Water Stewardship

Our Strategy & Approach

Our management of water-related risks includes the consideration of and engagement with other users within the catchment. We also support access to clean, reliable water supplies for communities around our operations.

Each mine is responsible for the development and implementation of procedures and programs that comply with corporate policies and initiatives. Water management considerations are integrated into mine operation and closure plans.

Programs & Initiatives

Water baseline studies are conducted prior to mining to identify catchment or district-level water availability and quality
Water balances track site-level water use, reuse, and discharge quantities
Participatory water monitoring programs at our Peruvian and Canadian operations involve community representatives from around our mine sites
