Mining IQ World Risk Insights 2022 (feat. MineHutte ratings)

A comprehensive annual review of mining risk, including a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction ratings system and an assessment of general business and operating risks and trends.

The Investment Risk Index (IRI) is the underwriting tool published within the Mining IQ World Risk Insights 2022 (feat. MineHutte ratings) and provides jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction ratings across five core areas necessary to consider when assessing mining-related risk: Legal, Governance, Social, Fiscal and Infrastructure. It applies a methodical and scientific approach by combining hard, established risk-related metrics with perceived risk to generate rounded and robust, year-on-year numbers for some 105+ jurisdictions. Perceived risk is measured by the World Risk Survey, completed by more than 170 respondents, who have shared their insight into the risk landscape for their mining jurisdiction. The survey also asks respondents to assess the geology of their host jurisdiction, which we combine with our risk rating to measure the overall opportunity; and a review of the permitting regime, which is a key consideration but falls outside the measurables of the IRI. This year we also asked how well supported respondents felt in their host jurisdictions. Each year we collect some 3,500 unique and aggregated data points, deepening the value of the database with every report published.
