Development

We are able to progress our projects efficiently in a short space of time. 

We operate in remote locations and high altitudes - a core competitive advantage. We have unrivalled knowledge of the key mining jurisdictions in the Americas and believe our experience in managing all project requirements including permitting, local community and government support places us in a strong position with regards to the execution of precious metal opportunities.

CLOSURE

We have always recognised that environmental and social  responsibility extends beyond the life of our operations. 

Mine closure plans include three types of closure. Progressive, final, and post closure. Progressive closure is for mines that are still operating but have components that are no longer in use or required. Final disclosure is for mines that have reached end of life, so all remaining components are closed, following a set schedule. Finally, post closure is for maintenance and monitoring activities, to ensure the closure is appropriate.
