MPF Part II Guidance Notes - For Ratification (1)
Objectives
• To ensure that comprehensive mine-closure plans, including a cost estimate, are developed and approved prior to mining, updated regularly during mine operation, and implemented through the mine life into the post-mining transition and relinquishment. • To ensure government has the capacity and resources needed to manage mine closure internally and with independent experts. • To require full financial assurance for mine closure across the entire mine life cycle that is readily available to government, if needed. • To involve affected communities in the development and implementation of mine closure. • To support workers and communities during the post-mining transition. • To require productive and environmentally sound post-mining land uses. • To develop an inventory and risk assessment of abandoned mines and remediation plans that address hazards, preserve values, and seek opportunities for continued use of the site. In keeping with the commitment of the IGF members to ensure that mining activities within their jurisdiction are compatible with the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs), implementation of Pillar V’s recommendations advance the following SDGs: • SDG 1 (End Poverty) by ensuring closure plans support the economic and social stability of communities during post-mining transition, and where possible, provide economic and social opportunities through the chosen post-mining land uses. • SDG 5 (Gender Equality) by promoting strategies for gender equality in post-mining transition land uses and community engagement. • SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) by ensuring that the closure of mine facilities is well- designed and executed. • SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by ensuring post-mining land use is integrated into local or regional development plans. • SDG 12 (Responsible Production and Consumption) by promoting well-designed post-mining land uses. • SDG 13 (Climate Action) by ensuring closure plans provide for productive and environmentally sound and climate-resilient post-mining land uses. o SDG 15 (Life on Land) by restoring areas as soon as the disturbed area is no longer required. |
