15%–20% average budget overruns are putting nearly $1.5 billion of capital at risk each year across energy and mining projects.
81% of mining sector respondents say investor support is important or very important for higher sustainability performance.
Only 1 in 3 respondents feel they can meaningfully participate in mining decisions, highlighting a major trust gap across the industry.
The median mining project cost overrun in one public-data analysis was 37%, reinforcing how expensive uncertainty and weak confidence can become.
These numbers reflect a larger reality: in mining, confidence matters. Clear communication, convincing value propositions, and credible strategic messaging help companies reduce uncertainty and strengthen long-term support.
