Dentons Mining group hosted a month-long webinar series ;in conjunction with the PDAC 2021 conference. Our complimentary series covered trends and developments in key jurisdictions where you do business.

As mining companies navigate with the growing importance of ESG, economic sanctions and capital constraints, making better decisions becomes key to driving business forward. Our panelists discussed what the new frontier of change looks like for the mining sector and how your company can navigate these changes.

ESG has become a key pillar in the success for mining companies globally. In our last session in the series, our panelists from both industry and legal, covered ESG trends in minerals exploration and development.

Topics discussed included:

• Practical Canadian perspective on balancing legislation with cultural differences
• Legal perspective and the impact to investors in the mining sector
• The “G” and what it means for the mining sector
• The impact of ESG and the mining industry in Zambia
• Corporate governance trends – Changing expectations and opportunities
