This is necessary as the time difference between APAC and Europe can be rather different and there might be a lag in terms of decision making and dissemination of information. However, with travel restrictions in place and time zone differences, there is a need for a local team moving forward.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 35px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<h5>Differences in Culture, Governance, and Operations<\/h5>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/home.kpmg\/xx\/en\/home\/insights\/2020\/02\/2020-mining-risk-survey-report.html\">survey done by KPMG<\/a>, the following are the top risks faced by mining companies.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Commodity price risk<\/li>\n<li>Permitting Risk<\/li>\n<li>Access to capital, including liquidity<\/li>\n<li>Community Relations &amp; Social Licence to operate<\/li>\n<li>Political Instability<\/li>\n<li>Economic Downturn\/uncertainty<\/li>\n<li>Environmental Risk (New Regulations, Regulatory &amp; compliance changes)<\/li>\n<li>Global Trade War<\/li>\n<li>Ability to access &amp; replace reserves<\/li>\n<li>Tailings Management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As every country and region are different, localization is important for swift decision making and risk management.
