Green shoots for SA’s junior miners

In this edition of Business Law Focus host, Evan Pickworth, interviews Mihlali Sitefane, founder of Sitef & Co. They discuss the future of junior mining against the backdrop of weak economic growth and regulatory complexity.

Sitefane explains that while junior miners in South Africa face challenges such as navigating complex regulatory frameworks, securing investment, and meeting ESG requirements, there are also significant opportunities, particularly with the increasing demand for critical metals and ongoing efforts to create a more conducive environment for exploration.
