Description
Mining is a high-risk, capital-intensive industry, in which security and continuity of tenure are said to rank immediately after geology in assessing the viability of new mining projects. In the developing world, high levels of administrative discretion, coupled with an outbreak of resource nationalism during the recently ended commodity boom, potentially undermine these principles. A multidisciplinary panel examines how a best practice regulatory model can be developed for the international mining industry which promotes objective decision-making and secure rather than precarious tenure.
