Impacts on Community Resources
Increased Burden on Resources from Existing Population:
• Best and brightest, who are relied upon for advice and input in
community events, land claims negotiations, and regular meetings,
often cannot participate due to mine employment [24];
• Where communities already have scarce resources (human and
financial) for governance, large mining projects tax the leadership
and staff, often diverting attention from equally important issues
of the community [11].
