SRK has been involved in the closure and Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) cost estimation for a client with seven mines located in four different states in Mexico. The ARO costs are currently being updated every two years, involving a continuous collaboration with the client. SRK has identified new opportunities to optimise the closure strategy and decrease closure costs based on site specific information generated by scientific and engineering studies. SRK has also provided training to the project staff, helping them to understand the closure process as a multidisciplinary effort.
