Bindura Nickel Corporation (BNC) says it has committed US$34,43 million in the past three years towards mine closure plans and rehabilitation of mine areas being closed out.
In its annual report for the year ended March 31, 2023, the nickel miner said mineral reserves are limited and that some areas of the mine needed to be closed while mining continues in areas that are viable.
“We acknowledge that our operations are associated with environmental and social impacts, which we commit to continuously rehabilitate, as part of mine closure and rehabilitation plans,” the miner said.
In FY2023, BNC spent US$10,59 million as part of its mine closure plan, representing a 23,78 percent decline from US$13,9 million in 2022.
