We are committed to minimising impacts to forests and our environmental footprint through risk-based and responsible biodiversity management, and to enhancing biodiversity via reforestation nearby our operations via our Environmental Enhancement projects and investments.
In FY23, Red Lake participated in the Federal Government’s 50 Million Tree Planting Program and planted 25,000 trees in a single day, in partnership with a local forest management company and schools, to revegetate an old tailings area.
These revegetation efforts complement previous work in 2011, where Red Lake constructed a 5.5-hectare wetland treatment area within the tailing storage facility to aid in natural degradation of ammonia in the contact water. In early 2022, Red Lake began a wetland expansion project to increase the wetland size to 14 hectares, which has improved effluent water quality discharged from the operation.
