Mining

The complexities of mining project lifecycles require understanding that goes beyond traditional ways of managing risk. Our 300 dedicated global specialists deliver robust, cost-effective risk management and risk transfer programs that enhance project resilience.

The global mining industry faces many challenges: commodity price fluctuation, remote operations and extended supply chains, COVID-19 impacts, cost management, access to financing, and increasing expectations around social, economic, and environmental engagement with host communities and regulators.

Meanwhile, investors demand operational rigor and capital discipline to ensure appropriate returns from capital-intensive assets and projects.

Marsh’s mining and minerals specialists help companies large and small avoid, manage, and transfer risk across the entire mining lifecycle, from junior exploration to mine closure.

With an in-depth understanding of the industry and broad advisory capabilities, we support miners, contractors, traders, and mining financiers with anticipating and proactively addressing the changing risk profile of your projects and the environments in which you operate.
