This report is intended as a checklist and guidebook on best practices related to mining. It aims to present a basis for action within South Eastern Europe and the Tisza River Basin towards the development of regulatory frameworks and governance guidelines suitable for the support of a modern mining industry in the region. In particular, the report seeks to present a number of options and ideas that can be applied to address the funding and execution of mine closure and mine rehabilitation while still achieving social and economic conditions suitable for new and ongoing mining activities.

This thesis is about the Ok Tedi mine in Papua New Guinea. Throughout the literature on mining and communities, there is a split between the technical and the social. Technical mining - the engineering, environmental, planning and operations - do not ordinarily consider communities beyond the technical aspects of community relations - housing, employment, transport - rather approaching communities in a sanitised, corporate manner. There is plenty of discussion about environmental aspects of mine closure already, but it is important to have an extended discussion and create a space for debate about the roles of mining companies in developing sustainability plans that are for communities, not just the environments they exist in. The Ok Tedi mine has a unique institutional aspect that has grown with the mine - the Ok Tedi Mining Complex - which is inhabited by various governmental and non-governmental organisations. The mine closure and sustainability planning process under the OTMC is unique to Ok Tedi mine, as there is no other mine in PNG that is guided by the same legislation, norms, and cultural frameworks. The OTMC is dominated by the stakeholder relationships of the organisations under its auspices, and the outcomes of these relationships directly affect the outcomes of development planning. This thesis examines the development of the OTMC, and assesses the way it shaped the relationship between the main stakeholder organisations - Ok Tedi Mining Limited, PNG Sustainable Development Program Ltd., PNG national government, Ok Tedi Development Foundation, communities of the Community Mine Continuation Agreement regions, Fly River Provincial Government - has influenced the development of mine closure as a function of sustainability planning, the ongoing funding streams available for programs, and the development and implementation of programs aimed at encouraging sustainable livelihoods. This involves two case studies of livelihood promotion programs - Agriculture and Food Security, and Artisanal and Small Scale Mining. The dissertation is an original contribution to knowledge because there has been no systematic examination of the Ok Tedi Mining Complex as an institution, and there have been significant developments transforming the way that the stakeholder organisations relate to each other concerning mine closure and sustainability planning.

States in mineral-rich jurisdictions must promote mining as a development industry just as they must protect people and environment from the worst excesses of extractivism. State Governance of Mining, Development and Sustainability explores how the State’s role in facilitating a developmental and sustainable mining industry has been defined. In doing so, this astute book considers the impact of the policies and laws of mineral-rich States themselves, multilateral international governance institutions, industry associations, and environmental justice advocates in the areas of property relations, mineral taxation, environmental management and mine closure.

The current discourse on mine closure is informed predominantly by industry and corporate perspectives and predicated by experiences of mainly mining companies that are based in developed countries where necessary planning frameworks and regulatory requirements are well-established. Mine closure planning, well promoted and accepted as good business practice in the global minerals industry, has been primarily technical and precautionary both in approach and focus. Planning, modelling and monitoring strategies incorporate comprehensive and detailed elements such as properties inherent in landforms, climate, geology, flora and fauna, among others. However, locality-based concerns that revolve around resource access and tenure, rights and entitlements tied to locality and indigeneity, labour recruitment, and other non-bio-physical elements are hardly examined. Any mine closure program that omits these elements is deficient and therefore ineffective. Social Terrains of Mine Closure in the Philippines, based on ethnographic research and archival materials, presents the varying experiences of three mines to demonstrate that the mine closure process is an intense locus for competition and compromises among various social actors. This book offers key messages for understanding the complex socio-cultural, economic, political, and business realities that make up the social terrains of mine closure, and will be of great interest to students and researchers in development studies, community development, business studies, anthropology, and sociology. It will also appeal to those working in the global minerals sectors and NGOs that engage in development work and advocacy for responsible mining.

Mining is basically an intermediate use of land and it causes various impacts on all the components of environment. In most situations the impacts on land are severe and may cause the land to become useless for any economic use after mining. Since, the mining companies take land areas which have been in various uses before the onset of mining activities it should have been obligatory for the companies to develop the land areas for uses most suitable for the economic activities after mining. Though this was known right from the inception of the mining activities the efforts towards developing the land after mining were negligible. This has resulted in devastation of mined out land in many locations in the country. Keeping in view the importance and the necessity of development of land areas legislation have been formulated for mine closure. The legislation are recent not many mines have been closed in accordance with the provisions therein. A lot of work is still required to be done to make mine closure really effective. All over the world the importance of the mine closure is being realized due mainly to the following reasons. Closure planning at all the stages in a mine's life is important to the economics of a mine and such a planning results in a large cost savings. In this book the following aspects of mine closure planning and implementation in the opencast and underground mines, with special reference to the mining situations in the India, have been outlined. 1. Impacts of mining on environmental components and their roles in mine closure planning; 2. Legal, social and economic necessity of mine closure; 3. Land use planning as a tool for mine closure planning and implementation; 4. How to incorporate mine closure in mine planning; 5. Mine closure planning in underground and opencast mines; 6. Implications of mine fires in mine closure; 7. Mine closure planning for small mines; 8. Taking care of the abandoned mines, i.e., closure of abandoned mines; 9. Economics of mine closure; 10. Management of ecology during mine closure. The book is expected to be useful to the practical mining engineers and environmen- talists in mine planning and design. It should also be useful to the researchers and students of mining and environment.
