Minerals industry recarch assignment

Background
All major mining projects in Canada must pass through an environmental assessment process. A goal of this process is to ensure that mining projects meet the goals of sustainability.

The three pillars of sustainability are often considered to be:

Environmental protection (air, water, plants, animals, health)
Economic growth (benefits to local and national communities, development of long-term economic capacity, jobs)
Social equity (open communication, education, respect, accommodation, improvement in social capacity)
