MPF Part II Guidance Notes - For Ratification (1)

5.2 Financial assurance mechanisms 
5.2.1 Adopt legislation, 
regulations, and guidelines for 
financial assurance. 
• 
Government should put in place robust legal and regulatory frameworks, supported by 
guidance materials, for financial assurance to ensure: 

The responsibility to conduct and bear the cost for closure and rehabilitation 
remain with the mining entities, not the government. 

Funding is available to cover all closure costs in the event that the mine operator 
fails to fulfill its closure obligations. 
5.2.2 Enact regulations on the 
types of financial assurance that 
are appropriate for mine closure
including their specific details 
and conditions.
• 
Government regulations and guidance provide details on the forms of financial assurance 
(like bonds, insurance, and letter of credit) that are accepted, and the legal details and 
conditions for each form. Templates and examples, such as a letter of credit template, should 
be provided to mining entities to ensure financial assurance meets the requirements of 
government. 
• 
In choosing the forms of financial assurance, government should take into account the 
mechanism’s efficiency to be executed, the mining entity’s financial constraints, and 
government´s capacity to control and easily access the available funds, if needed.
5.2.3.a Require mining entities to 
provide an adequate level of 
financial assurance based on 
realistic estimates to cover the 
cost of all outstanding closure 
work programs at any time, by 
third-party contractors, including 
those that are premature and/or 
temporary, in the event that the 
mine operator fails to fulfill their 
closure obligations. 
• 
Governments should require mining entities to have a fully costed closure plan. Costing 
should: 

Take into account that work will be managed and completed by a third-party 
contractor. 

Include realistic and risk-adjusted estimates to cover all outstanding closure work.

transition

The costed closure plan should be regularly reviewed and as needed, supported by a third-
