OBA Nature Resources and Energy Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: July 9, 2020

During the recent health crisis, mines across the country reduced themselves to skeleton staff and minimal production rates to respond to the pandemic. As the economy begins to enter recovery mode, there are a number of legal considerations that are at the forefront for the mining industry. How will government and regulatory agencies mitigate and manage the effects of pandemic on the impact of mines during reopening? Also, how does one address the main concerns of Indigenous communities regarding workers returning to mines and consultation considerations?

Join our panel of experts to hear about these issues and more as the mining industry begins to enter the recovery phase.
