摘要: Due to operational and regulatory practicalities, pit lakes will continue be common legacies of mine lease relinquishments. Unplanned or inappropriate management these geographical features can lead both short- long-term liability mining companies, local communities, the nearby environment during operations after relinquishment. However, potential for provide benefit is frequently unrecognised yet may a vital contribution sustainability open-cut industry. Sustainable lake aims minimise short long term liabilities maximise opportunities. Improved remediation technologies are offering more avenues resource exploitation than ever before, at same time authorities becoming aware resources offer.
