Reclamation has been integrated into the Project design:

• Mine pits would be partially back-filled with mine rock and have reclaimable headwalls – steep but not vertical
• Tailings would be integrated into the mine rock storage facility. The Project does not include a hard to reclaim tailings pond or stand-alone facility to close and reclaim
• Bottom-up layer-cake mine rock storage creates a stable reclaimable landform that cleans its own water – the Project would not need long term active treatment or pumping in and out of a Saturated Rock Fill
• Progressive reclamation – once mine rock placement in East pit and North pit is complete, reclamation can start while mining is still ongoing in South pit.
