Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the Earth, usually from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposit.These deposits form a mineralized package that is of economic interest to the miner. Ores recovered by mining include metals, coal, oil shale, gemstones, limestone, chalk, dimension stone, rock salt, potash, gravel, and clay.

Sustainability. We have adopted sustainable business practices to ensure we are a welcome member of our communities. We are committed to maximising the positive outcomes of our operations for our people, our host communities and our host nations.

Mining is a temporary activity, with mines operating from anywhere between a few years and a few decades. Increasingly, however, what happens after a mine is closed, and the impact this has on the local community and environment, has an important influence on the competitiveness of the mining operation.

sustainability, have been tarnished by mining operations. When these operations come to an end, the mine shafts are often left open and neglected, with mines claiming that they have insufficient funds for rehabilitation. Our research reveals that corruption in mining does not arise as a result of one particular issue. We found that many of the issues stem from the fact that the legislation ...

"mining" and "minerals" paired with "sustainable development" and "sustainability". Priority has been given to peer-reviewed articles with a relatively high degree of citation rate and/or articles that have been recently published, and that explicitly deal with "sustainable development", "sustainability" and mining.

Sustainable Mining through Collaborative Governance at Red Dog Operations. The success of Teck's Red Dog Operations, one of the northernmost mines in North America, is the result of a unique and innovative operating agreement between a mining company and Indigenous Peoples. Signed in 1982, this agreement between Teck and the land-owner NANA, a Regional Alaska Native corporation .

and local economic development linked to mining operations. This assessment aimed at identify-ing international practices -from governments and the private sector- that aim to support broader wealth and job creation derived from mining operations. The assessment was carried out by Oxford Policy Management. The project manager was Maja Jakobsen. The remaining team members were Alan .

Norway is investing away from its traditional emissions heavy, oil and gas markets. Some of the world's largest companies are going to great lengths to embrace sustainable operations with global mining giant BHP recently announcing to the market, major sustainability initiatives with Rio Tinto not far behind in timing and content.

5-6-2020 · What is Mining Sustainably? Mining sustainably is aspiring to achieve the goals set out in the United Nations SDG's which is much more than reducing emissions, installing a solar farm or building a concrete bund to contain hydrocarbons. It is about engaging with the community and aspiring to deliver positive community and social outcomes.

At Taharoa, only about 4,000 tonnes of fresh water each day is added to the water system for the mining and concentration operation. When a ship is loaded with ironsand up to 60,000 tonnes of water a day is used. Since 1970 the mining operations have increased their recycling of water, thereby reducing water discharge. They have also increased the use of stormwater, reducing the volume of ...

Read more the environment. In some mining jurisdictions, the mining right is composed of a bundle of obligations which the mining company must adhere to.

1-1-2011 · In a review of the literature on sustainability in mining, it was found that there is limited guidance for mine operators to put sustainability frameworks and theory into action on the ground. This paper argues that operators can improve the sustainability of their mine sites by ensuring that leading practices are implemented in five areas.

sustainable development to mining operations. „Sustainable development‟, an all-inclusive, somewhat ambiguous concept basically means economic and social development that endures over the long-term and its core ethic is intergenerational equity. The government should primarily be concerned with the „legal framework‟ for sustainable mineral development and ensure that the relevant laws ...

23.05.2019 · In mining, green technology refers to technology that will reduce carbon emissions in operations and mitigate adverse environmental impacts. How can these new technologies help the mining sector become more environmentally sustainable? This was the focus of our event, New Technologies: The future of mining in the Americas. Marina Ruete, IGF's ...

These funds are now demanding for more sustainable mining practices (mainly tailings related) and mining companies are trying to comply. Smaller mining companies thus far don't have this third master to satisfy, although that may come soon. Hence smaller miners are apt to follow a somewhat different path with regards to sustainable mining implementation. NPV plays a significant role in their ...
