Environment andsustainability

As we mine magnesite, we stay aware of our responsibility to the land, water and air, and to the people of our region.

A balanced relationship between mining and nature

With a sprinkler system across the pit and our covered plant, we keep dust to a minimum, and we are counted among the example companies for site management and occupational health.

We manage our environmental impact from the planning stage and prioritise practices that go beyond legal requirements.

Loading and haul road in the pit

Dust control

Sprinklers in the pit, on haul roads and in the plant suppress dust at the source, protecting air quality for our people and neighbours.

Covered ore processing building

Covered plant

Crushing, screening and beneficiation take place in a covered building, which limits the spread of dust and noise.

Workers wearing protective equipment

Health and safety

Our teams receive regular training, and personal protective equipment is mandatory on site.

Site rehabilitation

Leaving the land better than we found it

On benches where work is complete, we plan slope reshaping, topsoil spreading and replanting with local species. We will share our rehabilitation work on this page as it progresses.
