First Nations: Learning Together - Click for details
Time: 09:00 to 17:00
Room: TBC
Minimum: 10 Maximum: 50
Cost: FREE. Course includes book notes, two coffee breaks & lunch.
Instructor: Lana Eagle, Board Member, and Juan Carlos Reyes, Executive Director, Learning Together
The purpose of this workshop is to analyze Cameco's successful hands-on approach to engagement in creating partnerships with Aboriginal communities. Today, half of Cameco’s staff come from Aboriginal communities. A number of multimillion dollar companies have been created in and are being operated by many of these communities. But this success has not been achieved without challenges: dealing with abandoned operations, managing expectations, the ups and downs of an already volatile industry, and trying to sell communities on the idea of one of Canada’s most controversial minerals.
The workshop will also provide the opportunity for Aboriginal communities that have specific experiences with exploration projects to engage participants by offering their views through a panel session format. Communities that learn from one another about how best to deal with controversial mining and exploration are in a much better position to gain from these projects. And when one community learns about the mining industry, they are able to share this knowledge with others, which helps to multiply the positive effects of the learning process.
Currently, there is considerable misunderstanding within Canadian communities and in the media related to uranium exploration. Although modern statistics clearly reveal uranium’s safety record when it comes to health and environmental risks, Aboriginal communities still have a lot of questions and concerns. For most communities, uranium is a controversial, poorly-regarded resource, and its benefits are often overlooked – and even condemned. Members of the Cree community of Mistissini, for example, recently held a community rally against the exploration and development of uranium, an action which has received support from many NGO's who use these opportunities to distribute outdated and unverifiable information about uranium. There are a number of other similar examples across Canada.
The growing number of mineral exploration projects, and the significant development of resources on Aboriginal lands, means that education about the facts of uranium mining has never been more important. Research has shown that effective engagement and community involvement at the grassroots, early stages is the most beneficial way to help stem the tide of misunderstanding. Only through educating community members about these fears – and the facts that will disprove them – can people feel safe about uranium. The First Nation communities of the Athabasca Dene, for example, have been safely living with the exploration and mining of uranium for over 50 years. Moreover, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has released studies and information that state that the people living in and around uranium exploration and mining are just as healthy as the average Canadian.
Since the world relies so heavily on energy, coupled with the fact that Canada is the world’s leading supplier of uranium, it’s important to give Aboriginal communities an informed picture of the real risks and rewards associated with this industry. By showcasing Cameco’s commitment and success in engaging communities, and by providing an opportunity for Aboriginal communities to address their peers in a panel discussion, this workshop will help erase many long-standing misconceptions and help companies and communities understand what meaningful engagement truly means.

Mining 101 - An Introduction to Mining and Mineral Processing - Click for details
Time: 09:00 to 15:00
Room: TBC
Minimum: 10 Maximum: 50
Cost: $350 regular and $100 for students. Course includes book notes, two coffee breaks & lunch.
Instructor: Scott Dunbar, University of British Columbia
This course covers the basic concepts of mining and mineral processing: how mines are found; how they are built; how the ore is processed; how the waste is disposed; how mineral products are marketed; and some ideas about where mining will be in the future.
The course is directed to those who have little or no background in mining or mineral processing, but who find themselves working in the industry or with people in the industry, possibly hearing terms that sound like a foreign language and wanting to understand. This course has been delivered with success to office administrators and receptionists, accountants, geologists, environmental scientists, computer scientists, lawyers, other types of engineers, and teachers.
Parts of the course require some basic numeracy and high school science. However, all of the material is taught in a friendly, non-threatening manner and is quite easily understood by someone who likes to watch Nova or the Discovery Channel.
The course is divided into six topics:
- Ore Deposits - mines found in special places on earth.
- Mining Methods - open pit and underground.
- Mineral Processing Methods - how valuable minerals are separated from waste.
- Mine Waste Disposal - how waste rock and tailings are managed.
- Mining and Money - mineral markets, resources and reserves.
- The Future of Mining - What would a mine look like in 2050 or 2100?
New Approaches to Greener Mining - CANCELLED!
THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
Organizer: Dr. Jeffrey Cutler, Director of Industrial Science, Canadian Light Source Inc.
Increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, worker safety and consumer demand require that the mining industry explore the use of advanced characterization techniques at all stages of the resource extraction cycle. Several advanced methods, including synchrotron spectroscopy and isotope spectrometry, provide a more precise understanding of the chemical and mineralogical composition of ore bodies, mine tailings, aerosols encountered in extraction, and processing. Such information is also invaluable for demonstrating regulatory compliance and developing site remediation strategies. This workshop will address the following topics:
- Advanced analytical techniques to characterize mine tailings to address the coming changes in environmental reporting regulations.
- New methods to remediate mine tailings sites.
- Exploiting deposits in tailings and old mine sites.
The Canadian Light Source (CLS) is Canada's national synchrotron research facility. Located in Saskatoon, the CLS generates intense synchrotron light that can be used to probe the structure of matter, with a number of applications related to the mining and natural resources industries. Environmental and mining-related samples ranging from ores to slurries, to wet and dry soils, to air particulates can be analyzed in situ using synchrotron techniques to reveal species chemistry, trace element distribution, and crystal structural information. Such measurements are of particular interest in the areas of mineral exploration and processing, environmental remediation, security and safeguards, and metals process technologies.
The Realities of Earning a Social License to Operate Workshop - Click for details
Time: 09:00 to 17:00
Room: TBC
Minimum: 10 Maximum: 50
Cost: FREE. Course includes book notes, two coffee breaks & lunch.
Earning a 'social license' is a mounting risk that companies in the extractive industries must now integrate into their strategic and risk management plans. It goes beyond simply legitimizing a project with stakeholders to one where companies must gain the trust and recognition from these vested communities by collaboratively working with them at the earliest possible stage of exploration, to ensure sound management of this risk throughout the entire project life cycle.
This full-day workshop will provide an in-depth understanding of the growing challenges that companies working within the extractive industries are facing in order to obtain a social license to operate. While some of these challenges are driven by existing or changing legislation, others are exemplified by recent cases where protests, opposition and lack of community support have resulted in companies being forced to shut down their operations.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will facilitate discussions between industry, government, community, legal and business leaders to learn how a social license to operate is earned. Key topics of discussion include:
- What pressures currently impact social licensing and what are their implications?
- Regulatory (such as bill C-300, if enacted, regional, national and/or foreign legislation)
- Community (local and Aboriginal groups, non-governmental organizations, etc.)
- Environmental
- Reputational
- What can be learned from the failures and successes of others?
- What are leading practices?
- What steps should companies in the extractive industry undertake to minimize their social risks?
This workshop will benefit all organizations working in or impacted by the extractive industries. It will be of particular interest to those involved in operations, legal affairs, governance, community relations and/or sustainable development.

MAC's Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) Initiative 2004-2010- ½ day workshop - Click for details
Time: 9:00 to 12:00
Room: TBC
Minimum: 10 Maximum: 50
Cost: $150 regular and $25 for students. Course includes book notes and coffee break.
Instructor: Julie Gelfand, Vice-President, Sustainable Development, Mining Association of Canada
Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) is a strategy developed by the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) to improve the mining industry's performance by aligning its actions with the priorities and values of Canadians. It is a process for finding common ground with communities of interest to build a better mining industry today and in the future.
TSM is based on a set of guiding principles supported by performance elements and indicators (tailings management, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, crisis management, external outreach, etc). The initiative is stewarded by the TSM Governance Team, led by MAC's Board of Directors, and by a group of initiative leaders, the points of contact for TSM within each member company. Input and guidance come from an external multi-stakeholder Community of Interest (COI) Advisory Panel.
A variety of speakers will deal with different aspects of TSM including:
- Its history, how it works (MAC presenter).
- Examples of how performance has improved as a result of the initiative (several company representatives).
- How TSM compares and contrasts with other Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives within the extractive industries sector (speaker from Five Winds International and/or Canadian Business for Social Responsibility (CBSR).
- How various members of the COI panel view TSM (ENGO/Aboriginal/labour/financial community representatives).
- Where it is heading in the future (MAC Governance Team Chair).
Tailings Management for Sustainable Mining - ½ day workshop - Click for details
Time: 13:30 to 16:30
Room: TBC
Minimum: 10 Maximum: 50
Cost: $150 regular and $25 for students. Course includes book notes and afternoon coffee break.
Instructor: Elizabeth Gardiner, Vice-President, Technical Affairs, Mining Association of Canada
For the past 15 years, the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) has worked to improve the management of tailings facilities by its member companies and the broader mining industry. This effort began out of a realization that tailings present a major business risk to the mining industry, that the risk needed to be better managed, and that a series of major tailings failures around the world in the 1990s, while individually related to specific technical issues, were fundamentally indicative of the need for improved care and management practices by tailings facility owners and operators. MAC established a Tailings Working Group in 1996, which continues to work within the industry to promote safe and environmentally responsible tailings management practices.
The most visible thrust of this initiative has been the development and publication of a three-volume set of guides to improve tailings management:
- A Guide to the Management of Tailings Facilities, initially published in 1998, updated edition published in 2009.
- Developing an Operation, Maintenance and Surveillance Manual for Tailings and Water Management Facilities, published in 2003.
- A Guide to Audit and Assessment of Tailings Facility Management, published in 2009.
This workshop will outline the MAC tailings management framework, as put forth in these guides, and provide guidance for its implementation and application as gained from member company experiences. Special emphasis will be placed on the audit and assessment guide and the relationship between the guides and the tailings management performance indicators under MAC's Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) initiative.

Objective
Meeting the challenges of sustainable development requires time and resources that are often beyond the scope of any one organisation. Partnerships can be a powerful framework for addressing these challenges. Fundamental to establishing and nurturing successful partnerships, however, is a well-developed business-case supported by a critical set of partnering skills and competencies.
EEM Inc. in association with The Partnership Initiative (TPI) and the International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF) will be offering a 1-day course coinciding with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum's 2010 annual conference in Vancouver focused on cross-sector partnering and its applicability to the extractive sector.
Who is it for?
This workshop is aimed at individuals directly involved or with an active interest in partnerships for sustainable development as they pertain to the extractive sector. It is open to people from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
Specific goals
By the end of the course, participants will:
- Be familiar with what constitutes a cross sector partnership, its various forms and their potential applicability to the extractive sector;
- Understand the value of cross-sector partnerships and how to build the case within their organisations;
- Be equipped with strategies to make their organisations more effective at partnering;
- Understand what constitutes good partnering behaviour;
- Understand the 'Partnering Cycle' - a lifecycle framework for the development and management of partnerships;
- Appreciate the roles and skill-sets of individuals brokering partnerships;
- Be provided access to guidance and resources to support the partnering journey.
Who is running the workshop?
The workshop will be presented by Christian Matossian, Vice-President of Social Performance at EEM inc. and Ron Nielsen, Senior Director at the International Centre for Business Innovation and Sustainability (ICBIS), both of whom are accredited Partnership Brokers under the Partnership Brokers Accreditation Scheme (PBAS) and have extensive experience brokering multi-sector partnerships both in Canada and Internationally.
