MINING PROSPECTS IN RUSSIA
According to the World Mining Data 2015 report Russia holds the 3rd place in the World’s top mineral resources producers following China and the USA. Although Russia’s mining sector holds significant production growth potential, due to its rich mineral deposits, the country’s mining growth output is being held back by the regulatory challenges, Western sanctions and weak mineral prices. To attract new investment the Russian Government is preparing regulatory changes and plans to open bids for the development of Sukhoi Log and other major projects in the Far East and Siberia. With the low rouble costs and capital infusion from Russia’s key trading partners in the East, are the local operators and international investors expecting growth in Russia in 2016?
MINING PROSPECTS IN CENTRAL ASIA
Kazakhstan is fast emerging as a major global presence in the mining industry, and has resources of over seventy metals and minerals, twenty-five of which are mined commercially. Kazakhstan is now the United States’ top supplier of uranium for the country’s nuclear power plants, after overtaking Australia last year, figures published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reveal. Kazakhstan’s gold mining industry has brought in roughly $3.83 billion worth of investments over the last five years, according to the Kazakh Ministry for Investments and Development. In 2014 Kazakhstan started the reform of its Mining Code modelled after Western-Australia’s method for granting subsoil use rights. In 2016-17 Kazakhstan’s Samruk-Kazyna sovereign wealth fund plans IPOs for 43 large state firms via dual listings in Astana and London with the total value of the capital of all the companies slated for sell-off is around 2.5 trillion tenge ($8.1 billion). With 17 Kazakh companies already listed in London, the dual listing MOU signed on 4 November 2015 by The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) with Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) holds huge potential for future business opportunities in Kazakhstan’ natural resources sector.
