Sustainability drives every step we take over the entire life cycle of our mines and across every aspect of our business. This is reflected in the relationships we build with local communities, and our focus on implementing socially and environmentally responsible practices.
Our approach to responsible and sustainable mining is holistic and built upon 4 main pillars: Safe, inclusive and innovative operations; Responsibly produced products; Engaged and prosperous communities; and Healthy Environments now and for the future.
Find out more about our Sustainability StrategyFrom exploration through to mine closure and environmental reclamation, the mining life cycle may take up to several decades. Our responsible and sustainable mining life cycle consists of 5 main stages and considers sustainability in the environment and society, as well as the mines and their products. Alongside the completion of mining operations, we ensure parallel reclamation and rehabilitation of the wider area surrounding the Kassandra Mines, and its prompt return to the local community.
Find out more about the Mining Life CycleGeological surveys involve complex procedures conducted in phases over time, including geochemical, geophysical and drilling operations.
The identification of deposits does not always lead to production, since determining whether to execute a prospective investment requires in-depth research and analysis.
Once a mining project obtains the required permits, the capital and the support of the stakeholders, construction can begin.
Production includes extracting and enriching minerals, transporting products for sale and managing left-over materials.
Parallel reclamation, i.e. rehabilitating land alongside mining activities, is a crucial element of the planning phase and the mining operations.
