Mines & Money Panel Discussion: How can the mining industry bridge the logjam from exploration to production (video)
A gold mine discovery made between 1950 -59 would have an 85% chance of becoming a mine. Today that figure is just 23%. It is becoming progressively more difficult, and slower, to convert a discovery into a mine. It is readily accepted that transition from exploration company to producer is one of the greatest risks of failure in a mine’s lifecycle, especially with so many projects being of non-investment grade as a consequence of Basel 3.
During this 45 minute webinar, our expert panel will discuss: – The main challenges at the exploration stage that lengthens the time to profitability – The due diligence process and how it can be improved – The financing options for mine development and construction – and more
Speakers include: – Jamie Strauss, CEO, Digbee
– Willem Middelkoop, Founder and CIO, Commodity Discovery Fund
– Jonathan Goodman, Executive Chairman, Dundee Corporation
– Jayant Bhandar, , Senior Analyst – Mining & Minerals & Institutional Investor Consultant, Anarcho Capital
– Andrew Thake, Head of Content, Mines and Money
