Overview

As mining companies face increasing pressure from both regulatory bodies and stakeholders, effective mine closure strategies have become more critical than ever. A leading global mining company faced challenges in navigating complex regulatory environments and managing public discourse around legacy sites.

Mine closure activities focus on the responsible decommissioning of assets, ensuring positive outcomes for communities, employees, and investors, while also maintaining ESG compliance. This requires collaboration across various divisions, including regulatory affairs and closure advisory, spanning regions such as EMEA, APAC, and AMR.

With rising regulatory expectations and heightened scrutiny from both communities and investors, the team sought an advanced intelligence platform to proactively monitor emerging regulatory trends, stakeholder discourse, and legislative risks impacting their mine closure operations. The end goal was to mitigate closure costs. 

The Challenge


The team lacked a reliable system to collect and analyse real-time information on regulatory shifts, emerging legislative trends, and stakeholder conversations. This gap in intelligence often led to delays in adjusting strategies, resulting in increased regulatory costs and potential reputational risks.

The Solution 


The team adopted TSC’s platform to enable proactive monitoring of both issues and stakeholders. By utilising advanced horizon scanning, the platform automates the tracking of important issues, key legislative changes and public sentiment, ensuring the team can identify potential risks before they escalate.

The integration of media monitoring with stakeholder intelligence has enhanced their ability to detect shifts in public and governmental stances and understand who is driving the changes, making strategic planning more agile.

Use Case 1: Issues Monitoring & Legislative Tracking

Challenge: Intelligence Gap

Proactively monitoring legislation is not straightforward for the team, as the policies can arise from multiple issues. The manual monitoring of policy changes rendered them being blindsided by sudden implementations of regulations, which can be extremely costly for the organisation.

Solution: Horizon Scanning

The TSC solution provides targeted tracking of issues that are critical to the organisation, including specific environmental issues (such as mining waste, biodiversity offsets and acid mine drainage, etc), indigenous issues, and regulatory changes. For example, the system provides targeted tracking of European Raw Material Act, which captures updates in both English and French.

In addition, the captured media identifies and links the relevant stakeholders and their involvement in and relevance to different issues. This helps the team understand the different influencers who might be leading the changes in policies, and hence prepare the team for proactive engagements. 

Additionally, spike detection on key regulatory bodies like the EPA also offers real-time insights on changing policy directions. This helps the company anticipate regulatory shifts before they occur. 

Use Case 2: Legacy Sites Monitoring & Stakeholders Mapping


Challenge: Dispersed Sources 

Legacy sites are decades-old mining sites that have been converted into other structures such as parking lots, national parks, or green spaces, and they can sometimes generate unexpected concerns. The team wants to monitor unusual spikes in mentions of more than 4,500 sites for potential issues.

However, given that the sites are in remote regions in various parts of the world, there are language barriers for effective monitoring. Traditional monitoring using keyword tracking for the sites also resulted in a lot of noise.  

Solution: Advanced & Precise Monitoring 

To overcome these challenges, the team used TSC’s system to convert these legacy sites into ‘datapoints’ that they could systematically track all external signals on, on a national, state and local level. Through this approach, the team could monitor relevant (community) discussions more effectively, enabling them to identify emerging concerns early.

For example, the team was able to detect a small signal in a remote village in France regarding tap water contamination. Given the proximity of the company’s former assets to the contamination source, this issue became a high-priority follow-up for the team.

Use Case 3: Newsletter & Report Automation 

Challenge: Generic alerts that contain little insight

The team traditionally relied on Google News alerts as well as other multiple media alerts to capture media that could lead to regulation changes. However, the information collected is not targeted towards the related issues that the team wants to focus on, hence offering little insight into evolving legislative risks and stakeholder movements. 

Solution: Monthly Regulatory Review

The TSC’s platform introduced a regulatory newsletter, shifting from generalised media alerts to targeted and curated issues & stakeholder intelligence reports. The report will highlight important conversations and media coverage, which have the potential to become policies, show movements and updates in the regulations of interest.

The media intelligence is coupled with stakeholders intelligence to show the driving forces behind these tractions. Now, the team can really focus on key matters and easily provide insights to decision makers. 

Conclusion

By leveraging TSC’s stakeholder and issues intelligence platform, the organisation is able to transform its approach to monitoring regulations and mining closures. This shift has not only improved compliance and risk management but also enabled the team to stay ahead of regulatory changes, ensuring smoother, more cost-effective mine closure operations.

How A Major Mining Company Uses TSC.ai to Navigate Regulatory Risks in Mining Closure

Overview

As mining companies face increasing pressure from both regulatory bodies and stakeholders, effective mine closure strategies have become more critical than ever. A leading global mining company faced challenges in navigating complex regulatory environments and managing public discourse around legacy sites.

Mine closure activities focus on the responsible decommissioning of assets, ensuring positive outcomes for communities, employees, and investors, while also maintaining ESG compliance. This requires collaboration across various divisions, including regulatory affairs and closure advisory, spanning regions such as EMEA, APAC, and AMR.

With rising regulatory expectations and heightened scrutiny from both communities and investors, the team sought an advanced intelligence platform to proactively monitor emerging regulatory trends, stakeholder discourse, and legislative risks impacting their mine closure operations. The end goal was to mitigate closure costs. 

The Challenge


The team lacked a reliable system to collect and analyse real-time information on regulatory shifts, emerging legislative trends, and stakeholder conversations. This gap in intelligence often led to delays in adjusting strategies, resulting in increased regulatory costs and potential reputational risks.

The Solution 


The team adopted TSC’s platform to enable proactive monitoring of both issues and stakeholders. By utilising advanced horizon scanning, the platform automates the tracking of important issues, key legislative changes and public sentiment, ensuring the team can identify potential risks before they escalate.

The integration of media monitoring with stakeholder intelligence has enhanced their ability to detect shifts in public and governmental stances and understand who is driving the changes, making strategic planning more agile.

Use Case 1: Issues Monitoring & Legislative Tracking

Challenge: Intelligence Gap

Proactively monitoring legislation is not straightforward for the team, as the policies can arise from multiple issues. The manual monitoring of policy changes rendered them being blindsided by sudden implementations of regulations, which can be extremely costly for the organisation.

Solution: Horizon Scanning

The TSC solution provides targeted tracking of issues that are critical to the organisation, including specific environmental issues (such as mining waste, biodiversity offsets and acid mine drainage, etc), indigenous issues, and regulatory changes. For example, the system provides targeted tracking of European Raw Material Act, which captures updates in both English and French.

In addition, the captured media identifies and links the relevant stakeholders and their involvement in and relevance to different issues. This helps the team understand the different influencers who might be leading the changes in policies, and hence prepare the team for proactive engagements. 

Additionally, spike detection on key regulatory bodies like the EPA also offers real-time insights on changing policy directions. This helps the company anticipate regulatory shifts before they occur. 

Use Case 2: Legacy Sites Monitoring & Stakeholders Mapping


Challenge: Dispersed Sources 

Legacy sites are decades-old mining sites that have been converted into other structures such as parking lots, national parks, or green spaces, and they can sometimes generate unexpected concerns. The team wants to monitor unusual spikes in mentions of more than 4,500 sites for potential issues.

However, given that the sites are in remote regions in various parts of the world, there are language barriers for effective monitoring. Traditional monitoring using keyword tracking for the sites also resulted in a lot of noise.  

Solution: Advanced & Precise Monitoring 

To overcome these challenges, the team used TSC’s system to convert these legacy sites into ‘datapoints’ that they could systematically track all external signals on, on a national, state and local level. Through this approach, the team could monitor relevant (community) discussions more effectively, enabling them to identify emerging concerns early.

For example, the team was able to detect a small signal in a remote village in France regarding tap water contamination. Given the proximity of the company’s former assets to the contamination source, this issue became a high-priority follow-up for the team.

Use Case 3: Newsletter & Report Automation 

Challenge: Generic alerts that contain little insight

The team traditionally relied on Google News alerts as well as other multiple media alerts to capture media that could lead to regulation changes. However, the information collected is not targeted towards the related issues that the team wants to focus on, hence offering little insight into evolving legislative risks and stakeholder movements.

The TSC’s platform introduced a regulatory newsletter, shifting from generalised media alerts to targeted and curated issues & stakeholder intelligence reports. The report will highlight important conversations and media coverage, which have the potential to become policies, show movements and updates in the regulations of interest.
