Climate Goals & Targets

Medium-term Goals:
  • Not disclosed
Short-term Goals:
  • Complete construction (currently underway) on a new cell (Stage 3) before the next rainy season.

Environmental Challenges

  • Continued operation of the El Bagre Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) Stage 2 is considered to be high-risk, due to the upstream raise design, ad hoc capacity expansions via Geotube containers, and gaps on design and operating documentation. The TSF has no emergency spillway and relies on pumping to control water levels in the tailings pond.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Complete construction (currently underway) on a new cell (Stage 3) before the next rainy season. Soma developed a schedule for the TSF Stage 3 construction, which started in November 2022 and shows completion of the starter dam targeted for April 2023.
