Toronto partner Brian Graves comments on M&A trends in the mining sector in an interview published in Lexpert’s special mining edition.
He discusses the increased deal activity among mining companies seeking to secure new sources of production, the permitting challenges facing project developers in Canada, and the growing number of investments in mining projects by Indigenous groups.
Brian also notes that foreign buyers may require guidance on how Canada’s regulatory environment differs from jurisdictions where they have previously operated. As a result, M&A counsel may need to involve environmental, Indigenous, tax, financing and other specialists early in the transaction process.
