Guideline for Mine Closure Relinquishment Criteria
Review of closure and relinquishment law in Australia, Canada and South Africa, with four mechanisms for reaching agreement compared. For closure planners and regulators.
Coaltech | May 2023
Relinquishment criteria follow from the agreed post-mining land use. The land use is the goal and the criteria measure whether it has been reached. The guideline sets out a framework for approving those criteria at each mining phase, from the initial environmental management plan through to decommissioning, and compares South African practice with Australian, Canadian and international guidance.

Description
The aim of this project is to provide guidance on the best mechanism for reaching
agreed relinquishment criteria for mine closure in South Africa. Per definition,
“Relinquishment (transition of ownership and responsibility for the land to a third party)” is
often discussed in the context of post-closure land use.

Electrical and electromagnetic ground surveys were run over a Waterberg profile with borehole logs and three dimensional seismic data as control, to test whether cheaper methods can match seismic reflection for locating coal and faults. Resistivity tomography at two electrode spacings, frequency and time domain electromagnetics, controlled source audio magnetotellurics and magnetics were all acquired. Results are preliminary.

Builds on an earlier productivity audit that identified fluctuating bonuses and incentives as an influence on output, safety and employee stress. The work examines how salaries, production bonuses and safety bonuses are graded and distributed across employee categories, how workers perceive that distribution, and whether incentives in practice motivate production and safe working. Stress and morale are treated as measures of wellbeing.
