The height of the costs for safe and sustainable closure of mining facilities are determined with the planning of mining project. Naturally also the opening and mining methods, the surface facilities and mine site infrastructure, the management of stream of mined material, the placement and operation of mills and tailings storage facilities and the age of mine site do determine the costs of mine closure significant. The closure plan of mining legacies have to be an integral part of project planning, its costs included.
The closure costs are part of the result of mining companies. Its efficiency are determined with the closure costs. The planned costs for mine closure have to be part of price of product. For example with a price of uranium at 10 US$/lb the costs for closure are not gained. The quantity and the quality of closure works are dependent from the prices of the products finaly.
The mine closure costs for abandoned mining generally was not considered adequate. Thus on the long-term basis substantial public funds are bound. This could lead on a long-term basis to development of commercial jobs.
