Canada and Australia Still Punch Up in Mining M&A

Mining is a global business with huge implications for the global powers, and as such the USA and China are appropriately represented in the top 5 for global mining mergers and acquisitions, as the global powers via for supply of critical metals for their economic and strategic security. 

Canada and Australia are resource powers in their own rights and continue to punch above their weight class in mining deal flow, taking the 2 and 4 position for global mining M&A activity. This is great for these two relatively small economies and for western economic interests in general.

Will China and regional partners such as Russia, South Africa and Saudi Arabia continue to grow their influence in mining deal making? This is a topic we will watch very closely.
