Stakeholder engagement in the mining sector is a vital aspect of responsible and sustainable mining practices. Rebecca Darling, our Group Head, Social Performance, recently spoke about this topic at The Foundation for Natural Resources and Energy Law’s Special Institute on Human Rights, Natural Resources and Energy Law. Led by Emilie Bundock (Fasken), Rebecca and fellow panelist Céline da Graça Pires (BSR) dove into why stakeholder engagement has emerged as a strategic imperative for the mining industry, driven by the need for sustainable operations, regulatory compliance, and positive relationships with communities and other stakeholders.

Powering on Without Power When disaster strikes, the true test of an organisation's resilience begins. That's exactly the situation a gold mining operation in remote Western Australia found themselves in during the height of summer. A gas plant failure had suddenly cut power to a significant portion of the mine site, threatening to grind production to a halt for up to 2 days. With millions in potential losses on the line, this enterprise couldn't afford any downtime. Read the case study to learn how operations were able to resume in just 6 days - a testament to the power of proactive crisis planning and an empowered, well-rehearsed response team. https://lnkd.in/ehqY9nC6 #OperationalResilience #CrisisManagement #BusinessContinuity

AMEC (Association of Mining and Exploration Companies) CEO Warren Pearce is quoted in Business News WA today, arguing against the need for Federal Aboriginal Heritage legislation in WA. “The mining and exploration industry will not support new Federal legislation that increases the requirements on companies or duplicates existing State protections." "All that will do is add more time and cost to industry, slow exploration and project development, and ultimately deny opportunities for regional and remote Australia.” Read the full article https://ow.ly/rbh450PmsNa #ACHA #advocacymatters #advocacyinaction #mineralexploration

As mining and exploration companies, you know the importance of securing land access agreements for your operations. But have you considered the role of effective and fair negotiation in this process? As a problem-solving negotiator with experience in facilitating the conclusion of land access agreements, I understand the need for efficient management of distributive bargaining between parties while also creating value for them. When it comes to land access agreements, this means: 1) searching for value-creating trades, 2) demonstrating an understanding of the landholder’s and community's story and priorities, and 3) establishing an effective relationship with the landholder or community. To secure land access agreements, it's crucial for mining and exploration companies to engage with the landholders in a meaningful and respectful way. By demonstrating an understanding of the landholder’s values and concerns and by building a relationship based on trust and respect, you can increase the chances of a successful and timely outcome for all parties. If you're interested in learning more about how to navigate the conclusion of land access agreements, don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm here to help you effectively progress your operations while also building positive relationships with the landholders and communities you work with. #miningindustry #mineralexploration #communityengagement #alternativedisputeresolution #negotiationstrategies
