Mining ConsultancyReview the lease
Confirm current land-use, production stage, and existing closure commitments.
A mine closure plan is a statutory requirement from the day a lease is granted, not a document you write when operations wind down — and an outdated one can hold up a lease renewal on its own.
Closure plans are frequently the reason a lease renewal stalls — not because closure work is disputed, but because the existing plan is years out of date relative to actual operations. GSJ treats closure planning as a living document, not a one-time filing.
