Objective
To provide local politicians and employees of municipalities with an understanding of good practices for governing exploration activities as well as the start-up of sustainable mining operations.
The solution (technology)
The project will bring together a diverse range of experts, from a wide range of organisations, as well as NGOs. This diverse grouping will assess the concerns of various stakeholders about the initiation of exploration or mining activities as well as assess contemporary knowledge and cases about good practices for exploration and mining. These assessments will then be developed into an information package, comprising advice and case examples, to local politicians and municipalities’ employees for governing exploration and the start-up of sustainable mining activities.
