Two unmined sections of the pit could be mined if market conditions for copper are appropriate. |
At around 12-18 years, Acacia kosiensis begins to senesce, and species typical of adjacent unmined areas begin to occupy the canopy gaps. |
Establish unmined biological corridors within the affected area to aid in the recruitment and re-establishment of biota. |
Buoys were dropped temporarily marking the end point of a mining excursion to avoid leaving an unmined gap when the next excursion started. |
Progress towards achieving this objective can be measured by comparing biodiversity parameters in the rehabilitated area with those in selected unmined reference sites. |
Las Cruces is one of the highest-grade unmined copper deposits in the world. |
