Key Issues in Latin America 1. Strong legislation and poor bureaucracies to enforce. 2. Lack of state presence in remote areas: know what dark forces are active in your area: narcos, illegal mining, contraband. 3. Great community relations a must but not a guarantee. 4. Water WILL be used as a pretext to attack the project. 5. Permitting will take 4x longer than you planned, so budget for it. 6. NGO's can be your friend. 8
Recent Trends in Mining Mining companies have faced a challenging market environment over the past two years. Key trends that EDC has observed include: 1.Escalating Costs Input costs for mining construction and production remain elevated through, with labour escalation and steel prices being major contributors. Remote mine locations are impacting capital and operating costs (e.g. increased infrastructure, higher opex) 2.Sources of Equity / Streaming Agreements Junior mining players continue to struggle to secure equity funding in the current market environment. Private equity funds are beginning to explore the space, and proposing unconventional project financing structures. Resource streaming agreements are beginning to surface in project financing structures, especially in junior financings. 3.Grades & Cost Curve Positions Ore grades have been decreasing, resulting in new mines and expansions which are positioned relatively higher on global cost curves. 4.Resource Nationalism Governments are seeking larger stakes and higher returns from projects 9
