Mining companies around the world have faced many changes over the last few months. We’ve seen mining declared essential in some jurisdictions and non-essential in others. This session will explore how mining has been impacted, including addressing global disputes, how the markets are reacting (and it’s not all bad!) and what opportunities we are seeing. This program will be moderated by Alison Lacy
and John Turner.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the SA Mining Industry
Godfrey Malesa and Mmaphuti Morolong
A Regulatory Overview: We will consider how South Africa has dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the South African mining industry. As part of this discussion, we will focus on the recent government regulations for the mining industry, the relief provided to mining companies in an effort to mitigate the risk on the industry and the possible challenges faced/to be faced by mining companies as they resume their operations. We will also consider the health and safety issues which mining companies will need to consider as part of the ramp up. Could the South African government have dealt with issues affecting the industry differently and what are the key issues facing the industry as it emerges from the lockdown?
