“ By making rehabilitation a profitable enterprise through what we ’ re doing , we ’ re carving out a niche in the industry , we see this as the future for improved environmental outcomes in the mining industry .

After remining we ’ re reprocessing it , and then using subaqueous ( below water ) deposition to put it beneath the lake in the original pit shell . “ Historically , aging mine sites have presented a long-term challenge in Australia and overseas jurisdictions .
