From Plans on Paper to Proof in Practice
The ICMM framework is clear: closure success depends on integration, transparency, and continuous validation. A well-written plan is meaningless unless it is:
- Stress-tested for constructability.
- Aligned with realistic costs and schedules.
- Embedded within operational processes from day one.
Progressive rehabilitation, once optional, is now a compliance expectation. It reduces final closure liabilities, builds institutional learning, and enables early demonstration of performance against closure KPIs.
Transparency has become non-negotiable. Stakeholders expect live, auditable data showing environmental, social, and economic commitments are being delivered exactly as promised, not after the fact, but as work progresses.
The Execution Gap
Many operations in logistically isolated mining regions face unique resource challenges when advancing progressive rehabilitation. These often include:
- Coordinating limited equipment between production and rehabilitation tasks.
- Sourcing materials and specialist services within remote supply chains.
- Aligning rehabilitation schedules with operational demands in isolated locations.
- Maintaining real-time visibility of progress and compliance in dispersed work areas.
It’s in this execution gap — between what is approved and what is delivered — that TacminMadini proves its value.
