• "Problems often occur with junior miners moving into mining from exploration," [James McNally] told IM. "They get locked into wrangles with local communities as the demands of different groups increase," he added.

  McNally also said that Anglo-Australian miner, Rio Tinto, was at the forefront of good CSR. "They have to be - it's part of their business model," he said.

  "Almost all mining companies will have a CSR section on their website - the problem lies in delivery," he said. "CSR is not integral enough to the execution of mine development plans," he added.
