Sustainable mining possible and necessary for global growth – Wanblad

The mining industry is experiencing a period of unprecedented and protracted change, and many in the mining industry are facing considerable challenges as many commodities are facing revenue headwinds owing to volatile macroeconomic conditions. "All leaders in the industry need to consider how to position the industry for the sustainable growth that is genuinely in the earth. The mineral resources are present and needed, and it behooves the industry to work out a way with the market to mine them sustainably," diversified mining company Anglo American CE Duncan Wanblad told delegates at the recent Joburg Indaba mining conference.
