Download or read book Developing an Ideal Mining Agenda written by Peter Siebenmorgen and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mineral extraction in northern Canada has historically given little regard to the negative impacts experienced by local Aboriginal communities. In recent years, however, the emergence of Impact and Benefit Agreements (IBAs) negotiated between mining firms and would-be impacted Aboriginal communities has been cautiously celebrated as enabling improved impact mitigation and increased local capture of benefits. While improved outcomes have been substantiated by preliminary assessments of IBA effectiveness, some IBA-supported mining projects have recently met with community protests that reflect adversarial proponent-community relationships of old. It is argued, herein, that the limited success of some agreements has been caused by their failure to identify and thoughtfully address Aboriginal signatory's implicit expectations and interests regarding long-term community development. Accordingly, this thesis conceptualizes, based on extensive empirical evidence from contemporary northern Ontario, an ideal IBA, sensitive to the particular socio-economic conditions, cultural interests and community development expectations of Aboriginal signatories in northern Ontario. This research suggests that IBAs can serve as instruments of community development and mutual benefit between project developers and their Aboriginal partners, which constitutes a significant improvement from mining's exploitive history in the north.

Download or read book Mining Safety and Health Research at NIOSH written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-10-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. mining sector has the highest fatality rate of any industry in the country. Fortunately, advances made over the past three decades in mining technology, equipment, processes, procedures, and workforce education and training have significantly improved safety and health. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Mining Safety and Health Research Program (Mining Program) has played a large role in these improvements. An assessment of the relevance and impact of NIOSH Mining Program research by a National Research Council committee reveals that the program makes essential contributions to the enhancement of health and safety in the mining industry. To further increase its effectiveness, the Mining Program should proactively identify workplace hazards and establish more challenging and innovative goals toward hazard reduction. The ability of the program to successfully expand its activities, however, depends on available funding.

Download or read book State Governance of Mining Development and Sustainability written by Tracy-Lynn Field and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: States in mineral-rich jurisdictions must promote mining as a development industry just as they must protect people and environment from the worst excesses of extractivism. State Governance of Mining, Development and Sustainability explores how the State’s role in facilitating a developmental and sustainable mining industry has been defined. In doing so, this astute book considers the impact of the policies and laws of mineral-rich States themselves, multilateral international governance institutions, industry associations, and environmental justice advocates in the areas of property relations, mineral taxation, environmental management and mine closure.

Download or read book Frontiers of Development Economics written by Gerald M. Meier and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2001 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from 35 leading economists, this forward-looking book explores the future of development economics against the background of the past half-century of development thought and practice. Outstanding representatives of the past two generations of development economists assess development thinking at the turn of the century and look to the unsettled questions confronting the next generation.The volume offers a thorough analysis of the broad range of issues involved in development economics, and it is especially timely in its critique of what is needed in development theory and policy to reduce poverty. An overriding issue is whether in the future 'development economics' is to be regarded simply as applied economics or whether the nature and scope of development economics will constitute a need for a special development theory to supplement general economic theory.'Frontiers of Development Economics' is an ideal reference for all those working in the international development community.

Download or read book Equipment Selection for Mining With Case Studies written by Christina N. Burt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book presents innovative and state-of-the-art computational models for determining the optimal truck–loader selection and allocation strategy for use in large and complex mining operations. The authors provide comprehensive information on the methodology that has been developed over the past 50 years, from the early ad hoc spreadsheet approaches to today’s highly sophisticated and accurate mathematical-based computational models. The authors’ approach is motivated and illustrated by real case studies provided by our industry collaborators. The book is intended for a broad audience, ranging from mathematicians with an interest in industrial applications to mining engineers who wish to utilize the most accurate, efficient, versatile and robust computational models in order to refine their equipment selection and allocation strategy. As materials handling costs represent a significant component of total costs for mining operations, applying the optimization methodology developed here can substantially improve their competitiveness
