The Canadian mining industry is confronted with community issues over land access, benefits, and environmental risk. The industry needs to develop a strong understanding of how it can contribute more tangible value and assurance of responsible management of the land. Adequate attention to accommodation and rights and title must be accompanied also by transparent collaborative and participatory planning to the benefit of all parties.******The first of two projects in this proposal focuses on mining industry leadership, attempting to characterize attitudes towards adopting the concept of Shared Value, beyond the current fashion of Social Licence to Operate. Many mining communities, particularly First Nations, are in remote locations, often in a state of poverty, and poor health and wellness. Shared value offers the means to collaboratively resolve how the mine can respectfully improve the health and wellbeing of the community without placing at risk traditional indigenous values, thus forming a durable and effective partnership. The project will conduct qualitative research to characterize the outlook of Canadian industry leaders and their strategies for adding value to the next generation of mining communities. The research student will spend time interfacing with industry leaders as well as a period spent at the Sustainable Mining Institute at the University of Queensland, alongside prominent and pertinent researchers. Project deliverables will be a credible strategy and framework for adapting the shared value concept into sustainable mine development.***The second project is built around existing relationships with the Tlicho Research and Training Institute (TRTI ) in Yellowknife, NWT. The Tlicho nation communities are remote, small and dispersed around several significant diamond mines. The Tlicho government mission is "to preserve and protect our lands, language, culture and way of life . for as long as this land shall last." The project will collaborate with TRTI, UofA and UVic. It will study the accelerating and widespread Canadian phenomenon of building roads to the north to support new mining development. These roads provide access to pristine areas and their routes traverse indigenous territory often in close proximity to small, remote indigenous communities. Many of these communities are currently dealing with their own significant social and health issues. Critical questions are: what are the risks to such communities and how can they be mitigated by adherence to a code that the mining industry can adapt as best practice? The project aims to highlight issues and to inform industry, government and communities. The project will be undertaken by a sequence of two Masters students who will spend an appreciable time in the communities and mines supervised by an interdisciplinary academic and community team.***

加拿大采矿业面临着土地使用、利益和环境风险等社区问题。该行业需要深入了解如何能够贡献更多的有形价值，并确保负责任地管理土地。在充分注意住宿以及权利和所有权的同时，还必须进行透明的合作和参与性规划，以使所有各方受益。本提案中的两个项目中的第一个项目侧重于采矿业领导力，试图描述对采用共享价值概念的态度，超越目前的社会运营许可证。 许多采矿社区，特别是第一民族，位于偏远地区，往往处于贫困状态，健康状况不佳。 共享价值观提供了一种手段，以合作方式解决矿山如何能够尊重地改善社区的健康和福祉，而不危及传统的土著价值观，从而形成持久和有效的伙伴关系。该项目将进行定性研究，以描述加拿大工业领导者的前景及其为下一代采矿社区增加价值的战略。该研究生将与行业领导者进行交流，并在昆士兰州大学可持续矿业研究所与杰出的相关研究人员一起度过一段时间。项目成果将是一个可靠的战略和框架，用于将共享价值观融入可持续矿业发展。***第二个项目是围绕与西北地区耶洛奈夫的Tlicho研究和培训学院（TRTI）的现有关系而建立的。 Tlicho族社区地处偏远，规模小，分散在几个重要的钻石矿周围。特里乔政府的使命是“维护和保护我们的土地、语言、文化和生活方式。只要这片土地还存在“该项目将与TRTI，UofA和UVic合作。它将研究加拿大为支持新的矿业开发而向北修路的现象。这些道路提供通往原始地区的通道，其路线穿越土著领土，往往靠近小型、偏远的土著社区。其中许多社区目前正在处理自己的重大社会和健康问题。 关键问题是：这些社区面临哪些风险，如何通过遵守采矿业可作为最佳做法加以采用的守则来减轻这些风险？该项目旨在突出问题，并向工业、政府和社区提供信息。该项目将由两名硕士生进行，他们将在跨学科学术和社区团队的监督下在社区和矿山中度过可观的时间。
