Proposed developments of all types are subject to a wide range of environmental regulations. There is now increased awareness of the effects of mining and exploration on the environment and the public demands that all new developments achieve a high standard of environmental protection as well as providing local benefits.
Assessment of environmental and socio-economic impacts requires strong scientific and technical skills, credibility based on experience, and a thorough understanding of local, regional and international regulatory requirements. Environmental project briefs, environmental impact assessments and site audits are carried out in conjunction with the Mines Safety Departments and the Environmental Councils and local authorities in the countries in which AMC Environmental Services consults.

Our experts characterise site conditions, identify project effects, define waste management options, design environmental remediation measures and determine local benefits, to ensure safe, economic mine design and operation, which will lead to successful and cost effective closure in the future.
