It’s often said that the most challenging part about opening a new mine isn’t getting the raw materials out of the ground, it’s managing the complex relationship with all the stakeholders, particularly those that are part of the mine’s landscape. Issues discussed include: • What does “effective” mean? • Identifying the “right” approach: identifying the stakeholders, their concerns, and interests • Identifying legacy issues with previous activities/owners. • Clarifying goals and objectives for engagement for you and for them … what does that mean? • What does success look like, and how do you get there? • How does the company engage its internal teams to engage with the external stakeholders on the ground? @resourcingtomorrow2023
