Leveling the playing field

For 10 years, we’ve helped resource-rich governments secure a fair share of revenues from the world’s most powerful energy and mining companies. Now, we bring that expertise to Indigenous governments in Canada. 

Most energy and mining negotiations with Indigenous governments promise impact-based reparations or economic growth programs. But they often ignore the biggest opportunity: securing a fair share of the revenue generated from the resource.

Resources for Development levels the playing field with:

  • Industry-standard economic analysis
  • Expertise in revenue-sharing options
  • Comprehensive negotiation and monitoring support

We only ever work on the Indigenous governments side of the table.
