Key benefits

Increasing general understanding of geological processes

In the mining industry, understanding the geological processes is essential for the development of good environmental practices.

Reducing environmental impacts and climate emissions

The development of good practices helps to reduce the environmental impacts and climate emissions caused by mining activities.

Promoting the utilisation of mining waste

Good practices increase material efficiency, enabling the utilisation of mining waste.

GTK offers a wide range of services for developing good environmental management practices for the mining industry. GTK plans related courses, produces and creates content, and prepares guidebooks.

The service covers the entire life cycle of mining operations, ranging from ore prospecting to the closure and after-use of mines, including an assessment of the environmental management and resource potential of old/closed mining sites.

The purpose of the service is to distribute information on good environmental practices in the mining industry to operators, industry consultants, researchers, authorities, and other interested parties. The goal is to improve the sustainability of the mining industry, introduce new practices, and ensure their implementation.

GTK has extensive expertise and experience in developing good environmental practices for the mining industry through its own research activities. Furthermore, GTK has considerable experience in drawing up guide materials for the field and organising related training. GTK has been developing good practices for the field for over 20 years. Therefore, GTK can offer a well-established, geological process-related perspective on training and guidelines, incorporating GTK’s broad vision and knowhow of the different stages of mining operations.
