• Impacts the risk and costs of capital projects
• Directly increases the cost of doing business
• Bribery and corruption can take centre stage
Talent Availability
● Talent availability remains one of the major risks for mining businesses
● Skilled worker shortages are a result of:● Benefits generated by mining businesses
● Remote locations
● Aging workforce
● Lack of interest from Generation Y
● Overloaded supply chains will further be outsourced
● New skills required to meet globalisation and new technologies

● More expensive projects● Delay (or even cancellation) of new projects
● Higher operational costs
● Safety impact● Decreased productivity and quality
Sustainable DevelopmentPeople’s Safety
●Sustainable Development has taken center stage:Economy, Environment and Society
● Communities, Governments, Shareholders and
Customers require mining companies to comply with (implicit and non-implicit) sustainable development:● Costs of non compliance are increasing● Mining licenses and customers are being lost, as is shareholder trust● Affects talent recruitment
● Mining companies are required to obtain the “social license” to operate:● Companies provide social dividends for employee health and safety, the
environment and host community

Sustainable DevelopmentPeople’s Safety
● Mining employs 1% of the global labor force, and
generates 8% of the fatal accidents (Source: International Labor
Organization)
● Approximately 12,000 people die per year in Mining accidents
● Lack of information makes it hard to evaluate improvements
● Global Reporting Initiative delivering a sustainable development reporting framework

Sustainable DevelopmentPeople’s Safety
● China accounts for 40% of global coal output, and
responsible for 80% of global mining deaths yearly● China: over 3,000 people die from
mining accidents yearly
● South Africa: fatalities decreased by 2.4% to 128 in 2010
● Australia: fatalities decreased 63% to 6 in 2009-2010
● USA: mine deaths increased by 115% in 2010 to 77

Implications to Miningtr
end
● Operational cost increase
● Cost of accidents or safety breaches well beyond the cost of the instance itself, but may severely impact
production and share value● People’s safety will impact the social license to
operate
Sustainable Development: Environment
● Environment
protection impacts the whole community in a direct and indirect way● Government, communities,
shareholders and customers are forcing commitment to sustainable development

Sustainable Development: Environment
● The next 10 years environmental sustainable development will shift: ● Understanding and setting standards to
implementing standards
● Reposition to a proactive positive impact● From large companies to the whole industry
● Mining companies, government and
communities all responsible

Implications to Miningtr
end
● Mining project costs will substantially increase● Impact will affect new investments● Early development of government and community
partnerships● Adoption and compliance to global reporting standards
Commodity Business Volatility
● Mining has become a volatile business● Prices, shares, currencies
● Commodity prices are influenced by several factors● Business environment
● Geopolitical: Natural and human created
● Economical: Supply and demand
● Commodities used as financial instruments (ETF)
● No evidence that speculation fueled the spike in commodity prices and volatility. Demand-supply shock did
●Currency exchanges fluctuation
