Mining & Metals

Mining represents a significant proportion of the world economy, attracting massive investment and driving growth for many countries, Canada being a prime example. Boasting 60 different metals and minerals, a deep-rooted expertise in mining, and a steadfast commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, 90% of the world’s leading mining companies operate in the country.

Global economic dynamics have created a changing operational environment for mining companies in Canada and beyond. This environment, characterized by price fluctuations, increasing costs, operational challenges, progressive regulations, and a competitive labour market, presents unique challenges and opportunities. Amidst these, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations have emerged at the forefront.

In response to this operational environment, companies are investing in the recruitment and development of high-quality global talent, equipped with the skills to deliver productivity gains, foster innovation, and achieve cost reductions. At the same time, these companies are prioritizing new ways of extracting minerals and metals in an environmentally sustainable and economically viable manner.  

Odgers Berndtson’s Mining & Metals Practice comprises 40 industry experts who partner with leading mining and metals companies worldwide, from the explorers to the major mining houses. We have a global presence and network, with offices strategically located in countries with significant mining activities.
