Integration of environment in the mine life cycle
EF 2023-24
Résumé
Mine closure and reclamation should be designed from the beginning of mining projects
to reduce environmental impacts associated with mining operations. However, there is
often minimal interaction between disciplines involved in mine planning and
environmental management, and an optimal design is often not achieved.
The main objective of the research program is to integrate environmental
decisions during the mine life cycle for an optimized management of mine
waste. The research results will provide tools to integrate mine waste management
from exploration (theme 1), operations (theme 2), to post-closure (theme 3)
that will benefit the Canadian population and its mining industry.
