Indigenous Partnerships: The Future of Mining | Training, Community, Ownership & Reconciliation

Meaningful Indigenous partnerships are reshaping the future of mining in Canada. This discussion from THE Mining Investment Event brings together Indigenous leaders, government representatives, industry executives, and policy experts to explore how collaboration is evolving from consultation to true partnership, ownership, and co-development. The conversation highlights the growing importance of Indigenous participation in project planning, infrastructure ownership, economic development, community well-being, and long-term wealth creation. Panelists share real-world examples of how mining projects can generate lasting benefits through shared decision-making, transparent engagement, local employment, infrastructure investment, and Indigenous-led ownership models. Discussions also examine reconciliation, access to capital, government policy, social licence, and the role of Indigenous communities in shaping Canada's resource future.
