Quality
restoration and aftercare of mineral extraction sites is an essential
element of the process of extraction. Depending on the nature, location
and geology of the area, mineral extraction offers the opportunity to
either return sites to their former use or to create new biodiversity
uses. The industry has a long and widely recognised track record for the
effective restoration of mineral extraction sites which in many cases
has provided improved more diverse after-uses which can provide a valuable
resource for both local communities and biodiversity.
