Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Operational complexity is increasing as mines age and reserves deplete, with regulatory compliance delays cited as the leading contributor. The survey also found that investors are becoming more selective as commodity prices diverge, while many operators are seeking funding from equipment manufacturers or sovereign wealth funds.
