The Fraser Institute, Canada’s leading public policy think tank and the intellectual home for three of our policy experts, has teamed up with CRU Group, the leading independent business analysis and consultancy group focused on metals and mining, again to host their third Mining Business Risks Summit, to be held in Toronto, Canada, 1-2 November 2012.

According to the conference hosts, miners’ concerns are mounting as uncertainty rises on all fronts:

• Are the heady days of the commodity boom ending?
• Which way will the global economy tip—and what does it mean for mining?
• Are the stakes getting higher as resource nationalization gathers momentum?

These, and many other questions will be discussed by industry experts at this year’s Summit. For more information, click here.
