It's vital to hire consultants who are enviro experts, understand mining - SRK

摘要

FOLLOWING the National Environmental Management Act (Nema) amendment in December last year, mining consultancy firm SRK Consulting says it is vital for mining companies in South Africa to deploy consultants who are environmental experts and also have sound technical understanding of mining. By so doing, companies will ensure that they are able to deliver optimal value when mine audits are done and are aligned with policies and Acts.SRK Consulting senior environmental management consultant Matthew Law notes that Nema being part of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) requires that a consultant's independent audit of a mine's Environmental Management Programme Report (EMPR) should include specific recommendations to address areas of noncompliance.
