Mine Closure and Rehabilitation

Mine closure and rehabilitation involve planning and implementing steps to safely shut down a mining site once resources are extracted. This process ensures that environmental impacts are minimized, such as stabilizing land, restoring vegetation, and controlling pollution. The goal is to return the area to a safe, stable, and environmentally sustainable state, which may include creating public spaces or returning land for private use. Proper closure and rehabilitation protect ecosystems, prevent hazards, and support community well-being, ensuring the long-term health of the environment after mining operations end.
