Nachdem die Erzvorräte in “traditional” mining countries sich allmählich erschöpfen, verlagert sich die Exploration und der Erzabbau auf neue Minen mehr und mehr nach Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and other “new frontier” regions.
Somit wäre das “political risk” ein nicht zu unterschätzender Beurteilungsfaktor.
• The recent difficulties Newmont, Oxus Gold and others have experienced over operations in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan concerning disputes over various agreements with the governments of those countries;
• The various troubles that Anvil Mining has experienced in the DR Congo over allegations of human rights abuses over the past year;
• The strikes that have affected BHP’s Escondida mine in Chile and affected the price of copper;
• Recent threats by Bolivia’s President Evo Morales to ‘nationalise’ mining concessions, particularly those operated by Glencore.
Also Europa, USA und Canada bevorzugen ?
