How Does Mine Closure Planning Need to Change to Improve Sustainability?

It is something of a paradox that an industry based on the exploitation of finite resources, which are by definition in decline the moment mining begins, has historically struggled to effectively plan for closure.

Today, with greater scrutiny on the sustainability of capital projects and the ongoing well-being of all stakeholders, miners are being asked to show ahead of development how they will reclaim the landscape and sustain legacy infrastructure, and then in many cases provide a bond to pay for it. With our partners Turner & Townsend, Mining Journal will discuss:

  • Does the mining sector have a cultural problem with mine closure planning?
  • Is industry and stakeholder alignment on closure planning up to scratch?
  • How can miners create revenue-generating closure opportunities?
  • How is technology changing mine closure opportunities?
