Our risk based approach utilises practical and relevant tools to ensure industry leading practice and trend setting for the management of operations through to closure and closed legacy mine sites focusing on positive environmental and community outcomes for all stakeholders.
Our lead consultant has managed the successful closure of two mining operations as Operations General Manager providing leadership and direction on all aspects of a closing mine and has successfully established a corporate closure and reclamation function in a regional office managing all closure planning and implementation activities for all operating, closed, and legacy sites within one of Australia’s largest gold mining organisations. His management of this key aspect of mining resulted in a Western Australian Golden Gecko award for the closure of the Mt McClure and Bronzewing operation.
