Uneconomic mines should generally be closed down to prevent financial losses, environmental degradation, and potential safety hazards. However, the decision to close a mine should consider various factors, including the potential for future economic viability, the impact on local communities, and the availability of resources for rehabilitation. In some cases, a temporary closure or transition to a different operational model may be more beneficial than outright closure. Ultimately, a comprehensive assessment is necessary to balance economic, social, and environmental priorities.
