Mine Waste Management

Mine waste management refers to the processes and practices used to handle the byproducts of mining operations, which can include rock, minerals, and chemicals left over after the extraction of valuable materials. Proper management is essential for minimizing environmental impacts, such as soil and water contamination, and for ensuring the safety of surrounding communities. This involves strategies like recycling materials, safe disposal in designated areas, and monitoring to prevent pollution. Effective mine waste management not only protects the environment but also supports sustainable mining practices, balancing economic benefits with ecological responsibility.
