Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / During the last five years, successful mine closure has become one of Iscor Coal
Business primary strategic focus areas. Three Iscor Coalmines are currently in different
stages of closure, i.e. North Field, Hlobane and Dumacol and the demand on
management time spent on this issue is increasing. The changing legal environment,
especially issues concerning rehabilitation and mine closure, demands that every
company must take full responsibility for any detrimental effect that their operations may
have on the environment.
This study concerns itself with establishing a generic procedure for mine closure. The
interface with all stakeholders, external and internal, is considered. The primary focus
areas are determined and the most important issues within each area are discussed in
such a way that operational managers and strategists could use it as base knowledge for
future closures.
Applying the model to an actual closure process, i.e. the closure of Durnacol Coalmine,
tested the validity of the model and it was verified that the process could be used as a
base for future reference.
