Mitigating the Risk of a ‘Rise and Stall’ for the Australian Gold Industry

Australia

The Australian gold industry is at a crossroads. Exploration companies are facing not only the technical challenges of seeking out gold deposits beneath cover – but also face great difficulty in accessing sufficient risk capital in order to continue a meaningful exploration effort. Gold projects face stringent development hurdles at a time of volatile prices and escalating construction costs – with new Australian gold projects, for example, competing for skilled labour against both the giant LNG projects and the burgeoning iron ore sector.
