1. Mining
   • illegal mining activity outside the lease area
   • Prohibited mining
   • Mining area extent monitoring with reference to timeline
   • Mining dumps and overburden material
   • Ore transportation routes
2. Environmental impacts due to mining
   • Deforestation
   • landscape degradation
   • alteration of stream and river morphology
   • siltation of water bodies
   • biodiversity loss
   • Impact on agriculture lands
3. Reclamation : Process of returning mining areas to their previous state or better
   • Backfilling the mined area with overburden
   • Re-establishing the original landscape
