Answer: No, the mining process isn't faster when you know in advance that the land must be restored.

Explanation:

The mining process would be slower when mining companies know in advance that the land must be restored because they have to be more careful about their impact on the environment & avoid taking unnecessary damage to ruin the land which they know they must restore.

So, it's evident how this would slow down the mining process. If there were no obligations to restore land, the mining companies would just come at the mining space and run their mining process fast without big concerns for the consequences.

But the caution definitely slows them down.
