Prospector News Publisher, Michael Fox talks with Cynthia Urda Kassis, the Co-Head of the Mining and Metals Group of Shearman & Sterling. With the all the western government focus on finding politically friendly jurisdictions for the development of the critical metals needed for the decarbonization of the economy, we discuss how we are actually going to fund these projects.

Within the discussion we discuss how the goals are to reduce political risk in the projects; The role of ESG in getting projects funded; is Gov’t incentives (the carrot) having a beneficial effect on the investment community; and finally are moves such as Canada’s forced divestment by of mining companies by state owned entities (the Stick) an effective method of repatriating these metals.

Cynthia will be hosting a round table in New York hosted by the New York section of the SME. This round-table and other presentations will be hosted on demanded starting on January 10, 2023.
