Cel
The objective of the proposed project is to develop and validate a holistic approach to minimise the full life-cycle impacts of mining taking into account all the elements of the industrial mining and mineral processing system including waste disposal and remediation. Despite the attempts of a number of learned societies and some European initiatives towards the development of a comprehensive LCA methodology, there has not yet been the development of holistic life cycle assessment system for the extractive industries, accounting for all stages of the mining related activities, from exploration and development of a mineral deposit; to mining, processing of the ore, production of the concentrate; waste disposal, remediation; environmental monitoring, decommissioning and long term control and monitoring of the impacts of the mining related activities.
