EDITOR ’ S COMMENT WELCOME TO THE DECEMBER issue of Mining Global ! In this month ’ s issue , we take a look at the introduction of the Model Mining Code from the World Initiative of Mining Lawyers and the impact it will have on policy makers , governments and NGO ’ s across the global industry .
We also look at the importance of Governance Risk and Compliance ( GRC ) and how Exarro managed to save over $ 800k through the implementation of SAP solutions and a complete restructure of the company ’ s approach to GRC .
How important is Corporate Social Responsibility and community engagement to a mining organisation ? We try to answer that question with 10 of our most notable examples of CSR , from building school infrastructures in the DRC to award winning biodiversity research in the UK .
With World Aids Day upon us , Anglo American takes Mining Global through the company ’ s work towards supporting HIV / Aids sufferers and how big a role mining companies can play in better serving employees across the industry .

Enjoy the issue !
