Dear GEP-ers, For a "cost-benefit" study of the Marlin gold mine in Guatemala, I am seeking information about the costs of mine closure both in the immediate aftermath and over the long term (mine legacy). I am looking especially for data and case studies related to gold mines but also more generally about the financial provisions mining companies are making, either voluntarily or by law, for monitoring, remediation, and compensation after mine closure in developed and developing countries. What are companies doing? How much financial liability are they taking on ? What is considered best practice? What costs have governments been stuck with? You get the gist.
Anybody out there working on this? Many thanks Lyuba
