ESG & Sustainability

ESG & Sustainability

Our approach is practical and measurable: secure legacy workings, protect water and biodiversity, grow local prosperity, and maintain transparent governance.

Our Pillars

Safety & Risk

Zero-harm design is non-negotiable. We engineer out risk and secure legacy workings while ramping production.

  • Formal access control & monitoring at historic shafts.
  • Design-led hazard elimination across pits and declines.

Environment & Biodiversity

Concurrent rehabilitation restores surface integrity and indigenous vegetation while shallow ounces are mined responsibly.

  • Topsoil preservation and re-seeding
  • Dust/noise mitigation and progressive closure

Water & Waste

Prospecting-phase baseline completed. Mining Permits use Basic Assessment Reports; water/waste licensing sits with the offtake processor.

  • Closed-loop housekeeping at permits
  • Haulage to toll treatment ~8 km

Social & Local Value

Local jobs, skills uplift and supplier inclusion—paired with actions that directly improve surface safety in nearby communities.

  • Local employment and procurement
  • Stakeholder engagement and SLP planning

Rehabilitation-Led Safety Program

In New Kleinfontein, we will expose and seal historic openings along the outcrop to deter illegal access and stabilise the surface near homes, schools, roads, rail and services. Steps include deep trenching to reveal voids, removal of shallow ore, backfilling with broken waste rock, compaction to form an impassable plug, and finally topsoil replacement and re-seeding of indigenous species.

This program directly addresses community safety risks caused by illegal access and undermining of critical infrastructure adjacent to residential areas and rail.

Why it matters: without sealing, the area faces long-term environmental, social and economic harm, impacting thousands of residents.

Measurable Outcomes (initial)

  • Access points permanently sealed
    100% of known openings
  • Concurrent rehab progress
    Quarterly hectares restored
  • Community incidents
    Zero harm target

Compliance Snapshot

Our rights, authorisations and processing route are structured for compliant, low-impact ramp-up.

Prospecting Right (PR)
GP10448 PR
Valid to Oct 2025; extendable +3 years
Environmental Authorisations
APPROVED
BARs for permits; compliance
Offtake / Processor
Goldplat PLC (MOU)
Toll treatment ~8 km; licences at processor
Start of Production (target)
2026
Staged ramp-up
  • PR validity & extension: valid to Oct 2025 with potential 3-year extension.
  • Environmental status: authorisations approved; Mining Permits utilise Basic Assessment Reports.
  • Licensing & logistics: water/waste licences at the offtake processor; ore haul ~8 km to toll treatment under MOU.

People & Communities

Turnbridge and New Kleinfontein together are planned to create substantial local employment and supplier opportunities, scaling with the ramp-up and life-of-mine.

Planning indicates a minimum of ~600 sustained jobs, with potential to exceed 800 as access is formalised and legacy openings are sealed.

Local Value Focus

  • Local hiring & training for operators and supervisors
  • Inclusive procurement for approved regional suppliers
  • Transparent grievance & engagement channels
