    Industry Report - Starting a New Business Chapter

    The large amount of capital required to establish a new industry operation or acquire an existing mining company poses a substantial barrier to entry for potential entrants. Typically, entry is limited to large, well-established mining companies. In addition, it is generally much cheaper to expand an existing operation, where ore reserves permit, than it is to establish a new mine. This represents another hurdle for potential entrants assessing the viability of establishing a new mining operation. Further, the need for economies of scale presents a major entry barrier to the industry.Other market requirements, such as an in-depth understanding of the industry, and a proven track record as a supplier of mineral ore commodities, represent additional barriers to entry.
