MANAGING RISK IN THE MINING SECTOR: PRACTICAL STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES COURSE LEADERS Doug Bryce, Partner, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP Jeremy Fraiberg, Partner, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP The mining sector has always faced its share of challenges. In the past couple of years, weakness in commodity prices combined with operational challenges have resulted in a downturn in market sentiment towards the sector and contributed to a challenging environment in which to raise new capital. At the same time, stakeholder engagement has become more robust and co-ordinated. Operating successfully in this environment requires vigilance, experience and expertise, as well as staying on top of ongoing developments in a variety of areas. This conference will highlight developments and strategies relating to many of the key risk areas facing mining companies in today's environment, including the mine permitting and project approval process; aboriginal risks; compliance with foreign corrupt practices and anti-bribery legislation; class action and shareholder litigation issues; risks in the transaction context; and foreign investment in Canadian mining projects. This course is aimed at industry participants and corporate counsel that are looking for up to date guidance on best practices and practical strategies for managing risks in a complex industry environment.
