Local governance refers to the guidance of the local development of mining and its positive and negative effects in the interaction between different actors. At the time of this study, one of the themes of the Finnish mining debate was how the municipality should prepare for the entry of a mining project into its area. In addition, there was talk about whether, why, and how the mining company should be involved in the development of the area. The situation was new, as it was decades since the previous construction of new mines. Article is based on a qualitative case studies on five Finnish municipalities with metal ore mining was operated or planned. These case studies are examined retrospectively be asking what was desired at that time, what responsibilities and duties between municipalities and mining companies were seen, and to whom did they belong? The article evaluates the situation immediately after the Finnish mining boom.
