Benefits from mining projects
How should a country expect to gain from the minerals sector and new projects?
• One of the most immediate ways should be through additional employment – both
direct and indirect.
• Mining activity also generates new infrastructure such as roads, railway lines,
electricity supplies, schools, and hospitals that, although provided for the minerals
industry and its work force, can also benefit the rest of the population.
• At the local level, it should contribute to the development of skills and local
businesses.
• Meanwhile the economy as a whole can be stimulated as minerals companies forge
multiple outward linkages – backwards to industries that supply goods and services, or
forwards to industries that process mineral outputs.
• World Bank studies of mining activities around the world suggest that every dollar that a
company spends on a mine generates another US$2.80 elsewhere in the economy
Benefits from mining projects
Although many countries have benefited greatly from minerals extraction, for a number of
reasons others have failed to capitalize on the opportunities brought by mining. The ability to
manage mineral wealth effectively has lagged behind the ability to attract mineral
investment.
• A key challenge for many countries is to develop policy frameworks to ensure that
mineral wealth is captured and creates lasting benefits for local communities and the
broader population. This framework must recognize that production from a specific
mineral deposit has a finite life span; when the mine closes, it is vital that there is
something to show for it in the form of improved stocks of other forms of capital.
• Whether deposits turn out to be a blessing or a curse will largely depend on governments
– on the quality of their institutions, on their capacity to manage these resources well and
use them to catalyse development, and on their interactions with companies, civil society,
and other actors.
• A universal formula for the distribution of wealth within countries is clearly inappropriate.
The choice of formula should be determined by each nation according to domestic
priorities and political systems.
• However, central control of all mineral revenues is unlikely to be appropriate. A proportion
of benefits needs to be distributed through local administrative structures to enable them
to take advantages of the opportunities presented by mineral development and to
prepare for the transition to a post-mineral economy.

GRUYERE GOLD PROJECT
• 7.5 – 8.8 Mt/a gold mine located in the
Yamarna belt of Western Australia’s Eastern
Goldfields
• Engineering commenced Q1 2017
• Site activities commenced July 2017
• Current plant life ~13.5 years
• ACJV contract price ~$300M

PROJECT OVERVIEW
ACJV is committed to offering employment, training and commercial opportunities for local and Indigenous people and businesses over the life of the Project by adopting an affirmative approach which includes:
• Direct employment through the Contractor’s recruitment department;
• Working closely with Cosmo Newberry Aboriginal Corporation who represent the Yilka people to identify and engage with local Indigenous applicants;
• Transfer of existing Indigenous employees;
• Providing employment and training opportunities to local and Indigenous people both directly within the Contractor and within our subcontractor workforce;
• Engaging Indigenous contractors as suppliers both directly within the Contractor and our subcontractors; and
• Ensuring that any industry specific or on-the-job training provided during the Project incorporates pathways to employment and career pathway options that will extend beyond the life of the Project i.e. possible link to production opportunities. 25
