In a disciplined capital environment, only projects and operating assets that demonstrate credibility, cost realism and regulatory certainty will attract and sustain investment. Capital providers and shareholders are prioritising quality, governance, balance sheet strength and delivery confidence, while mining companies must navigate permitting complexity, cost inflation and execution risk across both development pipelines and existing portfolios. 

IMARC 2026 explores how the industry can restore capital confidence and accelerate project pipelines by strengthening bankability, aligning capital allocation with long-term strategy and delivering projects with certainty and discipline; ensuring sustainable returns for shareholders and broader stakeholders.

• Accessing capital in a selective market
• Defining what makes a project investment-ready
• Permitting and regulatory certainty as capital enablers
• Capital allocation, cost realism and return expectations
• Execution credibility and delivery discipline
