4 Mine Expansion Many mines undergo one or more expansions during their operating life as economic conditions change because of factors such as changes in metal prices, development of new technologies, and discovery of new ore reserves. The challenge is to keep the existing mine operating efficiently while the permitting process to expand mining moves forward. Ultimately, the ease in permitting expansions can depend on the ownership of land, past compliance record, attitudes of the general public, and the policies of regulating agencies.

Permitting and mining can proceed to the second stage of the mine life cycle, mine development, once an economic mineral deposit is discovered, its limits defined, and the prefeasibility/feasibility studies indicate that an economic deposit exists. Mine development is the transition stage between exploration and mine operation. Hence, many issues considered during exploration also need to be addressed, sampled, and monitored during this stage of mining. Permitting, which generally takes place during the mine development stage, can require significant environmental data to accommodate the permitting process.
