Wouldn ldn’t t it be nice to work respon

ble and use Mother r Earth sustaina nable ble as a living ng enviro ronm nment nt not losing ng more Biodiv divers rsity ty than n absolute lutely needed AND earn Money by your r mining ng activiti ties?

Yes, that t is possible

• ble. But there

re are some challe llenges! The impact of development of a mining area is very large:

• Negative social impact
• Positive social impact
• Environmental quality

Possible ble negati tive social al impact

• Loss of habitat for mankind, animal and plant may cause conflicts with locals and protectionists
• Loss of face for government officials

if conflicts occur

• Loss of hunting grounds and

agricultural / forestry production facilities (economical / conflicts)

• Loss of social equilibrium due to

influx of new inhabitants (miners)

• Loss of (potential) touristic values

Possible

ble positi tive social al impact

• Opportunity to (re) develop communities
• More budget to build safe water supply, electric power, schools,

health clinics, communal buildings

• Improved logistics are profitable for villagers too
• Road, air field, safe water, electricity, telephone, television, bus

etc

Possible ble positi tive social al impact

• Increased income due to jobs and improved
• logistics to develop agriculture, forestry, trade, small industry

Enviro ronme nment ntal al impact t

• Landscape wounds
• Groundwater pollution
• Surface water poisoned
• Erosion (sediment transport)
• Air quality and noise
• Plant and animal life destruction
• Negative impact on tourism

Biodiv divers rsity y Mitigatio igation Ladder: der:

• Prevent…
• Reduce…
• Repair…
• Compensate…

…Loss of Biodiversity as much as possible in the different stages of mining.

Why MAREC EC?

• MAREC works as a knowledge broker
• Established by 4 partners with unique knowledge and USP’s
• Has gathered a lot of partners with know-how and knowledge
• Has a one-stop shopping list for alluvial mining
• Despite mine life status interesting menu for all mine companies
• Cost effective, because mean and lean organization
• MAREC approach is A) practical and B) scientific

First t MARE REC circle le compa panie nies

• The activities of the MAREC core companies are done by experienced consultants with e.g. the most

advanced spatial –monitoring, drilling, dredging, mine-processing experience and equipment

• Basically, activities are done based on internationally accepted ISO standards as default or Dutch

NEN standards if no ISO standards are applicable

• Awareness, knowledge, know-how, training courses available and in further development for whole

mine life cycle!

Secon

• nd MARE

REC circle le compa panie nies

• Knowledge, know-how, experience etc which are not available in the first circle will be filled in

case by case, depending on what the client wants

• Dutch Institutes and Companies are ready to make for that, but no problem to work together

with existing project partners

• Combine practical and scientific research!

Togeth ther r with her partne ners rs, MARE REC offers you a one-stop top shopp pping ng list: you can choo

• ose your

r menu! u! PART 1

• Social plan to get acceptation and faster permits of local governments and habitants
• Plan for environmental and habitat monitoring (null phase)
• Environmental plan during the whole mining process incl. monitoring and data production, alerts and

reports

• Certified mining processes which take care for mother nature and inhabitants
• Rehabilitation plan starting at the very beginning incl. e.g. water wells for inhabitants
• Setting up a “Double Crop” plan (besides the minerals harvesting crops)

• Programme for rapidly, high quality grid control, coring with Sonic technology
• Quality and value analysis by recommended mineralogical institutes
• Advise on excavating + mineral processing based on quality cores
• Knowledge about tailings (safety; erosion; leakage monitoring etc.)
• Agricultural research and knowledge for early rehabilitation
• Training and education for local population on all the aspects
