Partner Christina Renner will participate in the 2023 IBA Annual Conference, speaking on the IBA Mining Law Committee panel, New Restrictions for Foreign Investments in Mining. Christina’s panel will meet on Tuesday, October 31 from 5:15–6:30 pm CET.
After an era of globalization, many countries are turning towards securing national supply and looking more critically at dependencies and potential security threats relating to foreign investment in and control of strategic minerals.
The recent adoption of the Inflation Reduction Act in the United States aims to increase US domestic manufacturing capacity and encourage procurement of supplies of critical minerals domestically and from free-trade partners. Together with the recently announced Critical Minerals Strategy in Canada—including the Canadian government’s recent policy restricting foreign state-owned enterprise investments in the critical minerals sector and supply chains—and similar strategies and policies in other nations, investors face unprecedented regulatory, national security, and geopolitical complexity when seeking to invest in and develop critical minerals around the world.
New foreign investment and national security restrictions represent a global shift on who can invest and where, with potential implications for which countries will be poised to take greater advantage of the future green economy. This panel will cover the global impact of these recent developments and how they will shape mineral exploration and exploitation.
