Post-Mining Activities: Rehabilitation and Closure

Rehabilitation ensures the mined area is restored for future use, maintaining environmental balance.

Steps in Mine Closure:

Site Cleanup:
- Removal of machinery like exploration coring drill rigs.
- Addressing residual contamination.

Land Rehabilitation:
- Replanting native vegetation.
- Portable full-hydraulic core drilling rigs support ground stabilization efforts.

Monitoring and Maintenance:
- Continuous assessment of the site's health.
- Wireline exploration machines assist in subsurface stability checks.

Responsible closure practices ensure mining leaves a positive legacy.
