Various challenges are threatening the existence of junior miners in South Africa, mining and resources growth specialist company To-The-Point Growth Specialists partner Bernard Swanepoel told guests at the thirty-fifth edition of mining networking platform, the Africa Mining Network (AMN), on Wednesday evening. Speaking on the topic ‘Why are there no dung beetles in elephant country? Some challenges facing the junior mining sector in South Africa’, he told key mining industry roleplayers that South Africa’s mineral-rich orebodies continue to present great opportunities in terms of available resources and should, therefore, be attracting more “dung beatles” – junior and prospecting miners than it currently is.
