South Africa's mining industry has traditionally been a significant contributor to the country's GDP. However, in recent years the industry has been in structural decline with around 50000 direct jobs lost in the past two years and real production output down 10% in the same period. Annual capex spending in the past three years has been reduced by 45%. The industry faces significant headwinds currently with 65% of mining output in the top half of the cost curve.

There are numerous reasons for this decline including, amongst others, regulatory uncertainty which has resulted in a decrease in brownfield projects, capex investments and exploration, and poor investor confidence.
