 Assessing DRDGOLD Limited 's Alignment with Responsible Gold Mining Principles Gold mining company DRDGOLD is making significant strides in aligning with the World Gold Council’s (WGC) Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMPs). Starting in May, DRDGOLD initiated a comprehensive self-assessment process to measure conformance levels across all its operations, following its membership with the WGC last year. The company plans to publish progress on its alignment efforts in the first quarter of next year, with an external assurance report scheduled for 2026. In this rigorous journey, DRDGOLD is committed to developing and implementing policies, systems, processes, and controls that adhere to the RGMPs. The company aims to enhance transparency by disclosing information that helps stakeholders understand its conformance pursuits and securing independent assurance to build stakeholder confidence and credibility. How Soil Solutions Can Help DRDGOLD Achieve Its ESG Goals At Soil Solutions, we can support DRDGOLD in its efforts to align with the RGMPs. Our sustainable mining solutions can play a crucial role in enhancing their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. Here’s how we can contribute: Road Improvement and Dust Mitigation: Our EBS Soil Stabilizer can be used for mine haul road improvement, significantly reducing dust generation and enhancing road durability. This can contribute to better air quality and safer working conditions, aligning with the RGMPs' environmental principles. Reduced Environmental Impact: By implementing our dust control and soil stabilization technologies, DRDGOLD can minimize water usage and soil erosion, thus reducing the overall environmental footprint of their operations. Improved Air Quality: Effective dust suppression directly impacts air quality, benefiting both workers and nearby communities. This can support DRDGOLD’s commitment to social responsibility and sustainable development. Operational Efficiency: Our solutions can not only contribute to a safer and healthier environment but also improve operational efficiency by reducing maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of infrastructure. The alignment with RGMPs reflects DRDGOLD’s dedication to responsible gold mining practices, addressing the expectations of consumers, investors, and the downstream gold supply chain. As they work towards these goals, Soil Solutions can be a committed partner, providing innovative solutions that foster sustainable and responsible mining practices.

Antonia Scrase, the Mine Land Rehabilitation Authority's Technical Director, recently had an interview published in Mining Magazine Australia. Below is a little snippet from the article. "Modern mining practices have seen an increased demand for sustainable resource extraction and environmental stewardship, including the effective rehabilitation of mine sites and their surrounding environment upon closure. Planning for rehabilitation is critical and needs to be factored into all stages of a mine life cycle, from project inception and pre-feasibility onwards". https://bit.ly/3v6PK1L

Interesting perspective on Canadian mineral wealth and mining industry in general and Ontario’s specifically (Sudbury is in Ontario). https://lnkd.in/djfznuzb

It’s been a long time since a #copper and #gold mine has opened in #Wyoming. The state, renowned for its diverse mineral deposits and unique geology, plays a vital role in supplying raw materials for various industries and energy development. In a nod to the historical Gold Rush era, small miners continue to stake claims on public lands in search of precious minerals, adding a modern chapter to the state's mining legacy. Just outside of the state’s capitol, Cheyenne, work is progressing on what could be the state’s first copper and gold mine in decades. The CK gold project is a large-tonnage, gold-copper deposit featuring some of the best grade mineralization right at surface and a surrounding extensive lower-grade zone with potential for resource expansion. Discovered in 1881, the deposit underwent limited mining but gained attention through various exploration phases. In 2014, #USGoldCorp (NASDAQ:USAU)acquired the project from Energy Fuels and started drilling in 2017. More at #Proactive #ProactiveInvestors #NASDAQ #USAU http://ow.ly/ZioG1058CuK

(NASDAQ:USAU) acquired the project from Energy Fuels and started drilling in 2017. Until 2019, the firm was focused on its exploration assets in Nevada, and with investor reluctance to fund exploration around that time, the executive team was looking at monetizing CK. Co-founder and executive chairman Luke Norman figured he would run the project by his friend George Bee, a long-time mining and development veteran with experience turning some of Barrick’s projects into operating mines. When Bee took a closer look, he saw a straightforward project, particularly in terms of the simple open-pit mining and copper and gold recovery. https://lnkd.in/gVbr5Guk #mining #invest #stock #discovery #copper #gold #USA #mineralexploration

via Stockhead Greenstone Resources Limited is expediting pathways to production for its Phillips Find and Burbanks mining centres, with assays on their way from 15 of 75 relogged and sampled holes with the potential to add future resource ounces. Initial pit optimisations for Phillips Find have shown the potential for large cutbacks on the existing Newminster and Newhaven open pits, which – along with the Baccus Gift pit – hosts a near-surface resource of 732,960t @ 2.3g/t #gold for 54,567oz. The majority of the Phillips Find resource is within 140m from surface of the granted mining licenses, making it amenable to open-pit practices.

Matsa Resources Limited (ASX:MAT) receives further outstanding gold assays as it continues to progress its Devon Pit Gold Mine towards production🌟⛏️ "These results continue to support our view that the Devon Pit Gold Mine is a valuable asset that Matsa plans to put into production once permitting is in place and financing and processing arrangements have been made" "Our studies to date have demonstrated a potential mine that produces in excess of 250,000 tonnes at over 4g/t which is exciting. I can say we are working closely with a number of independent operators to explore mining and scheduling options with the aim of commencing mining as soon as possible once all the necessary permitting is in place" "The results of the West lode continue to impress and we can see a potential mining scenario that could deliver earlier cashflow than previously modelled, simply by starting in a different area of the mine and rescheduling the mine’s development" "We look forward to continue providing updates on the Devon Pit Gold Mine, as well as Lake Carey in general, as new information continues to build the picture" - Matsa Resources Executive Chairman Paul Poli #ASX #ASXNews #Mining #Investing #Gold Subscribe to the weekly Stock Market Newsletter www.themarketbull.com.au
