Description
Mining activities often occur in areas which are inhabited by indigenous communities. In recent times there have been considerable developments in the relationship between mining companies and such communities in the many different jurisdictions where minerals are extracted.
The panel will mainly address the topic of the agreements that can be entered into in order to govern such relationships and determine rights and obligations of each party. Particular focus will be made on the judicial interpretation and approaches to these agreements as well as determine the overall process for decision-making in their construction.
