Environmental Stewardship

Our commitment to environmental stewardship at the Hillgrove Project is paramount.

We understand our responsibility to protect and preserve the natural environment of the New England High Country. Our approach is proactive, focused on minimising impact, enhancing biodiversity, and ensuring responsible resource management throughout the mine’s lifecycle.

Key Initiatives and Focus Areas:

Minimising Environmental Footprint:

  • Tailings Management: A significant focus for Larvotto is the transition from a wet tailings storage facility to a dry stack landform. This innovative approach significantly reduces water usage and potential environmental risks associated with traditional tailings dams and supports progressive site
  • Water Management: Implement robust water management strategies to minimise consumption and ensure responsible discharge, protecting local waterways.
  • Energy Efficiency & Emissions: Explore opportunities for energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in our operations as we ramp up to production.

Biodiversity & Land Use:

  • Progressive Rehabilitation: Our plans include progressive rehabilitation of disturbed areas, aiming to restore the land to its pre-mining or agreed-upon condition as efficiently as possible.
  • Biodiversity Protection: Implement measures to protect local flora and fauna, including targeted biodiversity surveys and management plans.

Waste Management: Beyond tailings, we are committed to managing all operational waste responsibly, seeking to reduce, reuse, and recycle where possible.

Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to all relevant Australian environmental legislation and industry best practices. Our environmental management plans are designed to meet or exceed regulatory requirements.
