The laws and regulations surrounding mining and mineral exploration have become increasingly complex as governments demand greater returns and increased oversight of natural resources. Mining industry leaders need to stay vigilant to ensure compliance with policies and procedures pertaining to mining waste storage, health and safety, land preservation, air and water quality and hazardous materials.
