Outcomes

Our company continues to work with mine personnel to fulfil the mines management and progressive mine site decommissioning objectives. Progressive rehabilitation continues at decommissioned tailings dams and on decommissioned infrastructure sites.

Our experience in arid zone revegetation has seen successful revegetation at all sites meeting the requirements of regulators and site personnel alike.

Relevant Components

Revegetation of sites across the mine tenement involves replicating components of the natural regional community such as clay pans and using local provenance seed. In order to create niches suitable for seed germination tailings dam rehabilitation has involved progressive mechanical topsoil scalloping.
