Closure Planning

Closure Planning is a strategic decision-making process within the field of mine lifecycle management that integrates environmental, social, and economic considerations to define the end state and transition pathway of a mining site, distinguishing it from operational mine planning by its focus on post-mining landforms, ecosystem recovery, and long-term stewardship.
