"Property Bank" for the raw materials era: Globex Mining combines the best of Franco-Nevada and Altius
The current market phase is a turning point for the global mining industry. While gold prices above USD 5,000 per ounce and a structural copper deficit dominate the headlines in the financial press, traditional explorers are struggling with the harsh reality in the background: drilling costs are skyrocketing, approval processes are taking forever, and the risk of drilling a "dry hole" has never been more expensive than it is today.
