Abstract
This is a book review of S Bice Responsible Mining Key Principles for Industry Integrity (Routledge Earthscan London 2016)
 
Highlights
T "(p)erhaps for the first time in the history of the mining industry, the foundations are in place to support responsible mining"
In the last few years mining companies have been targeted as being responsible for environmental damage, social disintegration, poisoning the earth, contributing to climate change and the loss of biodiversity, amongst many other things
What is "responsible mining"? Bice states that despite the fact that the term "'responsible mining' seems at different times and locations: a great ambition, an oxymoron, a noble cause, weasel words, the new way of doing business or a pipe dream", it is "possible and necessary".11. She develops five principles to support her framework for responsible mining
