Mineral Industry Perceptions and Issues
1. ‘Free Entry System’
• Allows for virtually anyone to acquire claims – promotes fair access
• Promotes low cost access for initial exploration
• Usually ‘outsider’ acquires claims
![Page 10: WORKING IN COMMUNITIES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56814317550346895daf7068/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

2. Dual Rights System – pros and cons
• Crown owns minerals – promotes social equity
• Landowner perspectives
• Creates challenges in resource and land management
• Perpetuates ‘outsider’ perspective

Evolution of Community Engagement
Where have we been??
• Minimal effort - as demanded by legislation
• Mainly one-way communications – PR based
• Early environmental legislation adopted to meet environmental and social demands (EA process)
• EA process only applicable at ‘development’ stage
![Page 24: WORKING IN COMMUNITIES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56814317550346895daf7068/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Evolution of Community Engagement
Where are we now? Industry Association Actions
• PDAC E3 Plus Initiative – CSR, Engagement focus! Response to growing community planning trends
Few exploration companies have taken action
Benefits not part of corporate psyche yet
Illustrates need for corporate training in CSR etc.
![Page 27: WORKING IN COMMUNITIES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56814317550346895daf7068/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Evolution of Community Engagement
Where are we now? Financial Regulatory Actions
• New Section in TSX 43-101 Technical Reports Item 20: Environmental Studies, Permitting, and
Social or Community Impact
Requirement to discuss issues that may affect an issuer's ability to mine
Only comes into play at “advanced project” stage
![Page 28: WORKING IN COMMUNITIES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56814317550346895daf7068/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Evolution of Community Engagement
Observations….
• Industry associations seem to be keeping pace with trends in government policy and community based planning
• Mining companies – not so much
![Page 29: WORKING IN COMMUNITIES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56814317550346895daf7068/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
WORKING IN COMMUNITIESMINERAL EXPLORATION COMMUNITY VALUES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Evolution of Community Engagement
Observations for moving forward…..
Companies need to recognize level of understanding of geology, industry activities by community as a first step
Companies must be aware of community perceptions of mining
Companies must recognize range of values in a community
Engagement needs to focus on community planning and what that means to the community
![Page 30: WORKING IN COMMUNITIES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56814317550346895daf7068/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Evolution of Community Engagement
Summary
Industry suffers from past practices and a negative image
Trends in communications, government policy and ‘community’ planning will impact industry
Industry associations and regulatory agencies have developed policies and programs to keep pace with these trends
Most ‘engagement’ is still a “must do” rather than “should do” activity

Corporate Social Responsibility
Often Poorly Defined & Criticized
• What would it look like if it was actually done?
• Called a “Weapon” in some countries.
• Heavily biased towards financial “reward” rather than changing corporate attitudes.
• Still has great potential if genuinely applied
