Find an Independent Mining Expert

To provide a shared database of credible, competent, and trustworthy experts to organizations that support Indigenous communities and other communities affected by mining.

FAIME connects Indigenous and other mining-affected communities with trusted, independent experts across a wide range of fields. FAIME experts can be contracted to help communities understand, address, and respond to challenges related to past, current, or proposed mining projects—from technical assessments to economic or environmental analysis. We aim to make it easier for communities to access the knowledge and support they need to protect their lands, rights, and livelihoods. While we welcome requests from communities anywhere in the world, our current work focuses on supporting communities in Latin America, Canada, and the United States.
