mining policy  

Definición

  • Traditionally, mining policy dealt with ownership of extractive resources, including all minerals, metals, water, sand and gravel, and carbon-based fuels. However, by the end of the twentieth century in most countries, it had acquired a much broader scope, covering not only the ownership of the resources but also the surface needs of the mine or well developer, the safety of workers, the disposal of waste material, the consequences of water and air contamination plus their prevention, and taxation or royalties.
