Environmental Achievements

  • Successfully constructed and operated a pilot plant version of a proposed full-scale water treatment system to treat discharge water currently managed by the EPA.
  • Established a research partnership with the University of Idaho to investigate mine water infiltration pathways and flow rates.

Social Achievements

  • Acquired Coeur D'Alene Mining Contractor (CMC), gaining valuable mining contractor expertise, equipment, and key leadership.
  • Approximately 80% of the workforce consists of local employees, with plans to increase this to 95%.
  • Collaborating with the Governor's office to establish a skills and employment training program.

Governance Achievements

  • Robust Board structure comprising 7 Directors, with 4 independent Directors and 2 female Directors.
  • Adherence to relevant frameworks and initiatives.

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

  • Continuous discharge of contaminated water from historic mine workings.
  • Potential environmental and social impacts of the project on downstream human and ecological receptors.
  • Traffic impacts on the local area expected to increase during construction and operation phases.
  • Various specialist environmental and social studies planned but yet to commence (e.g., biodiversity and noise baseline studies).
Mitigation Strategies
  • Exploring alternative, cost-effective water treatment solutions to potentially replace the EPA system.
  • Forthcoming ESHIA to address traffic-related impacts and incorporate traffic management plans.
  • Conducting additional studies on water quality and treatment.
  • ESHIA process scheduled to commence in the second half of 2024 to evaluate potential environmental and social impacts.

Supply Chain Management

Responsible Procurement
  • Emphasis on hiring local service providers and procuring goods locally (over 70% planned)
