Mining and Metals

Can you see the future of mining? PwC's tailored mining service will help you harness the disruptive forces of technology and political change that are reshaping the future of governments, business sectors and the mining industry.

Whilst the mining sector has weathered the storm of recent years, the industry is facing era-defining challenges as the world transitions to a low-carbon, sustainable economy.

But with change comes opportunity. Now is the time to make a big, bold pivot towards the future. For example, making Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) issues the core of organisational strategy gives miners a compelling path to build trust, grow and produce

Our community of solvers and mining experts help you look into the future of mining and answer the difficult questions that put your business on the path to sustained success. We do this by drawing on the experience of specialists from across our global network to provide you with insights that help you understand the powerful forces reshaping the mining industry and work alongside you to navigate them.

We will help you understand issues such as what industry executives can do today to explore and prepare for the mining industry of tomorrow, how to imbed ESG into your strategy, using data to enhance operating productivity, and how drones and IoT technologies can transform the way you gather and use intelligence. Just some of the ways we can support miners:

Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) We help you embed ESG into your corporate strategies so that you can realise new opportunities and future growth. To support this ESG journey we can provide end-to-end transformation and help you establish and build trust and credibility in the mining industry with our rigorous, transparent reporting and assurance programs. ESG is here to stay and we can help you make sense of it. Infrastructure We work together with you to deliver complex mining infrastructure projects end to end. These projects create real value and tangible outcomes for your company and the communities they affect. From strategy to final handover, our Integrated Infrastructure team works alongside you, the government and the community to build Australia’s future. Assurance Here we help you navigate regulatory complexity and strengthen trust and transparency. We do this by conducting an internal audit, an external financial statement audit and risk assurance services, including industry-focussed services such as risk and controls optimisation. Consulting We give your mining organisation the tools and knowledge you need to work smarter and grow faster by working with your team to build a more effective organisation, innovate your business model, reduce costs and manage risk & regulation through our mining-specific consulting services. Indigenous Consulting Our majority indigenous owned, led and staffed consulting organisation works with government and mining organisations like yours to power positive change for indigenous people, communities and your business.

Cyber Security Miners must have the right planning, governance and cybersecurity frameworks to ensure that the digital transformation of their operations is a success. We can help you understand how cyber savviness can protect your IT and OT operations from malicious intent. We translate our deep understanding of the threats and risks on the security frontline and within emerging technology into meaningful insights that work for your mining business. People & Organisation Given the growing call for flexible working, miners need to consider how their current plans for the future of work will affect their ability to retain and attract top talent over the medium to long term. We help you to retain, attract and realise and discover the potential of your people by providing a single integrated people consulting and solutions service. Taxation Combining the skills of financial and tax specialists with those of economists, lawyers and our other in-house specialists, we help solve your mining-specific tax problems from the ideas stage through to execution. Mining companies should be proud to report the taxes they pay and the social benefits these outlays deliver—such as funding hospitals, infrastructure improvements and schools—and they should join with local governments in helping to create tax policies. We can help you implement these strategies. Legal Bringing you deep expertise in corporate and commercial law, delivered alongside leading experts in all our other disciplines, our Legal team delivers innovative, commercially aware solutions to some of the most challenging mining business issues. Deals Whether your mining business is domestic, outbound or inbound we will work with you to raise capital and complete acquisitions, divestitures, and strategic alliances. We bring our deep experience with the mining industry and our international networks to help you succeed across the deal lifecycle. We can also help you understand and harness the upside of making ESG-led deals.
