The project Establishment of an Environmental and Social Management Framework for the Mining Sector was successfully completed in November 2010. The project was an in-depth investigation of environmental and social issues in the mining sector, and included a countrywide stakeholder consultation.

SGAB initiates work on a study of the mining activities occurring in the bi-national (Mozambique and Zimbabwe) river catchments of Save and Buzi. The work will contribute to a “Joint Integrated Water Resources Management Strategy” for the two rivers. The overall project is being implemented by a Sweco/COWI led consortium, on behalf of SADC.

SGAB has been contracted by Georange (www.georange.se) to lead the development of Guidelines for Consultation & Disclosure in mining-related projects in Sweden. The Guidelines were presented at the Euro Mine Expo 2010, and the final version will be launched towards the end of 2010.
