Thank you for your interest in joining the Find-An-Independent-Mining-Expert database, a shared database of global experts available to provide services to Indigenous and non-governmental organizations that support communities affected by mining. The FAIME database aims to securely catalog experts offering diverse skill sets to non-industry clients and to facilitate contact between experts and organizations that support communities. 

For security reasons, the FAIME database is not public, and only subscribing organizations that have signed FAIME's security and collaboration agreements have access to the database. Note that all personal information will be securely stored and managed as per the database's privacy and confidentiality agreement, and that participation in the database is entirely voluntary. You may request to add, change or delete personal information featured in the database at any time. After submitting your information, you will be contacted by the project team regarding next steps. For more information, see the FAIME’s Information Guide or contact info@faimedatabase.org.
