Mining in a DRIPA World
The convergence of the push for Critical Minerals and the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is changing the nature of relationships in mining.
think: act is active with Inspire Resources, a mining company that seeks to upend the value proposition of mining.
The way that mining is organized is deeply colonial, so think: act works with mining companies, investors and governments to help make the transition to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC).
Think: act brings a combination of:
Experience in Indigenous community engagement and co-designing initiatives with Indigenous communities;
Expertise in helping organizations to engage more successfully with First Nations and Indigenous communities
Inspire Resources is working with a range of industry partners to build capacity for miners to make the change to a new way that includes:
Free, Prior and Informed Consent, from the point at which a claim is staked
Communities co-own and co-design mines in partnership with mining companies
Communities have a long-term plan that the resource project can support so that the community is better off afterwards
Revenue from mining support long-term sustainable development for rural and Indigenous communities.
