When a mining company arrives, it comes with lawyers, engineers, financial analysts, and a plan years in the making. The community it negotiates with usually has none of these things.
That asymmetry decides outcomes before the first meeting ever takes place. When the Mine Arrives exists to close the gap.
Written by a mediator who has worked on both sides of the table, including years inside a mining company designing its community engagement strategy, this is the practical, honest guide that speaks directly to the communities most affected by mining, in language they can actually use.
Across eighteen chapters and five appendices, it walks your community through every stage of the journey:
- Understand the landscape: how mining projects really work, where your leverage is highest, and what the company wants (and what it fears).
- Get organized: decide who speaks for the community, build a team of allies and advisors, and turn information into power.
- Negotiate well: prepare properly, recognize and counter common company tactics, and secure community benefit agreements with protections that actually hold.
- Protect what matters: win real environmental and health safeguards, and the monitoring needed to enforce them.
- Hold them to it: enforce commitments, resolve disputes, and adapt agreements over the decades a mine operates.
- Handle the hardest situations: when the government is not on your side, indigenous rights and consent, the gender dimensions of mining impacts, artisanal and small-scale mining, and when the answer is no.
The appendices add a due diligence checklist, ready-to-use template letters, a plain-language glossary, and The Twenty Things Every Affected Community Should Know.
Who this book is for: community leaders and members; the farmer watching surveyors peg out land above the village; and the advisors, organizers, lawyers, and NGOs who support them.
This is the community-facing volume of the Social Accord Architecture reference library, the discipline Thomas Gaultier developed to treat company-community engagement as carefully engineered infrastructure: as rigorously designed and durably maintained as the road, the pit, or the processing plant.
About the author: Thomas Gaultier is a mediator and lawyer who has mediated thousands of community claims across Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe, served as a community and social performance officer on a lithium project in Portugal, and trained some of the world's largest mining groups in conflict prevention and resolution. He is admitted to the New York Bar, teaches negotiation and mediation at the Universidade Catolica Portuguesa, and is the author of Mediating Extractive Conflicts and The Human Shock Absorber.
We do not stumble into agreements. We design them.

Right of withdrawal
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
