Extract has received environmental approval for the Husab Mine and for the associated linear infrastructure.
Extensive specialist studies have been undertaken to investigate and manage the impacts of the proposed mine, plant and associated infrastructure on the bio-physical and socio-economic environment. Respected local scientists and socio economic specialists were retained to undertake baseline studies. The Environmental Impact Assessments and Management Plans were conducted to meet the requirements of the Equator Principles (www.equator-principles.com) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards.
During the development and operational phases, Extract is committed to operating to and maintaining these standards and procedures have been implemented to ensure Extract operates to best practice standards. A bi-annual environmental project audit by an independent assessor will be undertaken to ensure these standards are maintained.
