β¦ Synopsis
This review provides a brief overview of Indigenous peoples' issues faced by the mining industry as it seeks to gain access to land, carry out exploration and, if successful, develop and manage a mining operation. It aims to provide guidance on possible options in this area for the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) and the mining industry to contribute to. At the core of this review are results from a survey of ICMM corporate and association members on how they currently define the issues, the challenges they continue to face and the solutions available to them. The results of the industry survey are compared to how other stakeholders define the issues, with priority given to Indigenous peoples and their organizations, but also more generally to development institutions and practitioners, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), national governments and investors.
