  • No native plant species are cut down without a restoration plan and environmental compensation.
  • Vegetation is monitored to ensure that there are no effects from drilling water.
  • Recovery and restoration of vegetation disturbed by the development of drill roads and drill platforms.
  • Surface drill platforms are re-contoured to a natural contour.
  • Waste underground drilling water is treated with lime to reduce acidity.
  • Waste rock from the development of the underground drill stations is stockpiled on surface in designated dump areas.
