Sponsored by:
Exploration, development and mining are capital-intensive. Exploration companies are not revenue generating and must rely on external funding to finance exploration activities. Producing companies will likely require additional funds during their evolution, whether to finance initial construction, expand operations, or acquire new assets. Companies have many options to finance ranging from conventional debt, issuing equity, and alternative sources such as royalties and streaming. As mining capital markets evolve so do the available financing structures – all have benefits and pitfalls.

THU - Events
The mineral exploration and development industry is a key leader in social innovation here in Canada and around the world, where exploration and mining projects can make a difference to the communities and Indigenous peoples where they operate. This session will examine the theme of establishing and maintaining a social license to operate both in Canada and internationally by highlighting successful examples and exploring the future of innovative approaches to social engagement. A keynote speaker will set the stage for two panel discussions – one on establishing a social license and the other on maintaining a social license - during exploration and development projects.
