A question of proportion – balancing economic development & cultural preservation
To be successful, CHM must allow
economic development without
destroying a traditional lifestyle.
“Respect for culture and heritage
is integral to the way Rio Tinto conducts business.
Wherever we operate, our businesses work with
local and indigenous communities on
the protection of their cultural heritage.
We do this because there is a strong business case
for doing so.”
Sam Walsh, chief executive, Rio Tinto

A new approach
“In CRA, we believe there are major opportunities for growth in outback Australia which will only be realised with the full co-operation of all interested parties”
The Native Title Act….”laid the basis for better exploration access and thus increased the probability that the next decade will see a series of CRA operations developed in active partnership with Aboriginal people”

Why a regional Cultural Heritage Plan (CHP)?
OT Social Impact Assessment identified cultural heritage as one of their key concerns:
1. Increase in looting and disturbance of significant sites - archaeological and paleontological
2. Increased in-migration (the majority non-Mongolian) will cause a weakening of local traditions and cultural identity
3. The project’s economic impact will lead to better prospects for preserving and protecting cultural heritage
“Locals are concerned that
objects and traditions may
be lost but remain cautiously
optimistic that mining
operations will provide
better opportunities to
support local museums,
protect resources in situ,
restore and conserve
damaged cultural items, and
encourage heritage tourism.”
(OT SIA, 2008)

Working with extractives companies
• Mining companies (and O&G) are not single minded entities – ascomplex as any institution or society and with as many differentagendas to navigate.
• It will take time
