Mining New Opportunities - Teacher's Guide

The MINING NEW OPPORTUNITIES "Teacher's Resource and Speaker's Guide" contains 13 learning activities for educators teaching youth in junior, intermediate and senior grade levels. The learning activities are designed to build on the themes presented by the video/DVD. Explore the mining process, discover careers in the mining industry, create a venture plan for a new business, investigate how sustainable development applies to mining and unearth the importance of rocks, minerals, metals and mining in everyday life.

The Speaker's Guide component has been created to assist mining industry professionals, whether from industry or government, wishing to use the MINING NEW OPPORTUNITIES video/DVD as a communications tool to complement their existing efforts to improve understanding of the nature of the minerals industry in First Nations communities and elsewhere.
