featuring:

How do you end up with a small fortune in mining? The answer, in the past, has been start off with a really big fortune. Unfortunately, there is some truth in this bad joke. In the mining sector, the project pipeline has been shut down since the last financial crisis. With diminishing reserves and growing demand, there is now a need to re-open the project pipeline. The issue now become this: how do you do so without spilling red ink.
In the last 10 years, there has been a seismic shift, a step change, on the non-technical (surface) risks that projects now encounter, and even more so for new greenfield projects. Risk identification, assessment and management is a central proficiency required to reopen the project pipeline. This presentation provides a strategic overview of the required due diligence that needs to be undertaken to better identify, assess and manage these new surface risks.
