mining regulation

Mining regulation refers to the laws and policies that govern how mining companies explore, extract, and process mineral resources. These regulations ensure that mining activities are conducted responsibly, protecting the environment, public health, and communities. They establish standards for safety, environmental impact assessments, land use, and revenue sharing, and often require permits before operations begin. Regulators monitor compliance and enforce rules to minimize negative effects like pollution or habitat destruction, aiming for sustainable resource management and fair economic benefits.
