Resumen
The need to inform about mining and sustainability has reshaped the perspective on mining investment and its impact on the territories where it takes place. This investment incurs its highest expenditure in the construction of the mine and throughout its entire production stage. An analysis of the economic benefits generated by this investment has shown that between 75% and 85% of the generated value remains in the countries where it is carried out. This distribution of benefits can be measured through the economic NPV (Net Present Value) of the mining project. On the other hand, there is a portion of mining investment that, in comparative terms to the aforementioned, does not involve large expenditures but has a direct and indirect social impact, and its benefits are not easy to evaluate. These investments create tangible and intangible, quantifiable and non-quantifiable impacts on the host communities, extending beyond the lifespan of a mining project. This raises questions: How to quantify the SOCIAL NPV of mining development? What indicators to use? How and who should measure them? What is the time frame of these impacts? It is time to address this analysis and utilize it as a tool in the planning of mineral resource governance to maximize the socio-economic benefits from mining investments.
