Mining Regulations and Governance
Mining regulations and governance are the rules and systems that oversee how mining activities are conducted responsibly and sustainably. They set standards to protect the environment, ensure worker safety, and prevent illegal or harmful practices. Governments create these frameworks to manage resource extraction, granting licenses, monitoring compliance, and enforcing penalties when rules are broken. Good governance ensures transparency, accountability, and fair distribution of benefits, helping balance economic development with environmental protection and social responsibility. Overall, these regulations aim to achieve sustainable mining that benefits society while minimizing negative impacts.
