EY CANADA & EY AMERICAS MINING AND METALS LEADER, ERNST & YOUNG
"Mining companies should strive to be symbols of performance and global citizenship. Diversity in our sector is not just gender; it should include race, professional background, and creativity."
"We believe there is substantial potential, that if realized, could position Detour Lake as a unique 1 million oz producer with combined parallel open pit and underground operations."
"All eyes are on Côté Gold, which is positioned to become the third-largest gold mine in Canada with a mine life of over 18 years and considerable potential for further growth."
FOUNDER AND CEO, TRIPLE FLAG PRECIOUS METALS CORP.
"Nowadays, there is seldom a sales process for a mine development project where a leading bank will refuse to consider involving a streaming and royalty provider in the capital formation stack."
"With US$508 million left to spend on the Media Luna project south of the river, we have a strong, cash-producing asset at ELG that is financing the construction of our future."
MACIG 2025 - Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide
It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
