The current opportunities need to be examined with real evidence and effective Research CRC Time and Partnerships associated with its work need to be at the forefront of any future planning and policy drivers.

Social mine closure planning is a process that involves addressing the social and economic impacts on surrounding communities and stakeholders in preparation for when the mine closes. This planning is integrated during the Life of Mine. Ideally, a mine should have a mine closure strategy which is updated during the mine operation focusing on sustainable socio-economic development on ensuring that communities are not adversely affected once mining operations cease. Digby Wells Environmental we understand that successful mine closure goes beyond environmental remediation. It requires a comprehensive approach that integrates social, economic, and cultural considerations. With decades of experience, we are at the forefront of Social Mine Closure Planning, ensuring that mining operations leave a positive legacy for surrounding communities. Our multidisciplinary team brings together experts in social science, economics, environmental management, and community engagement. Partner with Digby Wells Environment to ensure that your mine closure is not just an end, but a new beginning for the communities and ecosystems that have supported your operations. Let us help you leave a lasting, positive legacy. #mining #socialImpacts #closure #EIA #StakeholderEngagement

🌄💰 Sustaining Success: West Virginia Surface Mines in Focus 💰🌄 In a testament to West Virginia's mining prowess, surface mines across the state delivered an impressive 15.4 million tons of coal in the past year. Spread across 35 mines, this achievement underscores the state's pivotal role in fueling the nation's energy needs. Behind this remarkable production are the 2,980 dedicated surface miners, whose hard work and expertise not only drive the industry forward but also sustain livelihoods. Their efforts account for a substantial $247 million in annual wages, underscoring the economic significance of the mining sector in West Virginia. Moreover, the contributions extend beyond wages, with approximately $40 million in state severance tax collections bolstering vital public services and infrastructure projects statewide. But West Virginia's commitment to responsible mining goes beyond extraction. It extends to the ongoing reclamation efforts that ensure the sustainable utilization of land post-mining. In 2023 alone, final reclamation activities concluded on approximately 7,000 acres of previously mined areas, highlighting the state's dedication to environmental stewardship and community well-being. As we reflect on these achievements, let's recognize the resilience and dedication of West Virginia's mining community. Their unwavering commitment not only powers our present but also paves the way for a sustainable and prosperous future. 🚜🌱 #MiningMilestones #WestVirginiaPride #SustainableMining #CrouseForHouse

Predictive Maintenance and Diamond Grid✅ Early detection of maintenance issues minimises unscheduled downtime in mining operations. A permeable pavement system like Diamond Grid can help improve monitoring of the underlying soil and drainage systems, reducing the need for unscheduled downtime. Diamond Grid is a versatile solution with high load-bearing capacity and 96% permeability. It is ideal for haul roads, storage areas, car parks, hardstands, foundation reinforcement, and heavy equipment pathways. Adopting a predictive maintenance strategy and implementing permeable pavement solutions like Diamond Grid can reduce maintenance costs, minimize downtime, and increase mining companies' profitability.

In celebration of #NationalMiningWeek, we’re proud to contribute to Canada’s rich mining heritage with responsible development of Canada’s natural resources. We recently celebrated five years of commercial production at our Lamaque mine in Quebec, which is our lowest GHG-emitting operational mine. Thanks to the great work of Eldorado Gold Québec, we are making positive contributions to the area, through environmental stewardship, proactive community engagement and local hiring with over 80% of our workforce from the local Val-d’Or region. To advance our sustainability performance, we’ve added two electric ore hauling trucks to our operations over the last year. With a maximum hauling capacity of 50 tonnes, the trucks will improve production efficiency, protect health and safety – all while mitigating our greenhouse gas emissions. Beyond our operations, we want to create a positive impact for communities near our mines. In Quebec, we work closely with Indigenous communities on workforce training, skills development and other community priorities. Since 2019, we’ve contributed over $2.5 million through our community investment program in Quebec. Our contributions were made in partnership with community members through our Monitoring Committee, who worked together to prioritize and identify key opportunities for the community.

Sand management in the Permian Basin can be a real headache. With the scale of operations and the challenging conditions, managing sand effectively is crucial to avoid costly downtime and equipment damage. Some common sand management issues in the region include: 1️⃣ Excessive Sand Production: When uncontrolled, high sand volumes can lead to production equipment wear and tear. It’s like trying to keep your car running smoothly while driving through a sandstorm! 2️⃣ Cost of Sand Management: Inefficient technology can require you to have more equipment on location than needed, which leads to high excessively high flowback costs. 3️⃣ Operational Disruptions: If your sand management equipment can't keep up. sand can cause unexpected shutdowns and slowdowns, disrupting your production schedule and impacting your AFE. But don't worry—EnerCorp has got you covered. Here’s how we tackle these challenges head-on: 1️⃣ Advanced Sand Management Systems: Our Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone and eFlowback ecosystem are designed to handle high volumes of sand, protecting your equipment and keeping operations running smoothly. 2️⃣ Real-Time Monitoring: We provide real-time data and alerts, so you’re always in control and can address issues before they escalate. 3️⃣ Cost Efficiency: Our solutions are not only effective but also cost-efficient, helping you save on long-term operational costs. We’ve seen incredible results in the Permian Basin. For example, one of our clients managed to reduce their sand handling costs by 30% and increased operational uptime by 25% after implementing our systems. It’s stories like these that drive us to keep innovating. Thinking about how you can improve your flowback operations in the Permian? Let’s chat!

Financial surety instrument for closure - Listen to the video posted by Mining Doc. #mining #mineclosure #financialsurety The IRMA standard (IRMA Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance ) includes in its requirements 2.6.4.1 similar provisions for mine reclamation, closure and post-closure, which is considered "critical". This instrument shall be: a) Independently guaranteed, reliable, and readily liquid; b) Reviewed by third-party analysts, using accepted accounting methods, at least every five years or when there is a significant change to the mine plan; c) In place before ground disturbance begins; and d) Sufficient to cover the reclamation and closure expenses for the period until the next financial surety review is completed. However to fully comply with this critical requirement remains a challenge for the mining companies! Check the audit reports issued by IRMA on its webpage - check the comments!
