Aboriginal & Community Overview

AME BC is recognized as an expert in aboriginal and community engagement for the mineral exploration sector.

Responsible mineral exploration is possible only through building and sustaining strong, open, and long-lasting relationships built on trust and mutual understanding. AME BC works with local communities and First Nations to build the positive relationships that are integral to successful resource development.

AME BC provides tools and assistance that allow its members to engage with local communities and First Nations. With an imminent shortage of skilled employees over the next several years, the association also participates in initiatives to develop Aboriginal skills and increase Aboriginal employment in the minerals sector workforce.
