At the minesite, various ongoing environmental improvements and initiatives are currently underway.

Some environmental achievements to date include:

• The protection and promotion of natural revegetation;
• Major clean up and decontamination projects;
• Thousands of tonnes of scrap steel recycled;
• Improved management of storm water and runoff from the mine site;
• Continually improved management of tailings facility decant water discharge;
• Major drainage works by State Government to allow treatment of the acid drainage from pre CMT operations. This remediation process will recover copper from the polluted waters and revenue will be used by the State for additional future remediation projects.
