The exploitation and processing of mineral resources through mining activities inevitably results in varying degrees of environmental impacts. The primary goal of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to identify and evaluate the adverse impacts that a proposed mining project is likely to have on the environment prior to its execution so that …
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a prominent technology to assess the environmental changes in the open cast Limestone mining region. However, traditional EIA methods and Limestone deposit identification involves time consuming, cost effective and manpower requirements. We cope-up these problem and incorporated with …
The mining industry is a fundamental source for building infrastructures and an enabler for a country's growth. Over the last decade, the act of mining has been among the top in the list of human activities which has the most disturbing and catastrophic impacts on environment, therein extensively affecting the ecological, economic, and …
Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is an approach that can enhance the mining sector's contribution to sustainable development. It is a strategic-level approach that has …

Sand is an indispensable natural resource for any society. Despite society's increasing dependence on sand, there are major challenges that this industry needs to deal with: limited sand resources, illegal mining, and environmental impact of sand mining. The purpose of this paper is twofold: to present an overview of the sand market, highlighting …
The SDF's core principles include considering environmental and social concerns when making mining lease decisions, managing environmental, social, health, and safety impacts at the mine level, addressing resettlement and other social impacts as a result of mining project displacement, community engagement and benefit sharing, mine closure …
EIA full form is Environmental Impact Assessment. In simple terms, the meaning of EIA is that it is a process through which an environmental impact of a proposed development is evaluated. While undertaking Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the inter-related socio-economic, cultural, and human-health impacts are considered. This topic is …
Modifications to the Environmental Impact Assessment System Regulation are proposed by authors as feasible improvements particularly in relation to, Decentralization of the EIA system, Alternatives for design, Scoping incorporation, Register of reviewers of baseline information, and the public information process and post …
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a widely used environmental management tool that helps decision makers become fully aware of the potential impacts of any proposed development action, such as starting a mining project.
The planning value of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) as a tool for determining and appraising the environmental feasibility of proposed development projects is widely recognised [1] [2] [3].
Effective mine closure planning and environmental impact assessment (EIA) alike are essential practices well established in international practice that attempt to ensure that mining activities meet …
The Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF) published its Guidance for Governments: Improving Legal Frameworks for Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and Management in Mining in June 2020. IGF is now conducting case studies to support the implementation of this guidance, the …
This site provides information about Environmental Impact Assessments EIAs) in progress in Namibia.
A new evaluation model for geo-environmental impact assessment of mining (GEIAM) is proposed. The evaluation framework in this model considers three groups of criteria, namely, geo-hazards risks, environmental risks, and resource damages. Fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to establish a multiple-criteria …
The paper presents an environmental assessment for different mining methods. And, secondly, the impacts of each mining methods on environment are focused and …
For example, mining, processing and transportation require fuel and electricity, and the decomposition of carbonate minerals, employed to reduce environmental impacts, also releases carbon dioxide.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a superior tool use for assessing environmental changes in the opencast limestone mining region. In mining and its development, there is currently pervasive global concern focused on the need to move the mining sector to a more sustainable environment.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a key aspect of the planning and environmental management of commercial and industrial projects. The process is used …
Determines whether the environmental and social impacts of a proposed development project would be significant enough to develop an EIA.
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a necessity for any project with the possibility of having a significant adverse impact on the environment. It's even more essential for mining projects and other major developmental projects. You need to follow …
The importance of conducting suitable assessment studies beforehand, to learn the potential adverse impact of mining on the ecology and the environment has also been emphasised.
To accomplish this, governments and mining companies alike need to integrate environmental and social impact assessments (ESIAs) into mining projects.
Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION These Guidelines cover screening and categorization, scoping, and conduct on environmental impact assessment for new and existing mines.
An assessment of the impacts of quarrying using the rapid impact assessment matrix (RIAM) reveals marginal, short-term positive impacts in economic-operational components but major negative impacts on …

We estimated future environmental impacts of cobalt supply by 2050 under these two scenarios using prospective life cycle assessment. We found that the environmental impacts of cobalt production could likely increase and are strongly dependent on the recycling market share and the overall energy transition.
an environmental impact assessment as "the process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mitigating the biophysical, social, and other relevant effects of development proposals prior to major decisions being taken and commitments made. EIAs require decision-makers to account for environmental values in their decisions and to …
The present study offers a comprehensive overview of the environmental impacts of batteries from their production to use and recycling and the way forward to its importance in metal replenishment. The life cycle assessment (LCA) analysis is discussed to assess the bottlenecks in the entire cycle from cradle to grave and back to recycling …
