As traditional finance sources decline, miners are beginning to look elsewhere for alternative sources of financing. M&As, JVs, capital raising, cash discipline, key commodity outlooks, and project developments will be key focus areas at the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) with a three day conference focused on Investment.
The programme features mining and exploration spotlights along with presentations from leading investors and the financial services industry to discuss strategies for project development, productivity and expansion.
Explorers, producers and investors should attend this investment conference to better understand:
- Growth and expansion plans of mid-tier and major mining companies;
- How to best deal with red tape, tenement issues and sovereign risks;
- Cross-border transactions, and what interest international investors have for local projects; and
- Criteria for Mergers & Acquisitions, Joint Ventures and forming alliances.
Designed for explorers, miners, investors, banks and the professional services’ industry, the Investment conference will also include discussions on capex evaluations, the prioritisation of exploration, and capital raising will be raised in several different formats, and perspectives.
