International Mining Law Short Course This three-and-one-half-day international mining law short course, with an optional tour of an active mining operation and World Heritage Site mining town, is intended to provide international mining law practitioners, company managers, and related professionals with a solid foundation in the legal concepts, key agreements, and social and sustainability issues that are essential for anyone involved in mining projects or advises clients in international or cross-border mining or mining-related transactions. The diverse faculty are highly esteemed and widely experienced practitioners and academics from 11 countries who are known for their expertise in mining tenure systems, transactions, development, operations, agreements, and sustainability. The short course is ideal for early- to mid-career professionals, but more experienced attendees will also benefit from the course, which will address both legal “nuts and bolts” aspects and more advanced concepts, taking into account core industry contractual relations encountered and the practical and social realities of successful mining activities within the context of their broader societal benefits and impacts.
