Rehabilitation & mine closure studies

Identification of high-risk priorities for research or rehabilitation.
Reduction of ongoing environmental liabilities by progressive rehabilitation.
Distribution of rehabilitation and closure costs during the productive phase of mining.
Increased efficiency through reduction of double handling of waste rock and rehabilitation materials.
Ongoing feedback, through monitoring, of the effectiveness of rehabilitation designs.
Facilitation of timely bond recovery and tenement relinquishment.
Early estimation of rehabilitation and closure costs so that sufficient financial and material resources can be set-aside.
Improved access to capital from lending institutions.
Improved access to land resources from governments.
Greater acceptance by key stakeholders.
Reduced, post-closure monitoring and maintenance period for areas rehabilitated earlier during the life of mine.
More land use options, and better flora and fauna outcomes.
