Mining 

 
Richard Sharman

 

"The Mining industry is experiencing unprecented change; mining companies are being assessed not only on the basis of financial performance but also on how they manage environmental and social issues.  Sustainable development; commodity price volatility; rising costs; expansion into new developing global markets; raising capital; and mergers and acquisitions are just some of the challenges that test even the most established organisations.  To be successful in this environment, companies need to remain nimble and creative, yet still focused on their goals."

Business Risk Facing the Mining Industry
The global downturn has the industry focusing on risk all over again.  Many industry leaders believe that this is a crisis of confidence more than a crisis of fundamentals. Economics and commodity prices may be beyond the control of the industry.  KPMG surveyed mining industry executives at our Annual Miming Executive Forum and asked them to prioritise the three biggest risks they would be facing in 2012.
