Deloitte released its 12th annual mining report, “Tracking the Trends 2020.” The report aims to highlight the issues that could have the largest impact on the global mining sector in the coming year and beyond. In this edition, the professional services network notes that while the mining sector has made significant strides to navigate through disruption and volatility, external factors continue to present a challenge.
The report states that an uncertain geopolitical landscape and technological disruption are disruptive factors as are increased demands from communities and investors.
“To thrive, some companies are addressing climate change and investor concerns through decarbonization and uncovering new opportunities through joint ventures.
