THERE are some encouraging signs for mining after an uncertain 2012 with commodity prices recovering, Chinese growth picking up and economies in the US and Europe less troubled than previously. If South East Asia’s largest economy, Indonesia, is to gain full benefits of a mining recovery, the remainder of 2013 is a vital time as the country prepares for several imminent mining legislative changes.

2012 saw economic uncertainty around the world exacerbated by growing financial troubles in Europe and deliberate slowing of China’s growth.

The overall downward trend in the mining industry and investment has not been aided by an increasing amount of resource nationalism around the world.

THE very nature of the coalition government formed after Mongolia’s parliamentary election seems certain to result in an increase in politization, polarization, confrontation and divisiveness in the resource-rich North Asian nation. In terms of mineral resources, the coalition will be under substantial pressure to be more populist with policies and, therefore, resource nationalism will be a greater risk, investors will be a lot less willing to part with funds to support Mongolian mining projects and there will be elevated levels of volatility for the country’s resource equities.
