Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:
Mintek says the prospects are perking up for the industrial use of gold.
Dedicated mining permit teams could lead to increased project success.
And, a well-implemented mining cadastre system could improve investment.

The prospects for the greater industrial use of gold are increasing encouragingly, says the top brass of South Africa’s State-owned minerals research organisation Mintek.

De Beers external and corporate affairs executive head Sakhile Ngcobo says the time has come for mining companies to have a dedicated permit team to ensure optimal project success in the current challenging mining environment.

Spatial Dimension CEO Bill Feast said at the recent Streamlining Mining Permit Approvals Africa conference that a well-implemented mining cadastre could make a difference in challenging environments since mining cadastre systems don’t operate in a vacuum, free from the political, regulatory and operational realities of a country.
