Sustainability
Water, tailings and community: what we monitor and what we have committed to before a shovel goes in the ground.
Water
Surface water and groundwater monitoring is in place at all three projects, ahead of any development decision, so that a future baseline has years of pre-development data behind it rather than a single pre-permit snapshot.
Tailings
Any future Anvil Zone processing facility is being planned on a dry-stack or backfill basis. We are not evaluating a wet tailings storage facility, and are saying so now, at the study stage, rather than after a design has already been chosen for other reasons.
Community
Fallow Creek’s soil and geophysical programs to date have run with local landowner access agreements in place, and community engagement ahead of the planned maiden drill program is underway. Sable Creek’s shaft is inspected quarterly under our closure obligations regardless of whether a restart proceeds.
