Considerations
Closure is foreverAre there alternatives to philanthropic approaches towards a social licence to operate? Do we now need social licences to close?How can traditional economic bases be strengthened and less dependent on the boom and bust cycles?Can a host community become environmentally responsible?Will the post mining land use be controllable?
