Mine Rehabilitation: The consequences of abandoned mines.

--:--
GUEST – Peter Major, a director a Mining at Modern Corporate Solutions

Abandoned mines in South Africa—a topic that has become increasingly urgent as the country grapples with the environmental and social consequences of decades of mining activity. South Africa's rich mining history has played a central role in shaping its economy, but the legacy of this industry has left behind thousands of abandoned mines, many of which are poorly managed or left entirely neglected. The environmental damage from these abandoned mines is far-reaching, including toxic water contamination, air pollution, and land degradation, all of which pose significant risks to local communities and ecosystems. What's more, the economic potential of rehabilitating these sites remains largely untapped.
