Nivaash Singh
Co-head: Mining and Critical Minerals
In the last 12 months, the price of gold has soared to USD5 000 per ounce, breaking all records. This surge has triggered tectonic shifts in global markets, driving unprecedented cash flow generation and skewing valuations of mining assets.
Rishal Maharaj
Sector Lead: Mining and Critical Minerals
The companies that emerge strongest won’t be remembered for aggressive expansion at the peak of the cycle, but for deliberate, strategic investment.
Matthew Stretch
Principal: Mining and Critical Minerals
As the global race for critical minerals accelerates, balancing opportunity with certainty will determine whether this moment becomes one of shared prosperity or another missed chance.
Karabo Moeletsi
Principal: Mining and Critical Minerals
While many mining projects promise jobs and community upliftment, what matters is evidence. That starts with setting baselines before a project begins or, for existing operations, as early as possible.
Cathy Nader
Principal: Mining and Resources
Mining leaders across the continent face a cost environment that has shifted more in the past 5 years than in the preceding decade. Conversations once focused on market outlooks now centre on staying competitive as input costs outpace commodity prices.
Tshepo Pitse
Principal: Mining and Resources
What has changed isn't volatility itself, but how projects must now be financed. Capital structure, once a technical detail buried in planning documents, is now central to competitiveness.
Jean-Pierre Smith
Principal: Corporate Finance
Strategic acquisitions aren't replacing organic growth – they're redefining how miners build resilience in an environment where certainty carries a premium.
African Mining Indaba and the 121 Mining Investment Conference
3-6 February 2025

Meet our team of experts
Nivaash Singh
Co-head: Mining and Resources
'This year brings different challenges and chances for mining in South Africa. We are dealing with key problems in transport, freight, and logistics, while rising geopolitical risks could impact capital movement into the area. Mining firms and host governments need to work together more to deal with the instability of important minerals.’
Cathy Nader
Principal: Mining and Resources
'Commercial bank debt remains the cheapest form of funding when one considers the liquidity sources available in mining companies. On that spectrum of funding sources, we see equity as the most expensive and commercial bank debt as the cheapest.'
Rivashni Naidoo
Principal: Mining and Resources
'Geopolitical risk impacts commodity prices, the supply and demand dynamic, offtake agreements and trade relationships, which influence the profitability and sustainability of mining operations.'
Desigan Soobramoney
Divisional Executive: Client Coverage
'Transparency is key to meaningful engagement. Including community representatives in key decisions like land use and environmental conservation fosters community involvement and builds trust.'
Tshepo Pitse
Principal: Mining and Resources
'Many projects fail, not due to what’s beneath the ground, but because of what is missing in the plans. A DFS should map the route from concept to execution, yet without a funding strategy woven in, it risks leaving projects stranded.'
Karabo Moeletsi
Principal: Mining and Resources
'As the world moves from fossil fuels to renewable energy, one thing is clear: the green energy shift cannot occur without mining.'
Jean-Pierre Smith
Principal: Corporate Finance
'A caveat to the recent demand for critical minerals is that miners are hesitant to reach far beyond their knowledge. They tend to focus on commodities where they are familiar with the process methodologies, demands, and applications.'

Decarbonisation
Most mining companies have adopted a strategy to ‘decarbonise’ through adopting, amongst others, renewable energy solutions and some are raising debt for this purpose which in turn is creating opportunities for Sustainability Linked Loans.
Battery minerals
Surge in demand for battery storage solutions in the energy sector continues to drive demand for mining commodities for renewable energy projects and EV demand.
Freight & logistics
Mining companies are reliant on efficient and effective freight and logistics corridors for the successful evacuation of its commodities.
All-in-sustaining costs containment
Mining companies need to carefully manage their AISC structures, given the steep rise in inflation, to ensure they are cash generative through-the-cycle.
