Mining companies are faced with a fast-changing world, and escalating business risks and obligations on a range of fronts, at a time when they are looking to streamline costs and extract maximum value from resources, assets and services.
Strong risk management processes more than ever will help define resilient mines, and miners. After a period of unprecedented losses in the mining sector, and at a time of increasing insurance complexity and cost, understanding insurance options and legal requirements are an essential part of this picture.
Mining Journal's timely and authoritative examination of current risk management and corporate governance trends, challenges and requirements, and the outlook for insurance markets, via a February 26 webinar held in conjunction with leading international legal firm Holman Fenwick Willan, will spotlight the major factors that must be considered by mining companies as they stress test their insurance procurement and risk management processes.
