Small-scale mines operating under a Minahang Bayan contract with the government will soon face stricter conditions on the disposal of their residual stockpiles.
A statement showed that in a bid to improve regulation of small-scale mining operations in the country, Mines and Geosciences Burea has released an order requiring the monitoring of undisposed residual stockpiles outside mining sites.
A Minahang Bayan is a government-regulated cooperative of small-scale miners organized in a certain area or region. The disposal will also be implemented under a required Environmental Management Plan which miners must submit to report their environmental management objectives and their commitment to protect and rehabilitate the disturbed environment during disposition of residual stockpiles.
