Sustainable by design
Responsible resource.
Efficient processing.
Our approach
Get more from every tonne
A mineral resource is finite. The most useful thing we can do is make sure more of what we extract becomes saleable product, and less of it becomes waste.
That means planning extraction carefully, running processing steps efficiently, managing the water used in washing and scrubbing, and finding uses for fine fractions.
We will report specific environmental figures once they are measured and verified, rather than make broad claims.
Focus areas
Four areas we work on
Resource Efficiency
Planning extraction and processing so that more of each tonne mined ends up as saleable product.
Process Optimization
Reviewing each processing stage to cut avoidable energy use and rework.
Water Management
Managing process water in washing and scrubbing, with reuse where the process allows.
Material Recovery
Developing uses for fine fractions and by products instead of treating them as waste.
