Prospects of global mining in 2010

After serious financial crisis, global economy stabilized step by step and revived slowly. Production, trade and consumption of minerals increased monthly, and the prices rebound. Mining investment will return to the level before the crisis, but the possible inflation brought by the excessive stimulus policy will influence the mining capital market. Major mining projects progress well, but non-productive factor will bring negative influence to the global mining. New energy and material is the only way to low carbon economy and the new direction to the future mining industry. China should choose the right way for the development of mining industry, and take the initiative in the constantly changing world.
