Closure liabilities do not become real at closure. They become real when the ground is first disturbed, and a company that has not provisioned for them by then is relying on someone else to pay.
Our operating budgets carry a rehabilitation line from the first month, provisioned against an agreed closure plan. It is one of the reasons our quotes are occasionally higher than a competitor's, and we would rather explain that than discover it later.
The same logic governs safety. A stopped shift costs a shift. An incident costs an investigation, a suspension, and a licence that becomes difficult to renew.

Written as obligations rather than aspirations, so that failing one is visible.
Obligations are tracked in Najd Office alongside licence deadlines, so an overdue environmental filing is as visible as an overdue renewal.
Ground, water and community position recorded before disturbance, so change can later be attributed honestly.
Closure and water management designed into the mine plan and costed into the opening budget.
Briefings, inspections and monitoring logged. Provisions posted monthly, not annually.
Backfill, regrade and revegetate against the agreed plan, with the funding already in place.
| Item | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Safety statistics | Monthly to management; immediately for any reportable incident |
| Environmental monitoring | Quarterly against the baseline, per site |
| Rehabilitation provision | Monthly, shown in the management accounts as a funded liability |
| Community engagement log | Maintained continuously; summarised quarterly |
| Statutory filings | As required by each jurisdiction, tracked with a countdown |
If you are assessing us as a contractor or a partner, the safety record and the rehabilitation provisioning are reasonable things to ask for. Both are available on request.
