The normal photograph of mining agencies working with little regard for nature or neighborhood populations is, at the present time, not exact. security of our surroundings, of mine employees, and of within reach groups has develop into approximately as a lot a priority as placing "rock within the box." With case reviews from Chile, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, and the U.S., this booklet indicates how mining organizations which are the most productive in extracting minerals also are higher at holding the surroundings.

Similar in-depth training programs, concentrating on environmental management, could be built into many of the proposed mineral-investment projects throughout the world. Preference could be given to investors and technology suppliers with proven environmental-management competence and a willingness to transfer their skills and knowledge. It cannot be overemphasized that all technology transfer and training efforts represent a cost to the supplier, and this cost must be covered to ensure optimal results.
Participants receive a combination of academic and on-the-job training in the operations both at home and overseas. Accelerated managerial training is possible through exposure to on-the-job problem-solving situations, with experienced colleagues, in a range of challenging technical scenarios.

Punitive regulations thus put development objectives at risk, which in turn threatens the economic part of the sustainable-development equation. The other problem is that this strategy threatens the environmental part of that equation by pressuring firms to move into the close-down, cleanup quadrant of the corporate environmental trajectory (C in Figure 2). As noted earlier, this is an unattractive option because the pollution problems associated with decommissioning and rehabilitating mining sites can be horrendous and often become a responsibility of the state.
