Environmental Policy
We minimize our impact on the environment through:
- Protection of the environment as an integral part of our activities
- Ensuring that stakeholders potentially affected by impacts are consulted and informed of our environmental objectives and performance
- Aiming for continuous improvement by implementing an environmental management program once the mine is approved
- To meet or exceed regulatory requirements minimizing new disturbance to the extent possible
- Monitoring our impact on the environment using baseline studies to assess changes
- Developing emergency action plans to mitigate the negative effects of unplanned events
- Raising environmental awareness by providing employees with the appropriate training and tools to prevent environmental risks and respond effectively to any incidents
- Ensuring efficient use of natural resources and consumer goods such as water and energy
- Minimizing our emissions to air, water, and soil, including the generation of waste, the production of greenhouse gases and looking for opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint
- Restoring the sites we disturb to ensure physical and chemical stability through progressive rehabilitation measures and regularly updating closure plans and ensuring financial assurances are in place
- Where feasible, restoring disturbances created by historical activities at the site
