MINING AGENDA

London Mining Agenda - Gus MacFarlane, 22/06/17

The investment climate has become even more uncertain. The Mining Agenda spoke with Verisk Maplecroft metals and mining director Gus MacFarlane to get to the bottom of the changes; finding out what they could mean for the industry, if the rules are likely to be thrown out and how the ministry of mines is likely to react to the criticism?
