Sustainable Development in the Mining Industry - presentation at QCFI BhilaiPRABHASH GOKARN
Mining is the primary method of extraction of minerals needed by man.
The main constraint to sustainability in mining stems from the increasing pollution generated by the extraction process and the large consumption of resources (mostly energy and water) needed in refining of the minerals.
Mining operations are associated with a range of environmental and social impacts, as well as the non-renewable nature of many mined resources. Thus the sustainability of this industry and the efficient use of its resources for development remain crucial.
There is a growing realization globally of the importance of strong and effective legal and regulatory frameworks, policies and practices for the mining sector that deliver economic and social benefits.
It is possible for mining to contribute to sustainable development through:
• Enhancing the benefits while mitigating the negative impacts both when mining is taking place and subsequently as well (by scientific mine closure)
• Improving stakeholder participation in the management of the resources including local and indigenous communities
• Addressing the environmental, economic, health and social impacts and benefits of mining throughout their life cycle, including workers' health and safety.
There must be a balance between contrasting claims of sustainability for the future versus current economic benefit from mining. We must :
• Stay within the capacity of ecosystems to absorb change.
• Provide an adequate standard of living for those in the area of influence.
• Create wealth for development of society & provide for the development of advanced technology.
• Develop systems of governance which promote and sustain these goals.

It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

11. Recent Developments in Uganda’s Mineral Sector
Recently, the Government undertook airborne
geophysical surveys covering 80% of the country
followed by limited ground geological mapping,
geochemical surveys and mineral resource assessment.
As a result, several potential areas for detailed
exploration of different mineral commodities have been
identified ranging from precious metals e.g. gold, base
metals, PGMs, Rare Earth Elements (REE), Uranium
and a number of industrial minerals such as limestone.
Uganda has generated geological maps with new
mineral potential zones at scales: 1:250000 (19 Sheets),
1:100000 (74 Sheets) & 1:50000 (52 Sheets)
16. Investment opportunities -cont’d
Rare Earth Elements (REE) potential exist in:
Isolated pegmatite's in SW Uganda, Carbonatite centres in Eastern Uganda
(Sukulu, Butiriku, Bukusu, Napak).
Aluminous clays enriched in Scandium, Gallium, Yttrium and REE in Makuutuarea
(SE Uganda) is estimated at 3 billion tonneswith grades of 23% REE and 27%
Alumina.
Other commodities include:
Base metals: Copper, cobalt, Lead, Zinc, PGMs
3 Ts: Tin, Tantalite (coltan) & Tungsten.
Industrial Minerals: Dimension stones (from Marble and Granite)
and Glass sand
Geothermal energy: 4 Main areas under exploration are: Buranga,
Katwe, Kibiro, Panymur–All in Western Rift Valley.
17. Incentives in Mining Sector
Uganda Investment Authority (UIA)
UIA is under Ministry of Finance & Economic Planning and
Economic Development put in place an Investment Code, 1991.
The Code encourages private investment by streamlining procedures
and guaranteeing protection of investors against appropriation.
Foreign individuals and companies -own100% of a business in
Uganda (Mining companies inclusive).
Taxation : Import taxes such as customs duty for all mining
equipment is zero-rated.
Mineral Certification : Uganda is in process to certify minerals, for
example tin, tungsten and columbite-tantalite (3Ts) and gold in
compliance with the Great Lakes initiative. When this process is
accomplished, it will be able to trace minerals from mine sites and
stages of trade among the Great Lakes member states subsequently
will minimize conflicts in marketing of the country’s minerals.
18. Conclusion
Uganda is richly endowed with mineral resources; the
recently concluded geological, geochemical and air borne
geophysical surveys revealed potential for more mineral
resources. Specifically, new targets for gold, iron ore and
platinum group metals(PGMs), REEs, nickel-chromium,
among others.
Government intends to develop these resources in
partnership with private sector in a sustainable manner
MiningAct,2003 allows partnership(Joint Venture) in
mineral investment and total transfer of the mineral right.
You are all welcome to invest in Uganda’s mineral sector
