Abstract
Anders Bülow, president of the Swedish base metal mining company Boliden argues that the challenges which the mining and metals industry has to deal with in the coming ten years differ from those faced by other types of business. He specifically analyses three different aspects: new environmental requirements, the more open mining legislation and the long-term weakening in demand for metals in the West combined with a growing demand in Newly Industrialised Countries (NIC).
The article is a revised version of a presentation made by Anders Bülow at a SNS seminar, Leading issues in international mining development, in Gällivare, Sweden, May 31st 1996.
