Mine Closure Financial Assurance Systems

Blockchain and escrow mechanisms guaranteeing rehabilitation funding.
Mine Closure Financial Assurance Systems

Mine closure financial assurance systems use smart contracts, escrow accounts, and distributed ledgers to ensure that operators set aside and cannot divert funds required for rehabilitation, water treatment, and long-term monitoring. They protect governments and communities from abandonment risk and create transparent, auditable records of bonding compliance.
