Thunderbird Natural Resources And Commodities Club Presentation Updated 0...
The Thunderbird Natural Resources & Commodities Club (TNRCC) was founded to serve as a center of excellence on natural resource and commodities industries. The club focuses on issues related to extracting, producing, and managing resources through presentations, lectures, independent studies courses, site visits, and mentorship. It aims to prepare students for careers in industries facing challenges like resource scarcity, environmental and social impacts, and sovereign risks in developing countries.
THE NATURE OF MINING CONTRACTS
The document discusses the nature and purpose of mining contracts between governments and mining companies. It covers several key points:
- Mining contracts address issues like government revenue, social/economic impacts, and security of tenure. The most important is the Mine Development Agreement.
- Contracts become important where governments have weak institutions, corruption, and instability. Experts negotiate contracts to develop minerals responsibly.
- Contracts should be publicly accessible to build consensus on revenue use. They are guided by laws and policies on the environment, business, taxation, land, and water resources.
- Topics negotiated include equity participation, taxation, infrastructure, community development, dispute resolution, and termination. The goal is transparent and

1. The document discusses strategies for Africa to better harness its mineral resources potential through policies that transform mineral wealth into sustainable development.
2. It outlines the challenges including balancing short and long term needs, creating lasting wealth, equitable distribution, and governance.
3. The Africa Mining Vision provides a framework for Africa to achieve optimal exploitation of resources and use mineral rents to develop infrastructure and diversify economies.
Perceptions of small scale gold miners
This report summarizes the perceptions of small-scale gold miners in Suriname on self-organization and formalization. It finds that miners are generally willing to register and pay taxes in exchange for government support on infrastructure, crime reduction, access to credit, training, and land rights. Miners also want to join an organization to lobby for their interests and represent them in disputes. However, few miners have experience with organizations, and barriers include lack of skills, trust, and incentives. The report recommends awareness campaigns, the creation of national and regional miners' organizations, and for the GMD to improve communication and dispute resolution support. Overall, formalization could transform mining into a more viable livelihood if these challenges are addressed.
Mining: Growth industry’s devastating footprint: what next?
1) Mining has become a major growth industry in India, with production of iron ore, bauxite, chromite, coal, and lignite all doubling or increasing substantially between the mid-1990s and 2005.
2) However, the mining industry has had a devastating environmental and social impact, displacing people from their lands and devastating local environments, while failing to provide adequate local employment.
3) There are also major regulatory failures and tensions between different stakeholders, including between large domestic and multinational companies, state-owned firms, exporters, and local communities affected by mining.
Case Study on the Development of the Mining Vision by Asha Kanna
The document summarizes a case study on Lesotho's development of a mining vision (CMV). It outlines that mining contributes 7.7% of GDP but the goal is 10%. A multi-stakeholder task force developed the CMV through extensive consultation using a STEEP diagnostic tool. The vision aims for responsible and competitive mining providing sustainable socio-economic benefits. The CMV principles emphasize transparency, equitable distribution, and responsible mining respecting human rights. Challenges addressed included outdated policies and lack of socio-economic and governance standards. The objectives are ensuring mining contributes to development while mitigating impacts through transparency and participation. Political commitment, stakeholder involvement, and capacity building were keys to overcoming obstacles.
Towards a diamond act in zimbabwe.pdf.pdf1
This document analyzes Zimbabwe's legal and policy framework for diamonds and compliance with the Kimberley Process. It finds the framework inadequate and recommends developing a Diamond Act. The key points made are:
1. Zimbabwe's diamond sector has significant potential but has been plagued by problems like secrecy, corruption and human rights abuses in Marange. Existing laws are insufficient to curb issues like illegal mining and smuggling.
2. A review of laws finds gaps in licensing, security, transparency, accountability and beneficiation. Compliance with Kimberley Process minimum standards on trade and exports is lacking.
3. Best practices in other countries are considered but local solutions are needed. A Diamond Act is proposed to address legal

Finally, it summarizes some current interventions and principles for engagement.
2012 7 June Panel 2a Terah dDejong
1) The document discusses a post-mining environmental rehabilitation project in the Central African Republic called POMIGER that converts old mining pits into fish ponds, vegetable farms, and agroforestry sites.
2) POMIGER saw rapid growth from 18 sites in 2010 to 580 sites in 2011, restoring over 50 hectares of degraded land. The majority of sites were fish ponds, with about 40% located in confirmed mined out pits.
3) The apparent success of POMIGER is attributed to complementing livelihood needs in the context of the diamond economic crisis and food insecurity, while also providing environmental benefits and increased land tenure security.

The document discusses gas flaring and the use of clean development mechanism (CDM) methodologies to reduce emissions from gas flaring. It notes that while the technology for gas flaring is well understood, developing CDM projects has proven difficult due to the remote locations and need for unique designs. Existing methodologies have had limited impact on reducing gas flaring emissions. The document calls for expanding and improving methodologies, developing new ones, and increasing coordination between parties to help CDM have a meaningful impact on reducing gas flaring emissions.Ideas for conclusion and next steps - Paul Parks
The document discusses steps that could be taken to increase the impact of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in reducing gas flaring and greenhouse gas emissions. It suggests that Annex 1 countries organize to share information and improve existing and develop new CDM methodologies related to gas flaring. Developing countries are encouraged to highlight the role of gas flare reduction within the UNFCCC and incorporate CDM into their development strategies. The Meth Panel and Executive Board are asked to consider development impacts when reviewing methodologies and provide more opportunities for technical input.

Gas flaring and sustainable development - Thomas Eid (NORAD)
The Oil for Development program provides assistance to 25 countries to help them sustainably manage their oil and gas resources. The program focuses on resource management, environmental protection, and revenue management based on principles of good governance. A key objective is to help countries manage their resources to generate sustainable economic growth while protecting the environment. The program works to reduce gas flaring, which wastes resources, harms the environment, and costs countries potential revenue. It provides support to strengthen institutions and regulations related to resource extraction and environmental management.
Flaring situation - F Sucre (GGFR)
The document summarizes the agenda for a workshop on reducing gas flaring. It discusses the status of gas flaring worldwide and methodologies for reducing flaring. It provides an overview of presentations on alternative uses for gas and gas reinjection to reduce flaring, as well as panels to discuss critical issues, priorities, and next steps. The document also provides background information on estimated levels of global gas flaring and flaring in major regions.

The document discusses issues with limited uptake of flare reduction projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and provides suggestions to address them. Key issues include the applicability criteria and additionality assessments in existing methodologies being too restrictive, as well as uncertainty around monitoring requirements. The author proposes consolidating and revising methodologies to be more flexible and generic, including options for different product scenarios and emissions sources. Materiality assessments and defining uncertainty requirements for parameters instead of prescribed equipment are also suggested to reduce delays and increase confidence in flare reduction projects under the CDM.CDM Methodology Workshop on Gas Flaring--Agenda
This document provides an agenda for a CDM Methodology Workshop on reducing gas flaring through carbon credits. The workshop will take place on December 3, 2008 in Amsterdam from 10:00 to 14:00. It will discuss methodological issues and challenges to increase the contribution of CDM projects for gas flaring reductions, including gas capture and marketing, alternative uses of gas, and gas reinjection. The agenda includes introductions, presentations on current methodologies and alternative approaches to reducing gas flaring, and a panel discussion on moving projects forward. Participation is by invitation only for 30 technical and policy experts.
Alternative uses to reduce gas flaring - Anders Pederstad (Carbon Limits)
The document discusses using gas recovered from oil wells to substitute for non-associated gas currently being flared and used for gas-lift operations at an offshore oilfield in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It proposes a new CDM methodology that would allow capturing and using the recovered gas rather than flaring it, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Key benefits noted are lowering costs by using the recovered gas instead of purchasing non-associated gas, and the potential to generate carbon credits under the CDM program.

The document discusses gas reinjection as an alternative to flaring. It describes how gas reinjection can be used for improved oil recovery and gas storage. Gas reinjection involves compressing and injecting gas back into reservoirs. Monitoring programs are needed to track the movement of injected gas over time. The document also provides examples of gas reinjection projects in Norway, including some that involve storing carbon dioxide emissions underground.Health and Safety for ASM in Brazil
O documento descreve um projeto piloto de intervenção na silicose na pequena mineração no Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. O projeto realizou inquéritos epidemiológicos que revelaram altas taxas de doenças respiratórias e acidentes de trabalho entre os mineradores, que trabalham em condições precárias. O projeto também capacitou profissionais de saúde e trabalhadores e criou cooperativas para melhorar a saúde e segurança no trabalho. No entanto, enfrentou desafios como ameaças e falta de apoio.
Diamond Development Initiative (DDI)
The document discusses the Diamond Development Initiative (DDI), which aims to address political, social, and economic challenges in artisanal diamond mining through partnerships between NGOs, governments, and private sector. DDI works to improve livelihoods, working conditions, the environment, and community development in the artisanal mining sector in relation to the UN's Millennium Development Goals. It also seeks to create social and economic stability in the vulnerable artisanal mining sector to prevent conflict.
CASM: N.V. Grassalco’s View
1. Grasshopper Aluminum Company oversees mining concessions in Suriname, including the 138,000 hectare Benzdorp concession where about 1,000 people engage in artisanal gold mining.
2. Artisanal gold mining in the Benzdorp concession causes environmental impacts like water siltation, landscape degradation, and mercury pollution.
3. WWF is working with Grasshopper Aluminum on a project to improve environmental management of artisanal gold mining in Benzdorp through education, promoting less destructive mining techniques, and monitoring environmental impacts.

Nicholas Garrett, Resource Consulting Services / LSE Crisis States Research Centre (on behalf of BGR)Call to Action on Child Labour –ILO
The document discusses the International Labour Organization's (ILO) work related to small-scale mining. The ILO seeks to promote social justice and human rights. It establishes international labor standards and provides technical assistance to improve working conditions. Some key areas of focus for the ILO regarding small-scale mining include child labor, occupational safety and health, indigenous peoples' rights, and convening tripartite meetings between governments, employers and workers.
Income comparison between Brazilian and African artisanal diamond miners
The document summarizes a study comparing the wages of artisanal diamond miners in Africa and South America. It finds that South American miners earn 7-10 times more than African miners for similar diamonds. This is due to higher markups charged by middlemen and exporters in Africa, where miners are more isolated and unaware of market prices. The study details mining wages, production processes, and markups at each stage of the supply chain in Brazil, Guyana, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to understand why certain actors capture more value than miners.
ConferêNcia Internacional Mineral
O documento discute a realização de seminários sobre cooperativismo na mineração brasileira em 2005 e 2006. Ele destaca os desafios da pequena mineração, como falta de articulação e financiamento. O texto também apresenta as finalidades do Instituto Nacional de Desenvolvimento das Comunidades da Pequena Mineração, como identificar fontes de financiamento e promover capacitação dos garimpeiros. Por fim, descreve o plano de ação do Instituto para 2008-2012.

This document summarizes a two-year project in Sierra Leone funded by DFID to provide technical assistance to strengthen the Ministry of Mineral Resources' capacity and efficiency. The project focuses on day-to-day management support, policy development, legal and regulatory reform. It aims to restore policy and institutions for artisanal mining, which accounts for 80% of Sierra Leone's diamond production but lacks engagement between large mining companies and communities. The partnerships formed between government, donors, and organizations have begun achieving institutional reforms and improved stakeholder engagement, but more work remains to be done, including implementing new policies, legislation, and regulatory frameworks to formalize artisanal mining and trading.
Amis Presentation
The document summarizes an Artisanal Mining Information System (AMIS) that was developed to help monitor and evaluate artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). The system provides information on ASM activities at national and site levels, including legal status, projects, organizations, issues. It also contains scientific data, social/economic issues for mine sites. Reports and a help section are included. The goal is to help stakeholders better understand and address challenges of ASM through an online centralized database.
Recomendaciones Para Casm
El documento contiene recomendaciones para mejorar la representación de mineros en el Comité de Apoyo a la Minería Artesanal y de Pequeña Escala (CASM), incluyendo tener representación de mineros de cada continente y al menos una mujer minera por continente. También recomienda que CASM facilite el diálogo entre la minería a gran escala y la minería artesanal y de pequeña escala, y que durante las conferencias de CASM se de más espacio a los mineros para que expresen sus perspectivas y preocupaciones.
Wagner Certified Trading Chains
The document discusses the concept of Certified Trading Chains (CTC) in the mining sector. CTC aims to introduce transparency and minimum social and environmental standards for artisanal and small-scale mining. It does so through a voluntary certification system that verifies the origin of minerals and ensures standards are followed. CTC is being piloted in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and aims to benefit miners through fair prices and technology transfer, governments through increased revenues, and consumers through responsible sourcing. The International Conference on the Great Lakes Region supports integrating CTC into initiatives against conflict minerals.
Scale Mineral Production In Brazil
I. The document outlines Brazil's policies and actions regarding small-scale mineral production, including establishing a legal framework, addressing problems in the sector, and implementing programs to support and develop small-scale mining.
II. Programs introduced under President Lula's government aimed to improve geological data, support cooperatives, formalize mining operations, and provide training.
III. New initiatives under Lula included mineral extension centers and telecenters to disseminate information, as well as initiatives supporting quilombola communities and implementing Agenda 21 at the local level.
