Tailings Management

Tailings are the waste materials generated during the mineral extraction process. Proper management of tailings is essential to minimize environmental impact and ensure the safety of nearby communities. At Routes Mines Gold, we implement best practices for tailings management, including:

• Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs): Constructing and maintaining engineered TSFs to safely contain and store mine tailings.

• Tailings Dewatering: Utilizing dewatering techniques to reduce the volume of tailings and minimize the risk of dam failure.

• Tailings Reprocessing: Investigating opportunities for tailings reprocessing to recover valuable minerals and reduce the volume of waste materials stored in TSFs.

Dam Safety

Ensuring the safety and stability of mining dams is a top priority at Routes Mines Gold. We employ rigorous dam safety protocols and monitoring systems to assess dam performance, detect potential risks, and take proactive measures to mitigate them. Our dam safety measures include:

• Regular Inspections: Conducting regular inspections and assessments of mining dams to identify any signs of instability or deterioration.

• Instrumentation and Monitoring: Installing instrumentation and monitoring systems, such as piezometers and inclinometers, to monitor dam behavior and detect changes in water levels, seepage, and slope stability.

• Emergency Preparedness: Developing emergency response plans and protocols to address potential dam failures and protect downstream communities and ecosystems.

Environmental Stewardship

Routes Mines Gold is committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our mining operations, including the management of mining dams. We adhere to strict environmental regulations and standards to ensure the protection of water resources, wildlife habitats, and ecosystems. Our environmental stewardship initiatives include:

• Water Quality Monitoring: Monitoring water quality in downstream water bodies to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and protect aquatic ecosystems.

• Habitat Restoration: Implementing habitat restoration and revegetation programs to mitigate the impact of mining activities on local flora and fauna.

• Community Engagement: Engaging with local communities and stakeholders to communicate about dam safety and environmental protection measures and address any concerns or questions.

Continuous Improvement

Routes Mines Gold is committed to continuous improvement in dam management practices. We regularly review and update our policies, procedures, and technologies to incorporate the latest industry best practices and scientific advancements. By striving for excellence in dam management, we aim to minimize risks, protect the environment, and enhance the sustainability of our operations.
