AAMEG Social Aspects Management Handbook
Going into a new area to explore and ultimately build and operate a mine you start with high and positive expectations that you can work constructively with the local communities. Then it goes off the rails. Most often, with good intentions and a focus on an immediate issue, individuals in the company or community will take actions or make decisions (or fail to take actions or make decisions) that over time, cumulatively and progressively add up to major problems and consequences that are for the most part predictable – difficulties, costly delays and if it really goes badly, loss of the project.
The good news is that you have far more control over the situation than you might think.
The handbook doesn’t set out to provide all the answers. Instead, it takes you through a process for thinking through the impacts and benefits associated with exploration and development, assessing the risks and looking at possibilities to set you up for managing the social aspects of your project with the same discipline as you apply to the technical and financial aspects.
