南非矿业正处在经济衰退状态，许多矿业公司努力赚取利润，政府则一再拖延修改法律框架。
矿产和石油资源开发法修正案以及矿业宪章完成的延迟造成的不确定性，使投资者灰心并脱离现有的矿业，因为不能规划未来的生产经营。
除了未完成的矿业立法外，南非矿业行业也受到重大税收影响。投资者在获取矿产利润前有多达6个流程的税款被征收。这些税包括对设备的采购和员工所得税之类的税种。
当地矿业生存的关键是寻找和保证新的资本注入，经营者们需要认识到在吸引投资方面他们是在与国际矿商竞争。
由于目前的立法起草得很糟糕，导致它是难以理解的，从而留出空间的差异。专业人士建议实现本地矿业模式的转变是实施一个“世界级的监管环境”。
South African mining industry is in a state of financial decline, with many mining companies struggling to turn a profit and government stalling the amended regulation framework, according to financial services provider Nedbank Capital mining and metals investment banker Paul Miller.
He addressed key mining industry role players at the thirty-second edition of the mining networking platform the Africa Mining Network, which was held on Thursday at the Wanderers Club, in Illovo, Johannesburg.
Miller said amendments to the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act and the delay in finalising the Mining Charter were resulting in uncertainties that discouraged investors and left existing mine operators with doubts about how to plan for the future.
In addition to a sketchy legislative environment, the South African mining sector was also being affected with significant taxation, with as much as six streams of taxes being levied on miners in various aspects of their business before mine owners had access to profits.
These included taxes on things like the purchasing of equipment and paying income tax for members of staff.
The key to the survival of the local mining sector was finding and securing new capital, said Miller, adding that South African mine managers needed to realise that they had to compete with international miners in terms of attracting investment.
Miller suggested that what was required to achieve a turnaround in local mining business models was the implementation of a “world-class regulatory environment”, as current standing legislation was poorly drafted, resulting in it being difficult to understand, thereby leaving room for discrepancy.
