More funding mechanisms needed to support juniors in early stage exploration, panel says
Published: 22 May 24
South Africa needs more funding mechanisms to support junior mining at an early stage of exploration, Bedrock Capital CEO Messu Mwaniki said on May 21 at the Junior Indaba in Johannesburg. “I think by now we should have much more junior mining funds available, which can be seen to come on board, from a private equity perspective. As a junior miner, at best, your mindset should be on private equity,” he said.

Expert suggests new ways junior miners can classify resources
Published: 22 May 24
A key issue with all mineral projects is the quantification of risk and uncertainty, which has always been narrowed down to grade estimation issues; however, just basing the mineral resource category on drill spacing and a competent person’s judgment on resource boundaries is no longer good enough. Rather, it should be statistically based, since juniors could not afford to undertake vast amounts of drilling, EY natural resource principal technical consultant Andy Clay said during the Joburg Indaba, held on May 21 and 22.
