02 INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the first ICMM publications guide. This guide has been published to give our stakeholders and the wider community a convenient overview of our work programs and the resources we produce.

We work in partnership with other organizations on many of our projects to enhance the performance of our members and the industry as a whole. The majority of our publications and other resources have been produced in conjunction with other organizations. We hope you find this guide useful in identifying materials that are of interest as well as providing a convenient at-a-glance overview of ICMMs work. This guide will be updated as our work programs evolve and more materials are produced.

All our resources are free and many are available in different languages. Publications can be viewed and downloaded from our website and we have provided a url reference for each publication. We have also provided an order number where printed copies are available.

04 RESOURCE ENDOWMENT INITIATIVE

RESOURCE ENDOWMENT INITIATIVE The challenge of mineral wealth: using resource endowments to foster sustainable development The project has been carried out in three distinct phases: Phase 1: Analytical framework and tools (May 2004 December 2004) The first phase of the initiative concentrated on developing a practical toolkit to assess local, regional and national socio-economic impacts of mining. This was based on an extensive analysis of the performance of 33 mineral dependant countries across a range of socio-economic indicators and research into existing literature on the subject.

Phase 2: Testing, synthesis & emerging lessons (January 2005 December 2006) The Resource Endowment Toolkit was applied to two main and two comparator countries, Peru (with Chile as comparator) and Ghana (with Tanzania as a comparator). The purpose was to test out the Toolkit in the field, to assess whether it could be applied to a broader set of mining countries, and to propose refinements.

The Resource Endowment initiative began in May 2004 in partnership with UNCTAD and the World Bank Group. It aims to help governments, companies and local communities, development assistance agencies and the voluntary sector work together so that mining benefits all citizens.

Following government approval of the four case studies undertaken in phase 2, a pilot study is currently being undertaken in Peru, which aims to develop local partnerships in order to encourage the uptake of recommendations emerging from the project to date. Two further pilot studies are planned and dissemination workshops will be held in Chile and Ghana to provide feedback to those who participated in the phase 2 country work. Running in parallel with dissemination activities and pilot projects is the production of a mineral taxation report which will be incorporated into the relevant section of the Resource Endowment Toolkit.

The third phase of the initiative is now underway.

06 HEALTH AND SAFETY

HEALTH AND SAFETY

At ICMM, we are continuing to develop an extensive health and safety work program to help our members meet their sustainable development commitments. Poor mine safety and health performance has a direct impact on workers, their families and communities, on the mining industry and on government. We assist our members to improve performance by facilitating their working together on common problems and providing a forum for exchange of experiences.

The Minerals Industry Risk Management Gateway (MIRMgate) presents health and safety risk management information relevant to the mining industry. It allows users to find carefully-chosen good practice risk management information, identify hazards through the entire life cycle of operations and get decision-making help for both long- and short-term problems.

08 SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ICMM's socio-economic development work program is aimed at maximizing the social, economic and institutional development contribution of the mining industry to the countries and communities where our members operate. We believe that socio-economic development at the national and local levels depends on strong relationships between mining companies, communities, government and multi-lateral agencies. In developing our projects, we build and maintain working relationships with organizations such as the World Bank, UNCTAD, UNEP and the World Conservation Union (IUCN).

10 MATERIALS STEWARDSHIP
The ICMM materials stewardship work program is built around three core themes which all focus on good practice, the continued development and promotion of sound science and the co-ordination and facilitation of cross commodity activities. MATERIALS STEWARDSHIP Materials stewardship is built on the premise that all participants have a shared responsibility for the performance of the whole materials cycle, well beyond direct operations. ICMM members believe it is important for the mining and metals industry to promote responsible design, use, re-use, recycling and disposal of the materials they produce.

The REACH Metals Gateway supports the mining and metals industry worldwide in its implementation of the new EU Chemicals Legislation. The Gateway, funded by Eurometaux and ICMM, will assist producers and downstream users of minerals and metals by providing vital information and guidance required for REACH compliance. It also provides the user with links to other important resources both within and outside the sector.

12 ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP Our environmental stewardship work program is aimed at continually enhancing the industry's environmental performance. Because of the nature of the mining and minerals industry, much of its work is carried out in parts of the world which boast rich natural resources and are often environmentally sensitive. ICMM members contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and integrated approaches to land use planning as well as respect legally designated protected areas. We recognize the need to work effectively with governments, organizations and local communities in order to make sure that environmental behaviour does not restrict future access to minerals and metals.

The provision of financial assurance is an important issue for ICMM members who are committed to designing and planning all operations so that adequate resources are available to close them down properly. The report is intended to aid governments and companies in their discussions on the application of efficient policies in this area.

Guidance Paper: Financial Assurance for Mine Closure and Reclamation (2006)
This paper provides guidance on environmental financial assurance for mine closure. It is based on research carried out in 2005 on current practices, policies and issues in this area and provides general recommendations for actions by both mine operators and governments that are aimed at improving standards of practice.
