Mineral Exploration
A challenging scenario
The Mining Industry has significant challenges ahead:
• Mining will progressively move to more remote
regions and with a higher risk profile
• Increasing government pressure for profit sharing,
public compensation and infra-structure
development. Risk of legislation change and
resource nationalization
• Sustainable operations to address increasing social
requirements
• More stringent environmental regulations and
conditions. Potential for additional costs
associated to climate change
• Short supply of skilled labour
