Mining Impact Specialists Ltd. work with both corporations and Indigenous communities to re-imagine economies of which natural resource extraction is only one part. We do so by facilitating values-aligned project planning from exploration through mine operations, closure, and land transition. Our vision is that through new and innovative ways of collaborating toward end land use, project partners will create regenerative ecosystems built on values of collective responsibility to the Land.
Mining Impact Specialists Ltd. are on a mission to re-imagine mine planning, from concept through closure, in ways that benefit local people and ecologies well beyond a project’s life span.
We facilitate collaborative project planning and execution by:
Our mission is to enable mining practices that are not only best in the world but best for the world. We do this by facilitating consideration of the widest range of project possibilities so that diverse project partner groups can plan better projects and land transition strategy.
We advocate for development of new mining policy and permitting practices that embed traditional knowledge alongside western science-based progress indicators to enable critical cultural and ecological functions to be understood, preserved, and honoured.
We are amplifying the signal.
Mining Impact Specialists Ltd. is committed to collaboration with integrity. At our core, we believe that CWI is possible when all partner values are understood as the basis from which all exploration and project planning respectfully proceeds.
True partnership comes from understanding that the widest range of possibilities exists where we have built strong relationships. Our vision is to drive change in the dynamics between corporations and Indigenous communities to create ongoing collaboration where enduring knowledge and innovation come together to build better futures.
Wisdom: We are instinctively drawn to wherever wisdom shows up and seek to be her perpetual students. We honour and uplift cultures and knowledge systems that understand land as living and worthy of reciprocal relationship and care.
Listening: We have profound respect for those who express community values, especially concerning Land that sustains community lifeways. Through deep listening, we help project partners identify the broadest range of possible outcomes and ever-evolving project strategies that sustain life and thrive far beyond project closure.
Contribution: Our deepest wish is to contribute meaningfully to the betterment of this world, as Earth actively contributes to our health, happiness and livelihood. The scope of this contribution will only widen as time continues and we are passionately committed to understanding that scope.
Legacy: We at Mining Impact Specialists Ltd. are trying to create something lasting. We believe in the importance of the current moment and will work tirelessly to build communication and relationship bridges between all parties to pursue and achieve something beyond what we can do as individuals.
With 20 years of experience in mining and mine closure, our expertise facilitates the exploration of the fullest range of science-based findings alongside Traditional knowledge and Natural Law as we work with motivated project partners toward outcomes that promote future ecologies.
Experience has taught us that working together to discover a shared purpose is the only way to address collaborative challenges. People know what their communities and local ecologies need. Mining companies must also evolve to recognize the power and wisdom held by the communities in which they operate. It is our honour and privilege to build crucial bridges between common understandings that allow the emergence and understanding of values-aligned project strategy.
We assess the financial liability of planned, existing or closed mines, and prepare responsible closure cost estimates guided by global mining standards. We engage communities and corporations to collaboratively develop closure plans guided by values-driven land transition planning.
We work to develop common understandings between motivated corporations and communities to enable enduring partnerships anchored in trust. These partnerships enable mutual economic benefit, sustainable ecologies, and thriving local and Indigenous communities.
We work with Indigenous communities to articulate values, outline priorities, and develop strategy and corporate collaboration frameworks that write an ongoing story of reciprocal relationship with the Land, while all parties involved derive equitable economic benefit.
We develop strategy and engagement frameworks that account for the fullest range of closure planning and ongoing technical studies as well as identifying when, what and how critical information must be shared to both build trust but invite critical feedback to deepen corporate understanding of desired engagement Partners. We also work with companies to ensure that new frameworks developed account for regulatory and industry requirements as well as ensuring that they are intelligible to Community members.
