Integrating the Life of Mine (LoM) concept with GISTM requirements represents a holistic approach to sustainable tailings management in mining operations.
The LoM Concept
Life of Mine covers the entire lifecycle of a mining operation, from exploration to closure and post-closure, including planning, operation, decommissioning, and rehabilitation.
Integration with GISTM
GISTM requires that tailings management consider the entire facility lifecycle, aligning perfectly with the LoM concept.
Benefits of the Integrated Approach
- More effective long-term planning
- Better resource allocation across the lifecycle
- Reduced operational and environmental risks
- Continuous compliance with international standards
