heal.abstract	During the last decades legislative actions on environmental issues have dramatically increased all over the world. The impacts of environmental legislation on the mining sector are quite significant. Although an extensive list of legislation exists, this paper focuses on an issue that currently has a significant influence on the mining industry: natural resource damage assessment and, in particular, the valuation of non-market goods. Therefore, the basic elements of the most important valuation methods are outlined and a demonstrative example is presented, in the context of appraising a reclamation scheme of an abandoned quarry site. The analysis is fairly general, and it does not intend to comprise either a complete introduction to environmental economics or a comprehensive presentation of valuation techniques. Still, it provides an idea of how these methods can be applied to mining issues. Further, the findings may prove useful to practitioners and mining managers, providing information about the monetary benefits of mined land reclamation that could contribute to sound decision- and policy-making.	en
