Annual environmental performance assessment audits are conducted by an external environmental specialist and by regulatory authorities. An independent specialist also performed environmental legal compliance audits.

They consider the group’s compliance with the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) conditions and the mine’s environmental authorisations.

No major findings were reported from any of these audits and no environmental penalties were imposed by the regulatory authorities.
