The current discourse on mine closure is informed predominantly by
industry and corporate perspectives and predicated by experiences
of mainly mining companies that are based in developed countries
where necessary planning frameworks and regulatory requirements are
well-established. Mine closure planning, well promoted and accepted
as good business practice in the global minerals industry, has been
primarily technical and precautionary both in approach and focus.
Planning, modelling and monitoring strategies incorporate
comprehensive and detailed elements such as properties inherent in
landforms, climate, geology, flora and fauna, among others.
However, locality-based concerns that revolve around resource
access and tenure, rights and entitlements tied to locality and
indigeneity, labour recruitment, and other non-bio-physical
elements are hardly examined. Any mine closure program that omits
these elements is deficient and therefore ineffective. Social
Terrains of Mine Closure in the Philippines, based on ethnographic
research and archival materials, presents the varying experiences
of three mines to demonstrate that the mine closure process is an
intense locus for competition and compromises among various social
actors. This book offers key messages for understanding the complex
socio-cultural, economic, political, and business realities that
make up the social terrains of mine closure, and will be of great
interest to students and researchers in development studies,
community development, business studies, anthropology, and
sociology. It will also appeal to those working in the global
minerals sectors and NGOs that engage in development work and
advocacy for responsible mining.
