Mining Impact Specialists Ltd. (MISL) works with corporations and Indigenous communities to re-imagine economies where mining and resource extraction have impacted Land and lifeways by facilitating values-aligned project planning from exploration and planning, through mine operations, closure, and land transition.
Our vision is that through new and innovative ways of collaborating toward end land use through all stages of the project cycle, project partners will create regenerative ecosystems built on values of collective responsibility to the Land and its Peoples.
MISL are on a mission to re-imagine mine planning, from concept through closure, in ways that benefit local people and ecologies well beyond a project’s life span.
We facilitate collaborative project planning and execution by:
Our Mission: To enable mining practices that are not only best in the world but best for the world by facilitating consideration of the widest range of project possibilities so that diverse project partners can plan better projects and land transition strategies.
We advocate for the development of new mining policy and permitting practices that embed traditional knowledge alongside western science-based progress indicators to enable critical cultural and ecological functions to be understood, preserved, and honoured.
We work to equally amplify all voices at the table.
We want to contribute meaningfully to the betterment of this world, as Earth actively contributes to our health, happiness and livelihood. We are passionately committed to understanding that scope through our core values.
Wisdom: We draw from all sources of wisdom and are ready to learn, to honour and uplift cultures and knowledge systems that understand land as living and worthy of reciprocal relationship and care.
Listening: We have profound respect for those who express community values, especially concerning Land that sustains community lifeways. Deep listening allows us to help project partners identify the broadest range of possible outcomes and ever-evolving project strategies to support and sustain life and communities to thrive far beyond project closure.
Legacy: We are working to create something lasting. Believing in the importance of acting meaningfully today, we work tirelessly to build communication and relationship bridges between all parties to pursue and achieve something beyond what we can do as individuals.
With 20 years of experience in mining and mine closure, our expertise facilitates the exploration of the fullest range of science-based findings alongside Traditional knowledge and practices as we work with motivated project partners toward outcomes that promote future ecologies.
Experience has taught us that working together to discover a shared purpose is the only way to successfully address collaborative challenges. People know what their communities and local ecologies need. Mining companies must also evolve to recognize the power and wisdom held by the communities in which they operate. It is our honour and privilege to build crucial bridges that allow the emergence, understanding and application of values-aligned project strategy.
We work with Indigenous communities to articulate values, outline priorities, and develop strategy and corporate collaboration frameworks that write an ongoing story of a reciprocal relationship with the Land, while all parties involved derive economic benefits.
We assess the financial liability of planned, existing or closed mines, and prepare responsible closure cost estimates guided by global mining standards. We engage communities and corporations to collaboratively develop closure plans guided by values-driven land transition planning.
We work to develop common understandings between motivated corporations and communities to enable enduring partnerships anchored in trust and accountability. These partnerships enable mutual economic benefit, sustainable ecologies, and thriving local and Indigenous communities.
