2015 | Lombard, L. | Threat economies and armed conservation in northeastern Central African Republic. | Geoforum, in press available | Africa, Central African Republic | CSR |
| Abstract: This article, based on ethnographic and archival research in the northeastern parklands of the Central African Republic (CAR), explores the area’s history of armed conservation. Critical scholarly accounts of armed conservation practices and projects often starkly contrast the people involved in them: there are agents of the state, or state-like actors, who seek to dominate, territorialize, and discipline, often using violence to do so, and there are local populations who are dispossessed of their lands and resources without compensation and forced into new kinds of poverty, despite rhetoric and practices meant to inculcate "local participation". The case presented here forces us to re-think these accounts. Rather than pursuing authority in the sense of expanding control over other people, people in northeastern CAR (whether putatively in favor of or opposed to conservation) are working to create and maintain access to the status of an income. To do so they engage in practices of threatening and hiding. While the means to use physical force are not equally shared, capacities to threaten and hide are widely held, and organizational and other hierarchies are unstable, making it difficult to describe any of this as a matter of domination and resistance. Expanding on literature that examines processes of green militarization (Lunstrum, 2014), the article focuses on the interactional dynamics of armed conservation to show that threats are as important as acts of physical violence, and that hiding-whether in the bush or plain sight-is critical to understanding armed conservation in an area where the state is largely seen as absent. |

| Abstract: The Journal of African Earth Sciences (Vol. 111, 2015, page 287) has published a "Short Note" entitled "Geoethics: Africa must be respected and heard!" by Lopo Vasconcelos, Jesus Martinez-Frias and Aberra Mogessie, raising an important issue: the need to include ethical issues in the educational systems of Africa. Reference is made to a project aiming at "providing the entire African continent with a roadmap to face the target of geoscience education within a wide scope and a multidisciplinary approach" GEO-ERA (GEOscience Education Roadmap for Africa) promoted and coordinated by the IUGS-Commission on Geoscience Education, Training and Technology Transfer (IUGS-COGE) and the Geological Society of Africa (GSAf). Considering that Education and Ethics must go along together, GSAf and IAGETH (International Association for Geoethics) signed in 2013, after the 24th Colloquium of African Geology, CAG24 (Addis Ababa) a Memorandum of Understanding in order to accomplish this and other goals. |

2015 | Amnesty International | Chains of abuse: the case of diamonds from the Central African Republic and the global diamond supply chain. | Amnestyinternational.org, Sept. 3p. | Africa, Central African Republic | News item - KP, CSR |
| Abstract: Amnesty International has examined three specific points in the global diamond supply chain, starting with diamonds in the Central African Republic (CAR), moving to two of CAR’s neighbours into which some of its diamonds are smuggled, and ending at diamond exchanges in the major global trading centres of Antwerp and Dubai. CAR has been embroiled in armed conflict since late 2012. The report uses CAR as a case study to examine the diamond supply chain but looks beyond the conflict to human rights abuses in the artisanal mining sector in CAR and to other illegal and unethical practices in the diamond supply chain that cause or contribute to human rights abuses – such as smuggling and tax abuse. |

| Abstract: In South Africa, diamond~ are mined predominantly in rural areas. Kimberlitic diamonds dominate in Limpopo and the Northern Cape Provinces whereas alluvial diamonds are mainly soureed from the North West and Northern Cape Provinces. There are a few large and medium sized diamond companies (De Beers, Petra Diamonds, Trans Hex, Rockwell and Alexkor). There are many smaller companies involved in diamond mining, mostly alluvial diamond mines. The nature of alluvial diamond deposits is that they are aerially more extensive and thus their surface impacts are more pervasive: The recent downturn in diamond prices has resulted in the sudden cessation of mining at many small and medium diamond operations. The South African Mining Charter requires all mines, including diamond mines, to subscribe to .the following empowerment objectives: • Human Resource Development • Employment Equity • Non-Discrimination of Migrant Labourers • Increased Procurement from HDSA Communities • Mine Community and Rural Development • Improvement of Housing and Living Conditions • Change in Ownership/Management and Joint Ventures • Increase in Benificiation. Companies are required to report annually on progress in achieving their commitments qnd these interventions are subject to audit. The recent focus on the West Coast of South Africa (Van Wyk et al., 2009) emphasized the ongoing social problems that persist ill mining communities in spite of mines being there for more than half a century. This paper focuses on the delayed implementation of sustainable development strategies by diamond producers and delayed monitoring by government departments. This delay will continue to result in ongoing negative effects. This is seen across all diamond mining regions in South Africa. Towns like Douglas, Barkley West, Swartruggens and Zebedelia will all show similar levels of post closure decay and dereliction. There is evidence that many companies do report on their compliance to the Mining Scorecard requirements. This is particularly easier to see with listed companies where Scorecard compliance is made public. However, the dilemma facing state departments lies with verifying the accuracy of the information and more critically the impact of the strategies and interventions. Ongoing criticism of diamond producers are that they fail to implement local economic development strategies and thereby leave the communities in which they operate severely destitute. What is often overlooked is that the period to 2009 (from the gazetting of the MPRDA until the conversion of old to new order rights)was a period in which many companies were required to establish their baselines, develop plans and submit these for approval. The current Scorecard indicators emphasise planning, implementation and integration of strategies. This. paper will thus examine the measurement of strategy impact (social, economic and environment) on mining communities and recommend some measures of impact that couid be incorporated into an expanded Scorecard. |

| Abstract: Mineral resources have been used for millennia and are a key to society's development. With the growing importance of new technologies and the energy revolution, questions have arisen regarding the future availability of resources of metals and industrial minerals. As discovering large high-grade deposits has become increasingly rare, the concept of “sustainable development” will become viewed as essential to extract metals/minerals from new low-grade deposits. In addition to economic considerations, it is essential to reconcile mining activity with environmental protection and to allay the concerns of local populations. This issue of Elements highlights the progressive movement towards an active environmental and societal strategy for sustainably harnessing mineral resources. |

2017 | De Villiers, J.P.R. | How to sustain mineral resources: beneficiation and mineral engineering opportunities. | Elements, Vol. 13, pp. 307-312. | Global | resources, CSR |
| Abstract: The sustainability of a mineral resource depends, among other aspects, on what the mineral in question will be used for, price fluctuations, future resource requirements, and downstream manufacturing. A balance must be struck between the long-term commitment of developing a mineral deposit against the short-term threats of a changing commercial and social environment. Long-term resource sustainability is dependent both on increased efficiency, which improves profitability, and on revitalizing marginal mines. This is illustrated through breakthroughs in the processing of low-grade copper and refractory gold ores, as well as nickel laterite ores. Retreatment of mine wastes and tailings can also increase the sustainability of mining activity. Ongoing research and development is also helping to sustain mineral resource exploitation. |
