Rehabilitation
We aim to conduct progressive rehabilitation, wherever possible, to reduce the impacts on the environment and minimise the residual impact of the site. Generally this is recorded at the time of closure.
Regent undertakes a base line studies to better understand the rehabilitation process and identify key indicators for reclamation success.
Following disturbance, we aim with our partners to rehabilitate the land to a form and state agreed by stakeholders, including the local community and government. This focuses on the early development of final landforms with direct return of topsoils where possible to minimise costs and maximise the restoration process.
There are a range of different challenges in respect to the development of post-mine landscapes that are stable, resistant to erosion, encapsulate any hostile mine wastes and provide a suitable substrate or water body targeted for specific end land use requirements. These range from the development of sustainable biodiverse ecosystems endemic to the local area, through to suitable agricultural, agro-forestry or aquaculture production systems.
