The report titled ‘Towards a Globally Competitive Minerals and Mining Industry’ said, “A number of leases are due to expire in 2020. With the auction process for these mines still under consideration and given that the process from auctioning a mine to actually commencing operations is long, significant disruption in supply is possible.”
