Mine LIFECYCLE Planning

There is ample history of poor, or lack of, mine planning that has left us with difficult to manage legacies. Similarly, there are opportunities offered by new processing technologies and essential mineral demand that could be exploited had waste rock or tailings logistics been better planned.

At enviroMETS, we advocate for early-stage planning that integrates transformational Post-Mining Land Use (PMLU) strategies into mining operations. By considering waste rock and tailings logistics from the outset, we can unlock future value, particularly as demand for critical minerals and new processing technologies continues to grow.

The Kidston site, now repurposed as a pumped hydro facility, demonstrates how early planning could have embedded key infrastructure into mine operations, reducing remediation costs and enhancing economic outcomes.
