The key environmental risks associated with our operations are as follows: Š impact on water resources, both through inefficient use and potential contamination of natural water sources; Š inappropriate waste management activities may cause water and soil contamination; Š permanent changes in topography, land use and land capability due to the final disposal of mining waste on surface; Š depletion of non-renewable sources due to inefficient consumption; Š biodiversity loss due to the spread of invasive vegetation as well as increasing mining footprints; Š illegal mining activities damaging previously rehabilitated areas; Š availability of water and damage to infrastructure due to climate change; and Š the continued deepening of underground operations may cause an increase in the open pit footprint, leading to the risk of damage to surface infrastructure.
