Mine Closure

The process of understanding and planning for mine closure is challenging and often given insufficient attention in the early stages of mine development.  With increasingly stringent legislation and standards for mine closure and reclamation, it is important to engage with the subject early in the project lifecycle and set expectations of what will happen when your mine closes.

We routinely incorporate reclamation and closure planning into feasibility studies, operating plans, due diligence assessments, and many other areas. Through establishing a closure vision with clear success criteria and key closure objectives and actions, we meet expectations and requirements for each stakeholder group. Based on our extensive knowledge, we develop closure designs that are realistic and practical to implement for the site-specific conditions of each project. This includes helping mining companies develop strategies for artisanal and small-scale mining. Monitoring sites post-closure, enables us to validate performance predictions and determine whether permitting and other success criteria are being met.

Our teams have prepared closure plans for most mineral commodities, in almost all types of environments, for more than 250 projects globally. We can help you achieve significant economic savings for your project while improving sustainability by maximizing beneficial post-closure land uses for adjacent communities.
