No 1 source of global mining news and opinion
From what was once a white sand industrial wasteland, today, the tailings storage facility at Abosso Goldfields’ Damang mine in Ghana is a veritable garden of paradise – and from lignite to lakelands, about 1.7 billion cubic metres of earth were moved to create new landforms out of Germany’s 300-million-tonnes-per-year lignite mining industry – are only two of the book’s compelling tales.
Co-author Dr Peter Whitbread-Abruta is an IEMA Environmental Auditor in mining ESG and sustainability, mine closure and international development in developing and conflict-affected countries. Though co-sponsored by mining majors Rio Tinto, BHP, Anglo American and Newmont, Whitbread-Abruta emphasized the authors had editorial independence, as no-one involved wanted to be accused of greenwashing.
Whitbread-Abruta acknowleged the world has seen a succession of mining disasters over the years that have colored public’s perception of the mining industry. The rejuvenation was a combination of improved government regulation, science-based solutions, finding out what the mechanisms were and fixing them with the local university and then community action working together and then more progressive thinking by some mining companies that worked in partnership in the 2000s and later as a significant environmental renewal story that has lessons that reverberate around the world.
