Rehabilitation plan
Rehabilitation consists of filling the large pits created during the extraction of the ore with the rejects of the plant, then to put above the vegetal cover to facilitate the revegetation. It is important to point out that upstream work of this phase of rehabilitation is done with the nursery plant species existing on.
