Nurturing responsible stewardship and sustainable partnerships

“The mining industry has driven a heightened commitment to responsible land and community stewardship. Mining companies have increasingly prioritized embedding these values into their project planning and incorporating them during operations, recognizing the importance of obtaining and maintaining their social license to operate.”

Todd Glindeman, Mining Market Sector Director, Brown and Caldwell

“There has been a lot of discussion, particularly in the Western United States, about using closed or reclaimed facilities for secondary use, such as solar facilities. Tailings facilities generally present vast acreage and flat areas, which are ideal for the construction of these types of facilities.”

Peter Kowalewski, Founding Principal, Tierra Group International

“Building strong relationships with regulators right from the outset remains a critical strategy. It fosters trust and transparency and paves the way for smoother project execution.”

Alan Driscoll, VP and Director of Mining Services, Forsgren Associates

“Mines are increasingly aware of their social impact and the importance of maintaining a balance with the environment. Moreover, there is a growing effort to educate younger generations about the significance of mining and the role of natural resources in our lives.”

Robert Livermore, Mining Director, Civil & Environmental Consultants (CEC)
