Independent review of the BHP diamond mine process / by the Canadian Institute of Resources Law (CIRL). : R72-262/1997E

CIRL was asked to conduct an independent review of the regulatory and negotiated processes that led to the final approval of the diamond mine proposed by BHP Diamonds Inc. (BHP) in the Lac de Gras area of the Northwest Territories (henceforth the BHP processes). Two principal objectives were specified for CIRL's review: (1) to document the BHP processes; and (2) to assess whether the rules set in place for the BHP project should become the norm for mineral development in the North. This report is based on in-depth interviews with people directly involved in the BHP processes and on a selective review of relevant documentation. A list of people interviewed is included as Appendix 1.--Page i
