MAREC= Mining Area Rehabilitation and Environmental Control

•Integrated environmental management services

•Intelligence based processing X design

•Targeted innovation solutions

•Commercial and technical knowledge of solutions and services to the mining industry for sustainable mining in general, with special emphasis in the field of wet mining.

Wouldn’t it be nice to work responsible and use Mother Earth sustainable as a living environment not losing more Biodiversity than absolutely needed

AND earn Money by your mining activities?

Yes, that is possible. But there are some challenges!

The impact of development of a mining area is very large:

•Negative social impact

•Positive social impact

•Environmental quality

Possible negative social impact

• Loss of habitat for mankind, animal and plant may cause conflicts with locals and protectionists

• Loss of face for government officials if conflicts occur • Loss of hunting grounds and agricultural / forestry production facilities (economical / conflicts) • Loss of social equilibrium due to

influx of new inhabitants (miners)

• Loss of (potential) touristic values

Possible positive social impact

• Opportunity to (re) develop communities

• More budget to build safe water supply, electric power, schools, health clinics, communal buildings

• Improved logistics are profitable for villagers too

• Road, air field, safe water, electricity, telephone, television, bus etc

Possible positive social impact

• Increased income due to jobs and improved

• logistics to develop agriculture, forestry, trade, small industry

Environmental impact • Landscape wounds

• Groundwater pollution

• Surface water poisoned

• Erosion (sediment transport)

• Air quality and noise

• Plant and animal life destruction

• Negative impact on tourism

Biodiversity Mitigation Ladder: •Prevent… •Reduce… •Repair… •Compensate… …Loss of Biodiversity as much as possible in the different stages of mining.

What can MAREC do for you? We can be of assistance to:

• Monitor your assets in an unique accuracy • Avoid down time caused by social issues • Handle and overcome social issues • Get your mining permits faster • Avoid environmental problems on short and long term • Obtain the best quality cores and mining equipment • Avoid scandals and unpleasant surprises • Score highest satisfaction and benefits for locals • Maintain touristic value • Get respect and knowledge regarding mining management • Make profit!

Why MAREC?

• MAREC works as a knowledge broker

• Established by 4 partners with unique knowledge and USP’s

• Has gathered a lot of partners with know-how and knowledge

• Has a one-stop shopping list for alluvial mining • Despite mine life status interesting menu for all mine companies

• Cost effective, because mean and lean organization

• MAREC approach is A) practical and B) scientific

First MAREC circle companies

• The activities of the MAREC core companies are done by experienced consultants with e.g. the most advanced spatial –monitoring, drilling, dredging, mine-processing experience and equipment

• Basically, activities are done based on internationally accepted ISO standards as default or Dutch

NEN standards if no ISO standards are applicable

• Awareness, knowledge, know-how, training courses available and in further development for whole mine life cycle!

Second MAREC circle companies

• Knowledge, know-how, experience etc which are not available in the first circle will be filled in case by case, depending on what the client wants

• Dutch Institutes and Companies are ready to make for that, but no problem to work together

with existing project partners • Combine practical and scientific research!

Together with her partners, MAREC offers you a one-stop shopping list: you can choose your menu! PART 1

•Social plan to get acceptation and faster permits of local governments and habitants

•Plan for environmental and habitat monitoring (null phase) •Environmental plan during the whole mining process incl. monitoring and data production, alerts and reports •Certified mining processes which take care for mother nature and inhabitants •Rehabilitation plan starting at the very beginning incl. e.g. water wells for inhabitants

•Setting up a “Double Crop” plan (besides the minerals harvesting crops)

•Programme for rapidly, high quality grid control, coring with Sonic technology

•Quality and value analysis by recommended mineralogical institutes

•Advise on excavating + mineral processing based on quality cores

•Knowledge about tailings (safety; erosion; leakage monitoring etc.)

•Agricultural research and knowledge for early rehabilitation

•Training and education for local population on all the aspects

Together with her partners, MAREC offers you a one-stop shopping list: you can choose your menu! PART 2
