"In the face of softer commodities, mining company CEOs are reworking their mine plans to generate the net cash flows demanded by financial markets," said Tony Robson, Co-Head Mining Research, BMO Capital Markets.
"Lacklustre commodity prices, caused mostly by slower Chinese growth and increased production in the West, has resulted in miners - large and small - cutting expenditures," added David Haughton, Co-Head Mining Research, BMO Capital Markets. "At the same time, share prices have slumped, making it harder - although not impossible - to raise equity."

-- David Haughton, Co-Head Mining Research, Precious Metals Analyst
-- Tony Robson, Co-Head Mining Research, Base Metals Analyst
