How it works

It includes neighboring communities in planning, monitoring and accessible complaint mechanisms.

Mining management includes exploration, extraction, treatment, community relationship, closure and subsequent surveillance.

  • There are resources and responsible during operation and closure
  • Results can be reviewed independently

How to apply it

    Delimit the measurement and measure the starting position.

  2. 2

    Apply the measure with competent personnel and check for site-specific risks.

  3. 3

    Follow results, maintain the solution and correct unwanted effects.

Potential benefits
