Abstract

No on ground exploration work was carried out on the Warrego Leases in 2000. Environmental rehabilitation commenced in 1999 with the completion of mining the Warrego Shallow Oxide Gold resource and completion of the gold and copper extraction process. Monitoring, waste rock characterisation studies, tailing dam design, hydrology and contaminate analysis were carried out around the Warrego mine site. Rehabilitation carried out included stabilisation of the subsidence area and tailing dams, ripping, seeding and fencing of rehabilitated areas. (Orton, 2000). Monitoring of rehabilitation areas continued into 2000. No on ground exploration has been planned for the remainder of 2001. Environmental rehabilitation will continue on the Warrego mine site.
