Mine streaming series
Australia | Publication | May 2019
In this global series, we look at recent trends in streaming, including the emergence of streams on new battery commodities, and the move by mining companies to limit the ‘upside’ that is sold to stream purchasers. We also review the steps taken by stream purchasers to move away from bank-like security to consider security substitutes such as staged milestone-related instalments of the upfront payment.
Across our offices we have leading experience in mine streaming, having advised dozens of issuers and purchasers throughout the world. Mine streams are complicated forward sale contracts, with many sector-specific provisions. It is a growth area and one that is evolving.
Why are there fewer streaming transactions in Australia than North America?

European Court of Human Rights delivers ground-breaking climate change decision
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
