Hi SM. Tnx.
Downloadable - takes a while though:-/
Good article. few snippets:
"Through the $4.2bn Woodsmith Mine, Sirius Minerals will disrupt the ‘sustainability in mining’ conversation"
“This project will establish Sirius as a global fertiliser company,” says Graham Clarke, Operations Director at Sirius Minerals. “But I think what’s important to us is the way we’ve gone about doing that and the way we work."
In building such massive infrastructure, which provides low operating costs, minimal environmental impact and contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of the operation, Fraser believes that it represents a shining example as to what can be achieved with regards to sustainability in mining.
“What we’ve had to do is design a project that is setting new standards in sustainable design because ultimately, we’ve got a project for the next century and beyond, rather than one that’s based on thinking from the last century,” says Fraser. “Beyond that, we can really tap into the incredible technological advantages and thought that comes out of the UK, in terms of designing our operating systems, with regards to remote and/or automated operations, and really looking at achieving even
higher standards, in terms of our operational presence, once this infrastructure’s constructed.”
"Sirius Minerals will truly transform not only the fertiliser industry, but it will send a clear message to the global mining industry. The mining conversation is often dominated by Canada, Australia and emerging mining markets across Africa, but both Fraser and Clarke feel passionately that the Woodsmith Mine can put the UK back on the map"
