In the CLC area, much of the mining activity takes place west of Alice Springs in the Tanami Desert, where Newmont operates the Granite gold mine and thousands of square kilometres of land are explored. An agreement must be reached for the mining industry so that the mining industry can continue. The mining industry generally has a significant impact on the environment and can have an impact on neighbouring communities. The decision that traditional owners must make when granting the authorization is therefore quite onerous. Aboriginal land mining contributes more than $1 billion a year to the Northern Territory`s economy and accounts for 80 per cent of the territory`s mining revenues. A Guide to Mining and Mining for Aboriginal Communities – provides fundamental explanations of mine sequence, from exploration to mining closure, including the regulatory process, socio-economic opportunities and successful partnerships. Mining Essentials: Training for Aboriginal Peoples – provides an overview of career choices and opportunities and provides practical information to attract Aboriginal men, women and youth to a rewarding career in the mining sector. Aboriginal Participation in the Mining Industry (1.05 MB) — a newsletter that focuses on common topics related to Aboriginal populations and mining people, including environmental practices, business and career opportunities. It is generally accepted that central Australia has a large, mostly untapped, resource with high potential to cope with labour shortages.
Since many of these potential workers have little or no work experience, the central regional council`s employment is an important link between the Aboriginal jobseeker and the employer. Interactive map of Aboriginal mining agreements – provides information on exploration and mine production projects, indigenous communities signing agreements and types of negotiated agreements. Its mining provisions give Aboriginal landowners reasonable control over their lands and provide an orderly, transparent and fair access process for the interests of exploration and mining. Fortunately, the Aboriginal Land Rights Act protects traditional Aboriginal landowners and allows the Land Council to enter into agreements with mining companies that satisfy all interested parties. The CLC is legally responsible. Aboriginal landowners receive protection from sacred sites, environmental protection, some compensation and sometimes employment and training. Mining companies enter into clear, reliable and sustainable agreements without the confusion and uncertainty that can characterize mining exploration elsewhere. Traditional owners have renewed the leases of Mereenie Gasfeld and Palm Valley for a further 21 years after signing contracts a few years ago.
