REPURPOSING AS-MINED LANDFORMS

Traditional mine rehabilitation focuses on returning land to its past use in a safe, stable, and non-polluting state, as required by regulations. However, this default approach often fails to generate the economic returns needed to sustain the long-term management of post-mining features, such as tailings storage facilities (TSFs), rock dumps, and voids.

At enviroMETS, we believe a higher-value, productive Post-Mining Land Use (PMLU) strategy is essential to ensure that post-mining landscapes are not just safe and stable, but also economically viable and beneficial. Simply filling in the land to recreate low-value natural or agricultural landforms often fails to provide the financial and social returns necessary for ongoing site management. 

Instead, a transformative PMLU approach prioritises repurposing mining land into economically and environmentally productive assets. 

By identifying and demonstrating the economic potential of higher-value PMLU solutions, enviroMETS is driving a more sustainable, productive future for post-mining landscapes.
