Mining has been a vital North American industry for centuries. While the minerals being mined have changed, one thing remains constant: we depend on what comes from the earth to advance technologically and economically. Today, the mining industry is seeing an increase in disputes as demand outpaces supply. This trend is exacerbated by the needs of the energy transition.
This panel will start by examining common sources of disputes in the mining industry, from longstanding ESG obligations to supply chain disruptions, and address the unique risks, concerns and other salient issues that arise in mining sector activity, contract drafting and project planning. The panel will then discuss the dispute prevention and resolution strategies employed by companies and their counsel seeking to mitigate risks and efficiently resolve disputes so they can return to supplying global markets.
Panelists will equally dive into some best practices for conducting mining arbitrations and lessons learned from past cases on the procedural, substantive, damages, and advocacy fronts. Other speakers on this panel, which will be moderated by Henry G. “Harry” Burnett (King & Spalding), include Poupak Bahamin (Barrick Gold Corporation), Geoffrey David (Rio Tinto), Juliette Fortin (FTI Consulting) and Rachel Howie (Dentons).
