Charbon Site, a former underground and open-cut mining operation in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, has reached an advanced stage of rehabilitation. The Company implements demolition, rehabilitation, and closure activities in accordance with NSW regulatory requirements, approved rehabilitation plans, and community oversight, with the aim of delivering safe, stable, and non-polluting landforms suitable for agreed post-mining land use.
Infrastructure demolition and decommissioning are integrated with earthworks rehabilitation to reduce long-term environmental liabilities and enhance landform stability. Progressive rehabilitation focuses on erosion control, surface water management, and revegetation using native species consistent with local ecosystems. Approximately 68% of the total disturbance footprint is under progressive rehabilitation, and monitoring confirms stable landforms and compliance with water quality criteria. We manage rehabilitation and closure risks through our environmental management system and enterprise risk management processes, while performance is evaluated through biodiversity surveys, environmental monitoring, audits, and community consultation.
