Geological Survey of Finland and partners present an online webinar and discussion on how to tackle issues of mine closure in a sustainable way by adopting continuous mine closure and a dedicated digital tool. Digital mine closure management also provides a means to document and verify sustainability of the operation to the authorities and stakeholders.
The webinar is the closing seminar of the EIT Raw Materials funded Closurematic project, and a launching event of the digital product. Join us to find out more and discuss latest developments in the industry.
