Abstract

The provisions aimed at the management and protection of the environment contained in the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act are discussed in this article. A combination of “command-and-control” and “management planning” regulatory techniques are employed in the Act, creating relatively stringent environmental management and protection obligations throughout the life-cycle of reconnaissance, prospecting and mining operations.
