The report presents an overview of impact and benefit agreements (IBAs). These agreements are signed between mining companies and First Nation communities in Canada in order to establish formal relationships between them, to reduce the predicted impact of a mine and secure economic benefit for affected communities. IBAs are increasingly used by First Nations in Canada to influence decision making about resource exploitation in their lands. In negotiating and implementing these agreements, communities are learning important lessons that can help others in Peru or elsewhere in Canada.
Mastering Aboriginal Inclusion in Mining is a module series developed in partnership with the Aboriginal Human Resource Council, the Mining Industry Human Resources (MiHR) and an alliance of more than 20 companies labour organizations and industry associations in the mining sector. Modules and workshops are specifically designed to help mining employers discover their individual business case for inclusion and learn proven tools and tricks for recruiting, retaining and advancing Aboriginal workers.
This guide offers insight on the mining process and how Aboriginal peoples can leverage law and policy to generate economic benefits from mining operation in their region.

The Canadian mining industry has come a long way since coal was discovered on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, around 350 years ago. The extraction of minerals and metals are woven into the history and fabric of our country – many communities such as Glace Bay, Rouyn-Noranda, Val d’Or, Sept-Iles, Labrador City, Timmins, Sudbury and Fort McMurray can trace their roots back to mining and exploration.
This report has been compiled to provide additional guidance for preparing manuals that outline procedures for the safe operation, maintenance and surveillance (OMS) of tailings and water management facilities.
A Guide to the Management of Tailings Facilities provides a basis for the development of customized tailings management systems that address the specific needs of indi- vidual mining companies and local regulatory and community requirements.
This report discusses the mining sector's contribution to the Canadian economy in detail, while exploring certain impacts on communities, the environment, and international markets and development.
