The rehabilitation liability estimate (RLE) is the maximum third party cost of rehabilitation at any time over the life of mine covered by the PEPR. The estimate must be based on reasonable third party costs of undertaking the rehabilitation strategies as outlined in the PEPR and include costs for project management, inflation, normal project variation and contingency provision for risk.
