Enviromental Social Governance
Rehabilitating Legacy Mining Liabilities
Historic tailings dumps often represent long-standing environmental risks, including dust pollution, unstable waste structures, acid-generating material exposure, and land degradation.
Synterra Mining’s retreatment model is designed to convert these dormant liabilities into rehabilitated and environmentally managed sites.
We are committed to:
Tailings Risk Reduction
Reducing the environmental footprint of historic tailings dumps;
Stabilizing disturbed mining areas;
Minimizing uncontrolled erosion and dust emissions;
Improving post-processing land conditions.
Progressive Rehabilitation
Implementing rehabilitation concurrently with operations wherever practical;
Recontouring and stabilizing reprocessed dump areas;
Supporting revegetation and ecological restoration;
Designing closure outcomes aligned with long-term land usability.
Water Stewardship
Promoting responsible water use and recycling practices;
Minimizing freshwater withdrawal where feasible;
Monitoring process-water quality and discharge;
Preventing contamination of surface and groundwater systems.
ESG
Responsible recovery of residual gold from historic tailings deposits;
Reducing legacy environmental risks associated with abandoned mine dumps;
Operating with transparency, integrity, and regulatory compliance;
Protecting the health, safety, and wellbeing of employees, contractors, and surrounding communities;
Supporting local economic participation and skills development;
Minimizing environmental footprint through efficient processing technologies;
Maintaining robust governance, ethical conduct, and investor accountability;
Ensuring progressive rehabilitation and long-term land stewardship.
Sustainable Tailings Reprocessing
Recovering Value While Restoring Land
Synterra Mining’s business model is built around the concept that historic tailings deposits can represent both:
An environmental liability; and
A recoverable economic resource.
By applying modern geological evaluation, metallurgical testing, and responsible processing methods, we aim to:
Recover residual gold efficiently;
Reduce legacy environmental burdens;
Improve land conditions post-processing;
Create economically productive rehabilitation pathways.
Our operations are intended to contribute to a more sustainable and circular mining economy.
ESG & Responsible Mining
Tailings retreatment is inherently aligned with modern ESG principles:
Environmental remediation of historical waste
Reduction of legacy contamination risks
Land rehabilitation and reuse
Local employment and community development
Investors gain exposure to gold while contributing to measurable environmental and social impact.
