The Canadian mining industry is confronted with community issues over land access, benefits, and environmental risk. The industry needs to develop a strong understanding of how it can contribute more tangible value and assurance of responsible management of the land. Adequate attention to accommodation and rights and title must be accompanied also by transparent collaborative and participatory planning to the benefit of all parties.******The first of two projects in this proposal focuses on mining industry leadership, attempting to characterize attitudes towards adopting the concept of Shared Value, beyond the current fashion of Social Licence to Operate. Many mining communities, particularly First Nations, are in remote locations, often in a state of poverty, and poor health and wellness. Shared value offers the means to collaboratively resolve how the mine can respectfully improve the health and wellbeing of the community without placing at risk traditional indigenous values, thus forming a durable and effective partnership. The project will conduct qualitative research to characterize the outlook of Canadian industry leaders and their strategies for adding value to the next generation of mining communities. The research student will spend time interfacing with industry leaders as well as a period spent at the Sustainable Mining Institute at the University of Queensland, alongside prominent and pertinent researchers. Project deliverables will be a credible strategy and framework for adapting the shared value concept into sustainable mine development.***The second project is built around existing relationships with the Tlicho Research and Training Institute (TRTI ) in Yellowknife, NWT. The Tlicho nation communities are remote, small and dispersed around several significant diamond mines. The Tlicho government mission is "to preserve and protect our lands, language, culture and way of life . for as long as this land shall last." The project will collaborate with TRTI, UofA and UVic. It will study the accelerating and widespread Canadian phenomenon of building roads to the north to support new mining development. These roads provide access to pristine areas and their routes traverse indigenous territory often in close proximity to small, remote indigenous communities. Many of these communities are currently dealing with their own significant social and health issues. Critical questions are: what are the risks to such communities and how can they be mitigated by adherence to a code that the mining industry can adapt as best practice? The project aims to highlight issues and to inform industry, government and communities. The project will be undertaken by a sequence of two Masters students who will spend an appreciable time in the communities and mines supervised by an interdisciplinary academic and community team.***

加拿大采矿业面临着关于土地获取，福利和环境风险的社区问题。该行业需要对其如何贡献更明显的价值和负责土地管理的保证有深入的了解。对住宿，权利和头衔的充分关注必须伴随着透明的合作和参与计划，以对各方的利益。许多采矿社区，尤其是原住民，都位于偏远地区，通常处于贫困状态，健康和健康状况不佳。共享价值提供了共同解决矿山如何尊重社区的健康和福祉而不应面临传统土著价值的风险的方法，从而形成持久有效的伙伴关系。该项目将进行定性研究，以表征加拿大行业领导者的前景及其为下一代采矿社区增值的策略。研究专业的学生将花时间与行业领导者以及昆士兰州可持续矿业研究所的一段时间与著名和相关研究人员以及一段时间。项目可交付成果将是将共享价值概念调整为可持续地雷开发的可靠策略和框架。特里科国家社区很遥远，小，围绕着几个重要的钻石矿山散布。特里科政府的使命是“保护和保护我们的土地，语言，文化和生活方式。只要这片土地持续下去。”该项目将与TRTI，UOFA和UVIC合作。它将研究北部建筑道路的加拿大加拿大现象，以支持新的采矿开发。这些道路提供了通往原始地区的通道及其路线，经常靠近小型偏远的土著社区。这些社区中的许多人目前正在处理自己的重大社会和健康问题。关键问题是：这些社区的风险是什么？如何通过遵守采矿业可以适应最佳实践的代码来缓解它们？该项目旨在突出问题并为行业，政府和社区提供信息。该项目将由两名硕士学生组成的序列进行，他们将在社区和跨学科学术和社区团队监督的社区和地雷上度过可观的时光。***
