Mine Closure

SLR helps clients eliminate contamination on historical sites and prevent further damage from existing operations. Not only does this enhance asset values and reduce environmental liability, but provides expert solutions to protect and improve our clients’ assets.

Overview

Our mine closure experts provide a "life cycle" approach by offering strategic planning services for a closure, consultation with stakeholders, and developing and implementing a closure strategy in a cost beneficial way, reducing negative legacy risk and meeting the requirements of regulators.

SLR strives to unlock and restore the value of our clients assets by providing scheduling, resource allocation and closure liability or budget assessments to assist with financial planning or provisioning.
