Changing global geo-political and economic conditions have resulted in uncertainty for the resources sector over the last few years.
There is now a better balance between the supply and demand of commodities. This said, the pressure remains for mining companies to find ways to be more competitive in an ever-changing world.
With this as context, building a sustainable enterprise is paramount for survival. Companies are focused on decreasing unit costs and improving operational efficiencies. Successful, sustainable enterprises:
- Understand the initial value of a mine project early on, and in order to extract the resources sustainably, find ways to protect and create additional value,
- Take a holistic view to mine planning and, integrate life cycle thinking into existing assets to optimize the overall return on investment for all stakeholders,
- Optimize the use of data and technology to better manage risks and opportunities,
- Leverage existing resources and nearby communities to build high performance teams and partnerships,
- Have an overriding commitment to Health and Safety that is effectively integrated throughout the business
