Socia-Economic Mine Closure (SEMC) Guideline: An Evaluation of theLocal Economic Development (LED) Initiatives Implemented by Mining Companies toAddress the Adverse Results of Mine Closure.

This MIT ACS-Accelerate proposal is the first involving a multiple stage project to be developed as part

of my PhD investigation. Through the completion of the full research project, the initiatives

implemented by mining companies to address the socio-economic impact imposed on local

communities when a mine ceases operation will be analyzed. Additionally, a socio-economic mine

closure guideline will be developed to assist both mining communities and mining companies in the

anticipation and mitigation of the impacts that mine closure has on communities. Although the

methodology for the full research includes surveys and interviews with community members, company

representatives and other key stakeholders, this present proposal will not involve the phase of

engagement with these subjects.
