We recognise that responsible environmental management is essential to the long-term success of our projects. From exploration through to project development, environmental considerations are integrated into planning and decision-making processes. Our objective is to minimise environmental impacts while supporting responsible resource development.
At Sanankoro, extensive environmental studies have been undertaken as part of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment process, helping to identify environmental sensitivities and establish management measures designed to avoid, minimise and mitigate potential impacts. The project received its Environmental Permit following completion of this work, reflecting the standards applied throughout the assessment process.
Our focus areas
Solar Hybrid Power
We are also conscious of the role mining companies can play in supporting lower-carbon development pathways.
Cora Gold has previously implemented hybrid power solutions at exploration camps and continues to consider opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions across its activities where practical.
A solar hybrid power option has been incorporated into the plant design, delivering savings in both operating costs and carbon emissions. The hybrid power generation solution, combining thermal and solar power with a battery energy storage system, anticipates a substantial reduction in diesel fuel consumption saving approximately 4 million litres annually and 40 million litres over the processing period during the mine-life.
Reducing diesel use lowers emissions, improving community health, complying with regulations and is a sign of our responsible governance.
- 4M litres of diesel saved a year
- 40M litres Over the mine life
Through responsible environmental stewardship, we aim to protect the natural resources that support local communities while developing projects capable of delivering long-term economic benefits.
