New signs of hope for junior miners, says Minerals Council’s Chabana

Despite the sector having been relatively unorganised and with junior mining companies rarely given an opportunity to influence national mining policy, Minerals Council South Africa public affairs and transformation senior executive Tebello Chabana believes there are “new signs of hope and progress” for junior and emerging miners in South Africa. He says junior and emerging miners have felt frustration for a long time at the lack of support for the junior mining sector and their exclusion from mining policy debates.
