Large-scale miner Marcventures Mining and Development Corp. (MMDC) has issued a statement on mine rehabilitation of its mined out operations, citing post-mining strategies like “re-vegetation” and regeneration of the natural ecosystem.

“Marcventures goes an extra mile by employing high-tech solutions to ensure viability and sustainability of its environmental protection and enhance programs,” MMDC said.

The company has been maintaining its use of environmental-friendly technology “aimed at restoring disturbed areas to create a structurally stable landform capable of future productive use.”

Mine rehabilitation, according to MMDC, is an important factor in environmental sustainability, involves returning the land to its natural state post operation through well-researched methods of revegetation and regeneration of natural ecosystem.

It also includes a comprehensive process of classifying the overburden materials, land recontouring and reforestation or revegetation.

Meanwhile, MMDC’s reforestation program is aimed at three objectives including ecological rehabilitation of mined-out area, create livelihood projects for the community, and develop the area to a productive use.

“The reforestation program will largely use a wide species base of indigenous trees including those that are regarded as critically endangered and vulnerable species,” it said.

One of the company’s mine areas is in Carrascal, Surigao del Sur, is actively pursuing an environmental restoration program, while its Pili mine recently underwent slope stabilization, benching, and an ongoing installation of coconut net (or “coconet”).

Earlier, Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu advised mining firms to follow through with its responsible mining slogans and actually “practice and show what responsible mining is all about,” in which he mentioned major mining operations often result in massive environmental destruction.

MMDC actively supports the Mining Forest Program (MFP) of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau and National Greening Program of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
