MONTHLY CONTENT
REGIONAL ROUND-UP 18
Veteran resources journalist Ross Louthean leads this month’s global wrap with reports on AusIMM’s New Zealand resources conference. The country has had a complicated relationship with mining in recent years with previous governments hostile towards new developments. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has been more welcoming during his term but with the Government facing a resurgent opposition at the polls in November, could the hopes of a mining revival in NZ be dashed?
COVER 26
There are few conferences prepared to take on African mining’s most complicated issues, but with its broad spectrum of participants, Africa Down Under can ensure different stakeholders are heard on a range of topics. This year’s conference saw high-powered debates on hot-button subjects from artisanal mining and local content laws, to the exploration pipeline and infrastructure gap. The Paydirt editorial team provides full coverage of the panel discussions from every angle.
ADU REVIEW 36
The panel discussions were just one aspect of a conference which attracted 1,500 delegates, including more than 800 from across 23 African countries, a sold-out exhibition and a plethora of side events. Our review of the 70 presentations spans nearly 50 pages of this edition.
NSW SPOTLIGHT 84
On the home front, New South Wales is beginning to punch its weight on critical minerals. It has been a long time coming but Australia’s most populous state appears to have finally struck a balance between the needs of various land-users, opening the gate for a new generation of critical mineral and precious metal projects. Leading our focus is Michael Cameron’s visit to Larvotto Resources’ Hillgrove gold-antimony project near Armidale.
