The Towards Sustainable Mining initiative of @theminingstory is changing the industry globally. Canada & the world need critical minerals. Equally, we need greener mining. I rose in the @OurCommons to recognize the important work done by @theminingstory. Watch here👇

We are proud to announce that @MineralsCouncil has adopted #TSMining, a #CSR program developed by MAC to improve environmental & social practices in the #mining industry: https://t.co/tqwTBv1ktX

[theminingstory @theminingstory]

Liane Kelly, a @B2GoldCorp Board member, combines 🌎 experience in #CSR & #ESG along with #mineral exploration. She has worked globally supporting companies in their responsible #mining practices and supporting communities in leading their own development #WomensHistoryMonth

.@NRCan's @PhotinieK leads policy devp on priorities relating to 🇨🇦's #mining sector & is the force behind #YourCMMP, the Federal/Provincial-Territorial plan focused on strengthening the industry’s competitiveness and 🇨🇦’s standing as the leading mining nation #WomensHistoryMonth

It was a pleasure to participate in @UNEP’s panel regarding the importance of sustainability standards in the #mining sector, and to highlight the success we’ve seen in 🇨🇦 with #TSMining, @theminingstory's commitment to responsible mining https://t.co/dXUkxdVmDC

[theminingstory @theminingstory]

We are pleased to have played a role in @UNEP's report on sustainability reporting in the #mining sector, specifically on 🇨🇦's leadership in responsible mining practices via #TSMining, and appreciate being able to discuss it further on today's panel discussion

[theminingstory @theminingstory]

Standards play a huge role in the #mining industry, both in 🇨🇦 & around the 🌎, and we are proud that #TSMining is playing an ever increasing role in the #ESG space- listen to our @MiningOnline podcast to learn more, featuring comments from @bchalmers_MAC https://t.co/WdY7I8pRB4

It was a real pleasure to participate on
@CanAfricaBiz's panel today to share the great work of Canadian #mining companies operating in Africa like
@trevali, @kinrossgold, @B2GoldCorp and IAMGOLD. Thank you for including me!

[Canada-Africa Chamber of Business @CanAfricaBiz]

A huge 'Thank you' @MineAfrica, and all the panelists for such great insights shared today. @TMXGroup @CIRDI_ICIRD @LucaraDiamond @miningsuppliers @theminingstory

[theminingstory @theminingstory]

As demand for #minerals & #metals continues to grow there is increasing focus on "critical minerals"-vital to healthcare, defence & clean tech. New polling data shows Canadians want to seize opportunity in critical minerals, learn more: https://t.co/zQKiu1Axbi #NationalMiningWeek

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

To the hundreds/thousands of other industry and non-industry associations out there, join us. Help your local food bank. @foodbankscanada. And a shout out to my colleagues @theminingstory who joined in individually and gave almost another $2K to @OttawaFoodBank

[Ben Chalmers @bchalmers_MAC]

The Chalmers are joining many others in #socialdistancing. Part of our contribution is to keep paying membership dues to organizations we value such as @BMAkanata to help them get through this as well. I encourage others to take the same approach!

[Ben Chalmers @bchalmers_MAC]

According to @DeBeers’ @MpumiZik good listening skills are critical to building relationships with communities. #TSmining’s new community relationships standard focuses on listening to communities to understanding how they view risks and aspirations.

[Christophe Bezou @ChrisBezou]

Interesting session opened by Hon. Minister @mary_ng ! Our discussions focus on “Building Effective and Durable Community Relationship”. Among others, @theminingstory @trevali @DeBeers share lessons learnt and their plans going ahead #CanadaIndaba @MiningIndaba @CanHCZA

[Ben Chalmers @bchalmers_MAC]

.@theminingstory’s @GrattonPierre speaking on the Canada Panel about innovations in our newly updated @TSmining standard on Indigenous and Community Relationships that include new elements on community risk assessment and actions focused on reconciliation.

[Ben Chalmers @bchalmers_MAC]

Exited to be at @MiningIndaba with Canada’s Minister of International Trade @mary_ng who just spoke about Canadian mining leadership in both community relationship building and in clean tech. It’s fantastic to have the Minister with the Canadian delegation!

[Ben Chalmers @bchalmers_MAC]

Very pleased to have had the opportunity to spend a couple of days with @NBergindustri in Oslo, Norway teaching their members about #TSMining!

[Lars-Erik Sletner @bedlasl]

Excited, kick off for Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) here om Oslo/Norway. More commitment for responsible mining ⁦@bchalmers_MAC⁩ ⁦@theminingstory⁩ ⁦@NBergindustri⁩ ⁦@AnitaHeleneHal1⁩

[theminingstory @theminingstory]

Efficient, lightweight vehicles and aircraft need #aluminium, as well as lighter composites and alloys involving #nickel and other #metals, to reduce weight and improve efficiency and #Canada’s oil sands provide the fuel needed to power them #CdnMiningMatters

[theminingstory @theminingstory]

#Canada has all the ingredients needed for the technology that is enabling the transition to a low carbon future. In fact, Canada is home to 14 of the 19 #metals & #minerals needed to make a solar PV panel https://t.co/1IO0yINdcz #CdnMiningMatters

[Ben Chalmers @bchalmers_MAC]

Got a great welcome this morning at #berghostmote2019 in Trondheim, Norway to talk about #TSMining. Thanks for all the members of @NBergindustri for coming out to learn about TSM. @theminingstory looks forward to the possibility of working with Norwegian mining on TSM.
