Session Details
Geopolitical jostling for critical metals has created a new age of instability for mining projects and the capital behind them. Even mining-friendly jurisdictions are not immune to the risk of sovereign intervention. This panel examines country risk from a 360 degree perspective, providing tools for deal structuring to price and mitigate risk at the capital allocation stage, to deal protections with sovereign counterparties, to managing disputes and negotiations with sovereigns and state-owned entities while keeping investors aligned, how to raise capital when a project is in distress, and - if a dispute cannot be resolved - the practical realities of bringing legal proceedings and enforcing against a sovereign party, including what recovery actually looks like for owners and investors.
2 p.m. - 3 p.m.
