What does Low Impact Exploration mean?

Low-impact exploration activities within a granted Exploration Licence have low social and environmental impacts.

For example, our drill program at Sunday Creek has been designed to have minimal impact on the environment and the surrounding community.

We are using a local drilling company based in Heathcote to complete a diamond drilling program using specially designed lightweight, low-noise, rubber-mounted track rigs. All the drilling is completed on or adjacent to existing tracks so that no clearing of vegetation is required. We also only drill during daylight hours to minimise any disturbance to the surrounding landholders. At the end of the project, all drill holes will be rehabilitated so that no trace of the drilling will be seen.

All staff and contractors working on our exploration tenements are mindful of minimising their impact on the environment. We ensure no littering occurs and all waste is removed from the site.

We intend to have a high level of communication with any and all nearby landowners, and they need to be happy and satisfied that the property is left with the least amount of impact possible.
