Global mining-sector resurgence predicted

Given that the global economy is expected to grow by 3.4% this year and 3.5% in 2018, the health of global macroeconomics is good, which bodes well for a resurgence in the global mining industry during the course of this year. This is according to Standard Bank mining and metals research head Tim Clark, who was addressing a media briefing last week ahead of the Investing in African Mining Indaba, which will be held from February 6 to 9, in Cape Town.
