Sustainability & Safety

Leave the landworking.

A lease is borrowed ground. We extract bench by bench, recirculate our water, suppress our dust and hire from the villages around us — as the way the plant runs, not as a closure plan.

Our position

Silica is a finite resource and silica dust is a real hazard. Taking both seriously is not a marketing position — it is what lets a plant keep its lease, its people and its buyers for decades.

02 · Land & reclamation

6.2 ha

Worked benches progressively reclaimed

Land & reclamation

Extraction runs bench by bench, and worked-out benches are backfilled with overburden, top-soiled and replanted rather than left open until lease closure.

  • Topsoil stripped and stockpiled separately for reuse
  • Progressive backfill of exhausted benches
  • Native species planting on reclaimed ground

03 · Water

68%

Process water recirculated

Water

Dust suppression and plant water is drawn from settling ponds and recirculated. The Stage 2 washing circuit is being designed closed-loop from the start.

  • Three-stage settling ponds at the plant
  • Rainwater harvesting across the yard
  • Closed-loop design for the washing circuit

04 · Dust & air

24

Sprinkler points on haul roads and transfer points

Dust & air

Silica dust is an occupational hazard before it is an environmental one. Wet suppression runs at every transfer point, and haul roads are watered on a fixed schedule.

  • Wet suppression at crusher discharge and conveyor transfers
  • Covered loads on every despatch
  • Mandatory respiratory protection in the screening house

05 · People & community

80%

Workforce hired from surrounding villages

People & community

Most of the workforce lives within twenty kilometres of the lease. On-site quarters, meals and transport are provided for those who need them.

  • On-site quarters for up to 100 workers
  • Skills training on plant operation and maintenance
  • Support for the village school and water supply

Safety

Everyone goes home.

Crushing and screening plants are unforgiving places. We measure safety by the one number that matters and publish it.
