcessing #MiningInnovation #AustraliaMining #JuniorMining #ResourceDevelopment #MineralToMaterials #IMARC #MiningIndustry #ProjectDevelopment #Investability

In this episode of the Sunday Roast, hosts Phil Carroll and Kevin Hornsby attended the Resourcing Tomorrow conference at London’s Business Design Centre, engaging with various junior mining exploration companies. The conference, held from December 3 to 5, 2024, is Europe’s largest mining investment event, focusing on global sustainability goals and connecting miners with investors. During the event, they conversed with Gavin Ferrar, Chief Executive Officer of Central Asia Metals (AIM: CAML), a base metals producer with operations in Kazakhstan and North Macedonia. They also spoke with Marian Moroney about Conroy Gold and Natural Resources’ “Discs of Gold” project in Ireland, which includes the Clontibret Deposit with a 0.5 million-ounce gold resource. Additionally, they interviewed Greg Martyr of Capital Metals regarding the Eastern Minerals Project in Sri Lanka. This project boasts a JORC Resource of 17.2 million tonnes with an average grade of 17.6% Total Heavy Minerals, making it one of the highest-grade mineral sands deposits globally. They discussed the project’s progress, including the challenges faced over the past few years and efforts to reduce capital expenditure. The episode also features a weekly roundup of significant news stories and market movements. Listeners can expect insights into the latest developments in the mining sector and updates from companies like Central Asia Metals, Conroy Gold and Natural Resources, and Capital Metals.
