From Duty to Opportunity: Indigenous Consultation in Mining Transactions
CPD for Lawyers: 1 Substantive Hour
REGISTER
The duty to consult and accommodate Indigenous Peoples is a critical aspect of implementing and operating mining projects across Canada. The nuances of meaningful Indigenous consultation, including under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, have real and growing implications for public and private mining companies doing business in Canada, whether they are seeking to expand or continue their existing operations, secure financing or enter into business combination transactions.
Join members of our Capital Markets Group and Indigenous Practice Group for a practical discussion on legal obligations, governance considerations and best practices that support compliant, sustainable and successful mining operations.
Topics include:
- Developments in consultation and accommodation for mining projects in Canada, from exploration to closure, including project agreements, Indigenous-led environmental assessments and the impact of “fast tracking” legislation
- Updates on Indigenous equity participation and co-ownership in the mining sector
- Evolving continuous disclosure obligations and other capital markets considerations for public mining companies
- Impacts of the duty to consult on negotiating and closing M&A transactions for both public and private mining companies
