The document outlines a research study focused on the enduring community value derived from mining, investigating benefits during and post the mine's life cycle. It employs various methods including case studies and the social return on investment to assess economic impacts on communities and aims to enhance community resilience while ensuring long-term benefits from mining activities. The project involves multiple case study locations and collaborations with industry and academic partners to achieve these objectives.

Project briefings May 2012: Enduring community value from mining
- 1. Regional Economies – Enduring Community Value from Mining Professor Fiona Haslam McKenzie Dr Boyd Blackwell Paulina Sepulveda-Bravo
- 2. Research Questions Five research components focused on answering: What constitutes enduring community value from mining? What is the nature of benefits flowing from resource industries in specific, remote places and how could these be managed to ensure a flow of enduring benefits to communities and SMEs during and beyond the mine’s life? • What are the synergistic opportunities for local economies which have the potential to build long-term benefit, exceeding the life of the mine? • What are the size and flows of benefits and costs generated by a mining (and related processing) activity over its lifecycle and where are these impacts felt spatially and by whom? • What strategies will enhance leveraging for both communities and mines to achieve ‘community benefit’? • What are the essential devices for fostering community resilience? 2
- 3. Methods Mine lifecycle planning (UNE PhD) • Case studies comparing and contrasting mines at different stages of the mine lifecycle • Map the nature and intensity of costs and benefits flowing from mine and impact on different stakeholders. Corporate social responsibility (UniSA) • Case studies to assess ability of different corporate activities to generate community and corporate benefits. • Measurement of the socio-economic relationships using social return on investment (SROI) methodology. Benefits from royalties, taxes & State Agreements (Curtin) • Mix of qualitative (SROI) and quantitative methods (Input:Output) 3
- 4. Methods (2) Economic impact of mine operation expenditure (UNE) • Combination of qualitative and quantitative methods Input-output model and GIS maps tracking income/expenditure distribution Socio-economic costs and benefits for mining communities of automation and long distance commuters compared to a residential workforce (Curtin) • Case studies and social return on investment 4
- 5. Project Outcomes Communities will be able to: Achieve long-term social and economic benefits from short-term investments by mining companies Build resilience that enables them to withstand mining lifecycle fluctuations Ensure that they retain both economic and social benefits of mining activities for the long-term benefit of current and future community members Build their capacity to identify, communicate and question opportunities for ‘community benefit’. 5
