Abstract
Some believe that Sustainable Mining due to impermanence of mining operation and adverse environmental impacts of mining, is an oxymoronTruly, no one can overlook these environmental impacts; however, a sustainable development is based on three elements Environmental, economical and social sustainability. In order to assess the relation between mining activities and sustainable development, not only environmental but also economical and social sustainability must be considered.Thanks to mine reclamation the adverse impact of mining on the environment can be reduced, meanwhile it will improve the social and economical condition after the mine-closureTo ensure that a mining operation is toward sustainable development goals, specific criteria and indicator frameworks have been established, in addition, for verification of our discussion the suitable selected reclamation plan for Bibishahrbanoo limestone mine of Tehran-Iran and its effect on sustainability of region has been studied.
