Mining.comAccording to a report by Bain & Company, as cited by Mining.com, the mining industry is experiencing a surge in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) as companies seek to secure scale and resilience through acquisitions rather than greenfield development. Rising costs, tight supply, and demand for transition minerals are driving this trend. The report estimates that global mining transactions valued above $500 million will rise about 45% in 2025 compared to 2024. Notable deals, such as Anglo American's proposed merger with Teck, highlight the shift towards strategic M&A as a core growth strategy. Successful examples, like Agnico Eagle's merger with Kirkland Lake Gold, demonstrate the potential for strong execution to drive value creation.
