MANAGING OUR EFFECTS
At OceanaGold Waihi, sustainability is fundamental to the way we do business. We are actively closing a mine at Reefton in the South Island, having successfully and sustainably operated that mine on Forest Park land. The Waihi North Project will demonstrate that it is possible to operate responsibly under conservation land, deliver economic development, and leave a positive legacy.
We will be applying the ‘effects management regime’ under the Resource Management Act to ensure that any adverse impacts associated with the Waihi North Project are avoided, remedied, or mitigated.
By applying these principles, the effects associated with the Waihi North Project will be appropriately managed. Through this project OceanaGold Waihi will look to identify and implement additional actions that go beyond mitigating effects.
OceanaGold Waihi also operates in close proximity to a number of residential properties and therefore must monitor and meet very stringent limits on the mine’s environmental effects.
Technical studies for the Waihi North Project are ongoing. Over the next few months, we will share more in-depth details of the proposed project and how we plan to manage any effects. Community input will contribute to the final project design.
