Compliance involves ensuring that mining operations adhere to relevant environmental laws, regulations, and standards. This includes obtaining necessary permits, meeting regulatory requirements, and implementing best practices.

Progressive rehabilitation involves rehabilitating mined land as mining activities progress, rather than waiting until the end of the mine’s life. This approach helps to minimize the environmental impact of mining and promote sustainable land use.

Environmental training involves educating mining personnel on environmental management practices and procedures. This helps to ensure that mining operations are carried out in an environmentally responsible manner.

Environmental systems refer to the processes and procedures implemented by mining operations to manage environmental impacts. This includes environmental management systems (EMS), which provide a framework for managing environmental aspects.

Waste management involves managing mining waste in an environmentally responsible manner. This includes reducing waste generation, recycling materials, and disposing of waste in a safe and controlled manner.
