Measure and monitor ecological recovery against closure criteria, with evidence a regulator accepts to release posted capital.
Mine-closure and rehabilitation bonds are released only when ecological recovery meets defined closure criteria. The operator carries the cost of capital on the posted bond until that recovery is evidenced to the regulator's satisfaction.
Data collection establishes the post-disturbance starting point.
The Ecosystem Condition Index scores recovery against the closure criteria.
Recurring surveys show recovery is real and sustained.
An audit-grade record in Mission Control supports the release of posted capital.
The obligation differs by market. We will map it to your site.
