PROJECTS

Mine Materials Assessment – St Elmo Vanadium Project

Geochemistry and Contaminated Land

Mine Waste Management

Soil Science and Rehabilitation

Multicom Resources is developing the St Elmo Vanadium project in Queensland. RGS was engaged by Epic Environmental to develop a geochemical and physical sampling and analytical program (GaPSaAP ) to quantify the soil fertility, geochemical and physical properties of the materials from the topsoil to deepest mined surface. The work by RGS led to approval of the SEIS submission.

Mount Isa Mines Rehabilitation Material Sampling and Analysis Plan

Mine Closure

Soil Science and Rehabilitation

RGS was engaged by Glencore’s Mount Isa Mines Limited to develop and undertake a Rehabilitation Material Sampling and Analysis Program (RMSaAP) to identify and quantify potential materials that can be used to rehabilitate the large tailings storage facility (TSF) with an earthen cover system sourced from adjoining hills.

Hazelwood Pit Lake Modelling

Mine Closure

Predictive and Numerical Modelling

Soil Science and Rehabilitation

RGS is engaged to develop a final void/ pit lake water balance and water quality model (tool) to assess several Closure options for the Hazelwood Coal Mine in the Latrobe Valley, Victoria. As part of the Project, RGS has initiated and managed several hydro-geochemical investigations to support the modelling and Closure options.

Latrobe Valley pit lake water balance and water quality modelling

Mine Closure

Soil Science and Rehabilitation

RGS was engaged by LVRRS - DELWP to undertake a scoping study in consultation with a panel of experts to develop a framework for modelling the geochemical and limnological evolution of mine pit lakes and identify critical data gaps for follow-up investigation; and, produce a GoldSim pit lake water balance and water quality model that enables the evolution of three pit lakes to be modelled over a 100-year period.

Mount Carlton Gold Mine

Geochemistry and Contaminated Land

Mine Closure

Mine Waste Management

Soil Science and Rehabilitation

RGS is assisting Evolution Mining Limited at the Mt Carlton Operation with several geochemistry investigations which will support the development of a Progressive Rehabilitation and Closure Plan (PRCP) and detailed design for the waste rock storage facility (WRSF).
