ESTUDIO DE CASO DEL IGF Transición a la postminería y cierre inclusivo en la mina Golden Pride, Tanzania

The document details the closure process of the Golden Pride Mine (GPM) in Tanzania, operated by Resolute Mining Limited from 1998 to 2013. It emphasizes a multifaceted approach to closure that integrated Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) to align land-use decisions with community needs, such as water security. Key technical achievements include progressive revegetation of miombo forests and the conversion of the open pit into a lake for irrigation and livestock. The study also addresses the challenges of illegal small-scale mining and provides policy recommendations for governments on early engagement, adaptable land-use planning, and the establishment of multidisciplinary closure committees.

• The Golden Pride Mine (GPM) utilized a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach over 15 years to identify community development needs and ensure projects had broad social acceptance, focusing on health, education, agriculture, and water supply.
• To address critical community needs for water during the dry season, the closure plan included the construction of small rural dams and the conversion of the open pit into a lake to serve as a year-round reservoir for irrigation and livestock.
• Progressive recovery was implemented starting in the second year of operations, allowing for the restoration of native miombo forests and the testing of technical methods for waste rock and tailings stability before final closure.
• The transition for the workforce was managed by starting consultations three years before closure, providing financial management assistance, job-seeking skills training, and severance payments exceeding Tanzanian legal requirements.
• As of mid-2022, the primary challenge to the site's stability and environmental recovery is the presence of illegal small-scale miners who disturb tailings facilities and waste rock dumps and may contaminate the pit lake with mercury.
