Brazilian mining giant CVRD (NYSE: RIO) is publishing a manual detailing the costs of mine closures, Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper reported. Closing a mine is one of the most expensive parts of the mining process due to the large sums invested in environmental recovery programs. In 2002 CVRD spent 68mn reais (US$23mn) to recover areas of closed mines. Rio de Janeiro-based CVRD is the world's largest producer and exporter of iron ore.
