Global M&A: Outlook for Mining

Mining companies around the world are facing business uncertainty due to the ongoing volatility in demand and prices. As the economic downturn takes its toll on profits, many companies are focusing on slashing production, reducing operating costs, and increasing efficiency. Given the access problems associated with new assets, M&A is emerging as a preferred business strategy for those looking to acquire new assets, as opposed to traditional means such as exploration and extraction. Global M&A: Outlook for Mining highlights how mining companies can use M&A strategies to generate higher value for shareholders.

The report offers insights into the following:

  • Challenges and opportunities in the global mining industry
  • The ongoing need for more M&A in the industry
  • Prospects for the industry in specific regions, such as Asia-Pacific
  • The role of private and state-owned enterprises in shaping the industry.
