Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) 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 digital solutions.

Mine closure is crucial for sustainable and societally accepted mining projects. It is a difficult management task with a lot of uncertainties to be reduced, expenses and liabilities to be controlled, and risks to be minimized. The webinar is part of the EIT Raw Materials funded Closurematic project. Join us to find out more and discuss the latest developments in the industry.
