Environmental
Policy
Resources Gold Technology shares
global concern around environmental degradation and in particular consumption of
water and energy resources. Enabling effective production while minimizing
degradation of the environment is at the core of the technological development
drive for Resources Gold Technology.
By developing new or cleaner
technologies, we make production processes more efficient, reduce costs and help
prevent environmental degradation. By adopting best international environmental
practice and maintaining compliance with legislative and other requirements,
Resources Gold Technology works closely with owner / operators to promote clean
and sustainable mineral processing.
In general responsible
environmental practice for owner / operators includes the following
aspects:
-
Obtaining or maintaining ISO 14001
certification.
-
Compliance with legislation, regulations
and permits.
-
The security of and improvement of
efficiency in the use of energy resources.
-
The security of and improvement of
efficiency in the use of water resources.
-
Minimizing the impact of operations on air
quality.
-
Understanding the risks and opportunities
presented by climate change.
-
Eliminating waste disposal to
landfill.
-
Responsible materials stewardship.
-
Supporting biodiversity and minimizing
impacts on land resources.
-
Minimizing closure environmental risks
through integrated environmental management and closure
planning.
Resources Gold Technology assess
the eco-efficiency and health, safety and environmental impacts as well as the
effects of incorporating best practice and cleaner more efficient technology in
the various stages of our products through impact assessments, internal
auditing, and life cycle assessments.
Many different chemicals can be
used in the mining and extraction process. The chemicals used can vary greatly
in the degree of hazard they pose to the environment. In particular the
potential negative impacts of hazardous chemical use must be anticipated and
avoided through appropriate controls, or where feasible, substituting them with
low hazard chemicals. In cases however, where no economically viable substitutes
are available, hazardous chemicals need to be responsibly and carefully managed,
whilst deriving maximum efficiency from their use.
Resources Gold Technology ensures
that all projects, processes and equipment supplied comply with regulatory and
community based requirements including:
-
Noise Emission Control and
Minimization
-
Aesthetic and Visual Impact
-
Toxic Chemical Removal /
Destruction.
-
Dust Control
-
Project Specific Environmental
Requirements.
With environmental responsibility
at the core of technological progress Resources Gold Technology takes a
responsible and proactive role in all aspects of its gold
technologies.
