Author Description

The goal of this guide is to increase the ability of Aboriginal peoples to understand the mineral development cycle and participate in exploration and mining-related activities. The information is organized into four sections that match the main phases of the mineral development cycle: Mineral Exploration, Mine Development and Construction, Mine Operation, and Mine Closure and Reclamation. The sections can be presented together or used separately on a stand-alone basis. A glossary of terms is included to provide definitions for words that are bolded in the text.
