Research and Markets: The Mining Sector Seeks Human Capital Analyzes How the Scarcity of Qualified Professionals Impacts t

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0abe4b/the_mining_sector) has announced the addition of the "The Mining Sector Seeks Human Capital" report to their offering.

Just 11 months after the international financial crisis flared up, copper was back at US$2.50 per pound and gold was rallying to consolidate at US$900 an ounce, thanks to the confidence that gradually returned to traders. Now the scenario is even more auspicious: copper is again hovering around US$4 per pound and projects that were suspended because of the crisis are now back on track, while players on the world stage are eagerly backing the development of new exploration and expansion initiatives.

Nevertheless, four years after the onset of the economic turmoil, the shortage of professionals (mining engineers, geologists, metallurgists and technicians) and the low number of students enrolled in these degree programs remains a structural problem that affects the entire industry, arousing great concern among experts.

This report analyzes how the scarcity of qualified professionals impacts the mining sector in Latin America and other parts of the world.
