From a multidimensional perspective, studies investigate mining operations costs, and benefits, with an emphasis on the sustainability of benefits, and the outcomes of the legal, and consultative processes, in an aim to identify best practices - from the stakeholders' perspectives - in the management of mining development, extraction, and closure phases. It is relevant to note the two factors that affected increased globalization of trade markets in recent years: the decline of the communist trading block, and the increased environmental control in developed countries, being mineral activities in developing, and transition countries one of the most notable. Recommendations suggest that mining sustainability can only be maintained with public, and community support for the social, and economic activities of a region, based on valuable comprehensive environmental reviews of mine projects, and articulated with local populations through employment, and services provision. To this end, training strategies for the formation of "semi-technicians" or, a broader technical formation, should prepare a skilled work force, able to make contributions, and as well, be less dependent on one specific economic sector. But, concerted efforts on participatory local development should focus not only on capacity building, but on strengthening local community leadership beyond the lifecycle of a mine.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOMINING DEVELOPMENTCASE STUDIESMINING INDUSTRYINDIGENOUS POPULATIONSSOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTCULTURAL ASPECTS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTMINING COSTSMINING ROYALTIESLEGAL & REGULATORY FRAMEWORKCONSULTATION WITH MEMBERSSTAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATIONMANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL TRADEGLOBALIZATIONTRANSITION ECONOMIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONPUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSEMPLOYMENT CREATIONSERVICE DELIVERYTRAINING ASSISTANCETECHNICAL TRAININGDEPENDENCY BURDENPARTICIPATORY PROCESSCAPACITY BUILDINGHUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL CAPITALGOLD MINESCOPPER MININGSILVERMERCURYNICKEL INDUSTRYDIAMOND MINESPOTASH INDUSTRYURANIUM MINES ADAPTATIONAGRICULTUREAIRARTISANAL MINERSCLIMATECLOSURECOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCOPPERCOPPER MINECOPPER MINESCULTURAL ISSUESCYANIDEDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDIAMONDSDISCOVERIESECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC IMPLICATIONSECONOMIC RESEARCHEMPLOYMENTENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSEXPENDITURESEXPLOITATIONEXPORTSEXTERNALITIESFAMILIESFINANCIAL RESOURCESGASGDPGOLDGOLD MINEGOLD MINESHEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUESHEAVY METALSHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINDIGENOUS COMMUNITIESINDIGENOUS PEOPLESINDIGENOUS POPULATIONSINTERNATIONAL MININGINTERVENTIONLAND ACQUISITIONLAND ACQUISITION CONTRACTLAND CLAIMSLARGE MININGLARGE-SCALE MINESLARGE-SCALE MININGLEARNINGLEGISLATIONLITERATURELIVING STANDARDSMEDIUM-SCALE MINESMERCURYMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMINE DEVELOPMENTMINE EMPLOYMENTMINE MARKET VALUESMINE OPENINGMINE SITEMINERAL DEVELOPMENTMINERAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIESMINESMINING ACTIVITYMINING COMPANIESMINING COMPANYMINING COUNTRIESMINING DEVELOPMENTMINING HISTORYMINING INDUSTRYMINING OPERATIONMINING OPERATIONSMINING REGIONSMINING SECTORMORBIDITYMORTALITYMULTIPLIER EFFECTSNATURAL RESOURCE CURSENATURAL RESOURCESNEGATIVE IMPACTS OF MININGNICKELOCCUPATIONAL HEALTHOCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETYOILOUTCOMES OF NEGOTIATIONSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION STOCKSPOPULATION GROWTHPOTASHPRESENT VALUEPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCTION PROCESSESPRODUCTIVITYPROSTITUTIONREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESOURCE EXTRACTIONSALTSAVINGSSCHOOLSSIDE PAYMENTSSILVERSMALL- SCALESMALL- SCALE MINESSURROUNDING COMMUNITIESSUSTAINABILITYTAX REVENUESTAXATIONTILETOURISMTOXIC SUBSTANCESURANIUMURANIUM INDUSTRYURANIUM MINEURANIUM MINESURANIUM MININGVENEREAL DISEASESWAGESWEALTHWORKERSZINCInternational Development Research Centre10.1596/0-8213-5002-1
