Clean-up

 

Clean-up is the process of reclaiming any economical gold accumulated around a production plant
of any remaining in-ground deposit around the operation when a mine comes to the end of its working life.

 

Clean-up (in non mining terms) can also mean the re-claiming of the land at the end of a mining process when the ore in the ground has been depleted.  Once the mine has closed, the land can then be reclaimed into a National Park, lakes etc, with the re planting of trees.
