A summary of the key findings is outlined below:

Presenters:

General Conclusions

The local communities need to ‘see the whites of your eyes’
Restrictions need to be lifted so miners can meet the communities on their ground.
Constructions approvals processes have been paused due to lack of travel
Financial backing can be secured without a roadshow.
Mining is a very people industry: zoom et al are only a short-term option.
Travel protocols are available on the WTTC website.
The Safe Travels Stamp is designed to show travellers that the country they are travelling too has adopted the WTTC protocols. Over 50 have signed up so far
The objective is to re-establish confidence.
Helpful links to find the most up to date information are included in the WTTC presentation below.
Always check information about the destination country on the government websites AND your home country.
There is no quick fic and we need to look at alternative options
On and off travel restrictions are expected for at least another year. New projects cannot be delayed that long.
You must look at your team in a different way: add 1 question “What other nationalities or residencies do you have?”
You always have the right to go back to your own country
You can solve the problems of mobility by first checking their inventory and Secondly identifying what residencies business owners or key staff need.
Zoom fatigue is setting in – face-to-face is still the best way to build meaningful relationships.
The best option is to secure as many travel documents as you can.
Forward planning for at least the next year is essential
Essential worker status is not a recommended long-term solution for mobility flexibility.
