JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Market research multinational BMI Research reported on Thursday that there would be a shift in the status quo of mining finance sources, as mineral prices stabilise and edge higher over the coming years. “Majors will continue to rely on equity and debt financing. Mid-cap and small-cap companies, as well as those looking at higher-risk exploration projects, will benefit from new players taking a greater stake in the sector, including private equity and sovereign wealth funds,” BMI said in its latest ‘Mining Finance Industry Trend Analysis’ report.
