I am a French-Canadian with a passion and interest in Africa and mining, having lived on the continent for more than two decades. My main interests in mining lie in the sector’s growing expansion in Africa and the effects this expansion has had on the environment, governments and communities where mining companies operate. The mining of natural resources is essential for the continued existence of the human race; it is our responsibility to make sure that this practice is conducted in the safest and cleanest way possible and one that is also beneficial to the poor areas where mining operations are usually located. I have joined the WikiProject Mining to show my commitment to the mining efforts on Wikipedia, but I am also interested in geography, history and all aspects of the world of politics – in particular corruption and scandals.
