LIFE TECMINE's innovative use of the ‘GeoFluvTM’ method consists of modelling the landscape to mimic natural formations. These formations are stable, erosion resistant and able to support restoration efforts. To date, more than 13 hectares of land around the Fortuna mine in Ademuz, Valencia, have been restored. Another key novel action has been the selection and treatment of substrates to rebuild a fertile and functional soil, which together with land remodelling has enabled effective management of water and other natural resources, the introduction of new habitats, improving species biodiversity and providing a new and innovative model for mine restoration.
