Stream flow (Guadalquivir Basin Reservoir)

Precipitation (expected 150 l/m^2 for 2015)

Wind speed & direction (N,E,W, Avg 20 km/hr)

Surface/ground water (Guadalquivir & Tinto River)

Air quality (PM10 near industrial area)

Soil (erosion & desertification)

Noise and light (duration, occurrences,

sensitivity)

Wildlife (SPC -Special area of

conservation; SPA -Special protected area for birds)

WATER, TAILING, WASTE

Mine Water Management System

4 Water treatment plants (Mine Water treatment plant, Water purification plant, Sewage Treatment plant, Emergency water treatment plant/storage pound)

Water balanced for inflow and outflow of each streams

Objectives and corresponding measures are established for both Surface and ground water management

Mine underground + Mill & process plant + TMF + Mine surface + Treatment Pant

Tailing Management• Paste backfill + landscaped cover system (HDPE)• High Density Polyethylene lining system – durability, chemical resistance• Great seepage prevention• High maintenance and operating cost (conveyor system)

Tailings cycloned

WesTech Deep bed Paste Thickener

Disposal Area 200m^2High Density Polyethylene lining system

Backfill treatment Plant (97% tailings + 3% Portland cement)

STAFFING & ORGANIZATION

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)

REPORT & AUDIT

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

(ERP)

• Health, Safety, Environment & community (HSEC) oversees risks and report to the board • Guidelines and examples of managerial positions provided in report

• Follow International Standardization for Organization 14000• Detailed plan will include specific environmental goals, effect, impacts, and operational procedures

• Audit will be conducted by contracted Spanish ventures that provide audit programs• List of annual performance reports are included in the Feasibility report

• will be developed during construction face of the project• Objectives of the plan will include mine rescue, hazardous material on mine site, type of emergencies and corresponding response

COMMUNITY DEVELEPMENT PLAN

S S


CULTURAL construction & expansion cultural space archaeological control & monitor community member engagement (especially woman and youth)

LABOR & WORKING CONDITION• prioritized indigenous people for jobs• Equal opportunity employment • insurance and benefits of employee• working condition follow EU Guidelines

PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURES• support local infrastructures construction and maintenance• construction of new road for easy access to mine site • provision research facility for new energy options

ECONOMIC & LIVELIHOODS• employment community members• vocational training center• provision of agricultural

HEALTH & WELLBEINGS• blasting & drilling mitigation • noise & light mitigation plan• dust generation monitoring• provision safe drinking water

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURES• provision health & education infrastructures• support local scholarships • expanding schools and hospitals

MONITORING

SOCIAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING

• regulatory agency will verify Community development plan

• external stakeholders’ issues such as the waste management plan will be closely monitored to ensure within permitted levels

• internal stakeholders’ general health and safety will be monitored and inspected

• physical stability of all structures especially the TMF will be monitored to ensure erosion control, soil stabilization, sediment control

• biodiversity will be monitored to ensure wellbeing of terrestrial species

• chemical stability will be monitored: air, water, dust

Projects With Purpose.
