Vbig,
The "green" issue is important and will, in my opinion, become more important as we go forward....
3card has correctly stated that Jubilee remove the metals from the (waste) tailings which obviously make the remaining waste cleaner than before. But secondly, Jubilee leave that remaining waste in a much more environmentally friendly manner.
The following are extracts from the Co Presentation on the Co website..............
Implementing environmentally conscious metal recovery solutions that ensure a zero-effluent policy.
First mover advantage to take advantage of global opportunity for metals recovery and satisfying increasing environmental liabilities.
Transferred 600 000 tonnes of historical unsealed waste into modern zero effluent facility.
Rehabilitation of tailings dam core to strategy rehabilitated 550 000 tonnes of waste material onto sealed storage facilitwith zero effluent
Received recognition from the World Bank for innovative design incorporating rehabilitation and zero effluent at its core.
World leading team with ability to design build and execute mine waste treatment projects, applying advanced environmentally sustainable techniques.
In addition, this extract is from the latest Co Financial Report..........
Reducing the amount of mining waste residue;
Jubilee’s innovative capacity and technical leadership enables the Company to generate significant value from
resources that were previously believed to be irrecoverable and sat as primarily on surface waste. In doing so,
Jubilee is creating carbon negative ecosystems by significantly reducing the amount of waste residue from mining
processes by extracting the metal contained within the material and depositing the residue from the reprocessing in
an environmentally friendly manner with a zero-effluent policy.
Jubilee’s business model is based on the processing of primary and secondary waste and discard streams; Jubilee’s
responsible processing of these streams assists in reducing the negative impact of same on the environment and
also reducing the health risks of the environmental liability that is created by the above ground material; this makes
the business model very attractive.
In summary, as regards existing tailings, Jubilee pick up a load of waste material which contains metals and in some cases toxics, remove the metals and then redeposit the remaining waste material in a environmentally friendly manner ensuring a zero-effluent policy.
I hope that helps,
BB2.
