Water, Residues & Emissions
Water and residues are part of process design.
Genesis evaluates water demand, sources, reuse, residue routes and emissions during mine and process development.
Controls vary with ore, location and technology.
-
Water
A defined water balance, use rights, quality monitoring and separation of use and discharge streams.
-
Residues
Residue type, characteristics, management route and controls are defined before reuse is considered suitable.
-
Dust and emissions
Measurements inform handling, crushing, transport and process controls at relevant exposure points.
Resource value first
- Lower losses. Selective mining, dilution control and storage that preserves useful options.
- Better recovery. Recovery improvements, lower-grade materials and secondary streams evaluated.
- Efficient inputs. Water, energy and material balances inform lifecycle comparisons.
- Deeper knowledge. Exploration, reassessment and technology identify additional resource value.
