IQ has released a landmark publication that promises to reshape how the mineral extraction industry approaches soil resource management. Soil Resource Considerations Part 1: Identification, authored by Dr R Neil Humphries FIQ, is now available exclusively to IQ members and marks the beginning of a comprehensive three-part series focused on the sustainable recovery and reuse of soils.
This guide is the first in a trilogy that will cover the full lifecycle of soil resource management, identification, handling, and restoration. It complements IQ’s existing online guidance by focusing on the critical process of identifying soil resources both before and after development. These steps are essential for successful site restoration and long-term sustainability.
