1 INTRODUCTION

The Southern Cross region lies on the edge of the Goldfields to the east and the Wheat Belt to the

west in Western Australia (WA). Gold was first discovered in the region in 1887 with significant

gold discoveries from Bullfinch south to Marvel Loch. Gold was discovered at Corinthia, 15

kilometres (km) north of the Southern Cross town, in 1909 and the Corinthia Gold Mine has been

mined intermittently by a series of operators. Recently the Corinthia deposit has been held by a

series of larger gold mining companies who have not proceeded to mining. Adaman Resources

(Adaman) has re-commenced underground operations on M77/677.

Adaman Resources (Adaman) wholly owns M77/677 and M77/534. A small pit cutback has been

completed in the last 24 months on M77/677 by a previous owner, and that approval will support

an underground mining operation on this tenement. Adaman has recently been granted L77/291,

which will support the infrastructure required to dewater the Corinthia Pit.

Adaman owns M77/677 and M77/534 through its wholly owned subsidiaries Hopstorm Pty Ltd

and Goldlake Holdings however title has not yet been transferred. L77/291 was granted in the

name of Goldlake in September 2018.

The Corinthia deposit currently hosts two narrow pits north and south of shallow saddle

representing the boundary between M77/534 and M77/677. The pits both contain water that

will need to be pumped out to enable safe mining. The total volume of water is expected to be

232,000 cubic metres. Adaman will submit an Operating Licence application to the Department

of Water and Environmental Regulation under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986

(EP Act).

This Mining Proposal will seek approval for and expansion of the current underground operations

and dewatering of the Corinthia Pit into the Pilot pit.

Ore stockpiling will re-use the existing ROM area prior to road haulage to Marvel Loch for

processing by Tianye Sxo Gold Mining Pty Ltd. No crushing or screening of the ore is required at

the Corinthia site.

3 SUMMARY AND COMMITMENTS

Adaman is undertaking mining operations at the existing Corinthian Gold Mine, located

approximately 20km north of Southern Cross in the Goldfields Region of WA. Prior activities at

the Corinthia Project included deepening the existing pit by 22m (to a depth of 345m RL). The

mining has produced greater yields than expected and as a result underground operations have

resumed as approved in Mining Proposal- Amendment to Corinthia Project Version 4 (Reg ID

54772).

This Proposal includes the expansion of underground mining from M 77/677 into the adjacent M

77/534 and dewatering of the Corinthia Pit into Pilot Pit five km to the south.

The Project includes the following components:

Dewatering of Corinthia Pit; and

Expansion of existing underground operations.

The key characteristic of the Project are summarised in Table 2 below.

P a g e | 13

Corinthia Project tenement. The Project has no recorded sites of European Heritage significance

or Aboriginal Heritage significance.

Acid generating materials are not expected to have any impacts as all waste material will be stored

in the Pit or underground.

Development of the project provides increased opportunities for local employment.

Environmental effects from mining activities, such as dust generation, erosion and waste

generation are managed to mitigate or minimise any impacts. Commitments made regarding

management of the Project are provided in Table 3.

Table 4 summarises the key environmental factors identified for the project, together with

proposals for their management. Adaman considers all are able to be managed using practices and

procedures commonly applied in the mining industry. The predicted outcome in Table 4 for all

factors is no significant impact. Adaman considers there are only localised impacts from the

Project and these can be adequately managed.

Table 3: Commitments

Management Commitment and Implementation Timelines

Land Clearing

Minimise clearing; and Mark our areas to be cleared and clear only within designated areas.

Ongoing

Following disturbance cleared areas and stockpiles will be surveyed and documented on the site plan and reported in the Annual Environmental Report.

Following clearing works

Machinery and vehicles used to conduct clearing will be inspected for weeds and cleaned where appropriate prior to commencement of works; and

Machinery and vehicles will be restricted to the limits of the area to be cleared.

Prior to commencement of operations and throughout the life of mine

Weed spraying undertaken each year if weed spread is identified. Annually

Dust Generation

Implement dust mitigation over cleared areas and hardstand areas through the use of a water cart with sprays and dribble bar.

During construction and mining operations.

Water Contamination

Ensure hydrocarbons are stored and handled on site in a suitable bunded area in accordance with AS1940.

During construction and mining operations.

Waste Generation

All waste and recyclables to be deposited in bins on site for transfer to the Southern Cross Waste Disposal Facility;

Vehicles will be serviced on site in workshop; and Hydrocarbons will be stored in bunded containers.

As required

Closure and Rehabilitation

Following removal of all equipment, infrastructure any remediation of any contamination, the final land profile will be contour ripped and seeded in accordance with an approved Mine Closure Plan; and

Dewatering pipeline removed from site.

At closure.

4 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

OWNERSHIP

The works proposed in this Mining Proposal are to occur only on M 77/677, M 77/534, L 77/277

and L 77/291. The dewatering pipeline will be constructed on L77/291 and will discharge into

the Pilot Pit located on M 77/1049. Pilot Pit and M 77/1049 are owned by Tianye SXO Gold Mining

Pty Ltd (Tianye). Adaman has been authorised by Tinaye to dewater into the pit (Appendix 1).

M 77/677 & L 77/271 still registered in name of the previous owner Corinthian Mining Pty Ltd

(title in the process of being transferred). M 77/534 also still registered in name of previous

owner Tianye. L77/291 is owned by Hopstorm Pty Ltd, subsidiary of Goldlake.

Figure 2 also shows the location of the Project tenure in relation to other forms of land tenure.

The Project is located within the Shire of Yilgarn. The Project is surrounded by freehold land that

has been cleared for agriculture. The former townsite of Corinthia and the Corinthia cemetery

reserve are also identified.

The water pipeline from Southern Cross to Bullfinch runs through the Project area and has had to

be accommodated in previous proposals. The pipeline is no longer active (personal

communication with Darren Watson, WaterCorp) and would not be able to be used for potable

water supply.

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

P a g e | 18

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

This Mining Proposal seeks approval to expand the current operations at Adaman’s Corinthia

Project (the Project) in the Shire of Yilgarn. This Proposal includes the expansion of underground

mining from M 77/677 into the adjacent M 77/534 and dewatering of the Corinthia Pit into Pilot

Pit five km to the south. The Proposal seeks to mine 1.2 Million tonnes of ore and 350,000 tonnes

of waste rock. The Life of Mine (LoM) of the Project is five years. Resource drilling will continue

throughout the life of the Project.

LOCATION AND SITE LAYOUT PLANS

The Corinthia Project is located approximately 20 km north of Southern Cross and directly west

of the Southern Cross-Bullfinch Road (Figure 1)

A site plan for the Project is provided in Figure 3 and Figure 4. The site plan identifies tenement

boundaries and proposed mine activity types for the Mining Leases.

The key features of the activities are:

Ancillary facilities including workshop, offices etc.;

Dewatering of Corinthia Pit; and

Expansion of existing underground operations.

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

P a g e | 21

HISTORY

The Yilgarn region has a mixture of agricultural and mining land uses. The mines generally follow

the Southern Cross greenstone belt from Bullfinch south through Marvel Loch. The greenstone

belt has not been cleared for agriculture to the same extent as the areas to the west and east and

hence the region has a belt of remnant native vegetation.

The discovery of gold in Southern Cross pre-dates the gold rush of 1893 triggered by the finds in

Kalgoorlie. Gold was discovered at Lake Kookardine (just south of Corinthia) in 1888 and enabled

the small town to boom for a few years. Yilgarn is an Aboriginal word for white quartz, a common

indicator of gold (Western Australian Museum, 2017).

The Project is located directly west of the former Corinthia townsite. The townsite was originally

gazetted in 1911. Initially just tents and corrugated iron humpies that housed the Corinthian and

North Corinthia mine workforce, the town expanded to include a school, general store, news

agency and more substantial houses. Whilst the town grew to have a population of over 100 the

town never lived up to its initial plans. The town underwent a series of booms and busts as first

mining in region took off followed by agriculture, interrupted by War and changing economic

climates.

In 1944, the vast majority of the town was closed and few people remained. The majority of the

farmers in the region were unable to run economically viable farms and eventually moved

elsewhere in the state. Whilst the remaining agriculture in the area survived as farms

conglomerated, the closure of the Bullfinch mine to the North in 1962 and the subsequent closure

of the Corinthian mine saw the abandonment of the townsite. The sites of former buildings are

still visible among the native vegetation. Whilst no one currently resides and no land titles are

current at the Corinthia townsite the remains have historical value (Southern Cross Museum,

2018).

Remnants of old mining infrastructure, the foundations of a battery that was built in the 1930s at

the Corinthia Mine, are located within M77/677. Given little other than the foundations of the

battery remains, the values of this are expected to be of low significance compared to other

heritage sites in the Shire of Yilgarn, however design considerations have enabled sites of any

potential heritage value to be avoided.

A desktop review of the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage’s (DPLH) Aboriginal Heritage

Inquiry System database identified that there are no registered heritage sites that occur within or

in close proximity to the Project (Appendix 2).

EXISTING FACILITIES

The Corinthia Project is a relatively small scale mining operation and requires modest and

temporary infrastructure. All ore is transported off site and processed remotely. To facilitate the

current operations there is an existing Run of Mine (ROM) pad, power generators, laydown area,

office centre, workshops and access roads (Figure 3). This infrastructure will be adequate to

facilitate the expansion and no major infrastructure changes are proposed.

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

5 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT

REGIONAL SETTING

The Corinthia Project lies within the western part of the Coolgardie Botanical District of the south

western Botanical Province as described by Beard (1990). According to the Interim

Biogeographical Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA), the Corinthia Project is located within the

Southern Cross Subregion (COO2) of the Coolgardie Bioregion. The Southern Cross Subregion is

characterised by subdued relief, comprising gently undulating uplands dissected by broad valleys

with bands of low greenstone hills. It lies on the 'Southern Cross Terrains' of the Yilgarn Craton.

The granite strata of Yilgarn Craton are interrupted by parallel intrusions of Archaean Greenstone.

Drainage is occluded (Cowan, Graham & McKenzie, 2001).

The dominant land uses of the Southern Cross Subregion are grazing – native pastures (17%),

Unallocated Crown Land (UCL) and Crown Reserves (66.74%), Cultivation -Dry Land agriculture

(2.27%) and Conservation Reserves (11.53%)(Cowan, Graham & McKenzie, 2001)..

GEOLOGY

The Corinthia Project lies within a significant greenstone belt in the center of the Yilgarn Craton.

The belt is bounded by granitoid units and runs NW/SE showing three broad lithological units:

extrusive and intrusive mafic igneous rocks;

mixed sediments; and

banded iron formations (BIF).

The ore zones in the Corinthia mineralised area are stratabound and located in a number of

horizons in stretched (and possibly sheared) and folded volcano sedimentary rocks. The host

rocks are BIF and jasperlites and banded mafic to ultramafic iron rich units.

The mineralised zones are on the contacts between the ultramafics, mafics and BIFs with gold

mineralisation loosely associated with the presence of sulphide minerals and the presence of a

quartz vein network, ranging from 3 to 5 m in width. The quartz veins occur at the contact

between foliated amphibolite and sericite-chlorite schist. The quartz sericite schist is bounded to

the east by gneissic granite and to the west by foliated amphibolite. The BIFs and jasperlites occur

on the contact between the amphibolite and quartz vein. Fine-grained dolerite dykes intrude the

mineralised quartz vein and crosscut surrounding wall rocks.

The portion of the regional geology map relevant to Corinthia is shown in Figure 5

ACID GENERATION FROM WASTE ROCK AND TAILINGS

Waste rock will be store in Pit and underground,

No tailings will be produced on site.

SOILS AND SOIL PROFILES

Soil sub-system mapping has been completed around the Project area (Figure 6). The three major

soil sub-systems surrounding the Project are:

Greenmount 3;

Greenmount Perilya; and

Garrat 1Qa Phase.

These sub-systems are described in Table 6 (DPIRD, 2018). The Greenmount 3 soil and

Greenmount Perilya soil sub-systems are similar and are found in the area to be disturbed by the

Project.

Table 6: Soil sub-systems

Soil sub-system Description

Greenmount 3 Rises to low hills with occasional rock outcrop on greenstone in the Southern Cross Zone. Calcareous loamy earths, red/brown non-cracking clays and red loamy earths and some duplexes. Eucalypt woodland.

Greenmount Perilya

Tributary valley floors on alluvium and colluvium form greenstone in the Southern Cross Zone. Calcareous loamy earths, red loamy earths, red shallow loamy duplexes and alkaline grey shallow loamy duplexes.

Garrat 1Qa Phase Valley floors on Quaternary alluvium in the Southern Cross Zone. 35% friable red brown loamy earths and red brown red non-cracking clays 25% sandy and loamy duplexes grading from red to grey. Morrell woodland and saltbush.

Regional soil mapping by CSIRO (2018) shows that the Project is situated in an area that is rated

as C4 an extremely low risk of Acid Sulfate Soils (rated as C4) (CSIRO, 2018).

Topsoil samples were taken from a number of locations across the Project to assess the physical,

chemical characteristics and rehabilitation potential of the soil. The samples included areas of

“native topsoil” from undisturbed areas and “rehabilitation topsoil” from areas that had

previously been rehabilitated on the Eastern Waste Rock Landform. The samples were limited to

the top 10 centimetres of material. In summary, the samples show:

All topsoil samples were brown sandy clay loams with very little gravel content (<2% for

native topsoil and <15% for rehabilitation topsoil) typical of the above descriptions;

All samples were neutral to alkaline and non-saline;

All samples were only slightly dispersive (Emerson class 3 to 4);

All samples have moderate to high Cation Exchange Capacity (markedly higher in

rehabilitation topsoil); and

The native topsoil materials are likely to be suitable to promote plant germination and

growth without the need for segregation (due to different soil types and suitability’s) or

amendment (to promote stability).

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

P a g e | 25

No sampling of subsoil was completed, but regional experience with subsoils is that they are likely

to be sodic and dispersive and should not be relied upon as a surrogate for topsoil. Stripping for

topsoil should generally avoid capturing subsoils and spreading them at surface. The Western

WRL (see discussion below) provides further evidence of unstable subsoil behaviour when placed

on the surface of a WRL.

A site visit revealed that the historic rehabilitation results are variable, with a stable landform

with good quality rehabilitation on the eastern WRL. Although the species diversity is noticeably

lower than the surrounding native vegetation, the rehabilitated area includes trees approximately

5 m high, an understory that includes saltbush and bluebush as well as a range of annual grasses,

perennial shrubs and in many locations a layer of moss and cryptogams. The Western WRL was

not sampled for soils and shows less inherent stability and cover.

The recently completed NE WRL showed areas of cracking, dispersive topsoil interspersed with

areas of stable topsoil with a good germination of saltbush and blue bush.

HYDROLOGY

SURFACE WATER

The Project is located within the sub-catchment for Lake Julia. Lake Julia consist of series of salt

lakes that extend north of Southern Cross and eventually lead into the upper Seabrook – Deborah

– Campion catchment. The entire area is located within the Swan – Avon Yilgarn catchment

(DPIRD, 2018a). Water from this catchment ultimately flows into the Avon River and then the

Swan River.

On a more local scale, the Project is located on the side of a low rise in an area with poorly defined

drainage and with no ephemeral or permanent creeks. Runoff from the catchment will flow away

through a topographic low from the Project area in a south easterly direction through

approximately 800 m of native vegetation and then across cleared paddocks (Figure 7).

Approximately 1,500 m from the Project area it joins a more defined drainage channel proceeding

through paddocks towards Lake Koorkadine - approximately 10 km to the south east of the

Project.

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

GROUNDWATER

Groundwater throughout the region is typically hypersaline with total dissolved solids (TDS)

generally ranging between 20,000 and 60,000 milligrams per litre (mg/L) (Hanking, 2015). The

regional water table at Corinthia was located 45 m below ground level (Broken Hill Metals, 1987).

Flow is generally in a north‐west direction (Hanking, 2015).

Water samples were taken from both Corinthia Pits and the Pilot Pit. Noting that evaporation will

concentrate salts, groundwater quality of samples taken from the Corinthia and Pilot pits shows

that the local groundwater is (Appendix 3):

Hypersaline: salinity of 93,000 - 100,000 mg/L TDS dominated by NaCl;

Acidic: pH of 3.3 - 5.8; and

Elevated in sulphates: 6,100 - 8,300 mg/L.

The results are consistent with the regional deeper groundwater quality, with capture of acid rock

drainage products and concentration via evaporation in the pit water bodies likely to be

increasing salinity. Currently no other mining operations access water from around the Corinthia

Project area. Historically, gold processing is the only beneficial user of hypersaline groundwater

and the gold extraction process is tolerant of a wide range of salinities. .

Thus, the only other potential user of the deeper groundwater resource is another mining

company. Currently, no such activity occurs within 50 km of Corinthia, nor is planned.

Local farm stock watering is based largely on farm dams capturing surface water runoff,

occasionally supplemented by shallow bores that are viable as long as they do not penetrate to

the regional deeper groundwater system. No windmills are located near the Project Area

CLIMATE

The nearest meteorological station recording average daily maximum temperature and average

monthly rainfall is located at Southern Cross Airfield. The climate in the Southern Cross region is

described as dry, warm Mediterranean. Temperatures range dramatically with temperatures

reaching over 45°C in summer months and below 0°C in winter months (BOM, 2018).

The region has predominantly winter rainfall (Figure 8), with limited sporadic rainfall through

the warmer months of September to February. It is not uncommon to experience large rainfall

events in summer months which are generally triggered by cyclonic weather activity in the north

or local thunderstorms. The average annual rainfall is exceeded by the average evaporation rate

of approximately 2,350 millimetres (mm) (BOM, 2018).

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

P a g e | 30

Figure 8: Southern Cross Airfield climate statistics (BOM, 2018).

Botanica Consulting (2015) reviewed the BOM rainfall statistics for the area for the full range of

return intervals and durations. They noted that a 1:100 year 72 hour event equates to a rainfall

depth of 153 mm, whilst a 1:10 year average return interval event equates to 86.9 mm.

FLORA AND FAUNA

FLORA AND VEGETATION

The following studies were undertaken to assess the flora and vegetation in the area surrounding

the Project and have been used to complete the following sections of this Mining Proposal:

Botanica Consulting completed a Level 1 flora and vegetation survey and targeted search

for flora of conservation significance on the 25 June 2015 covering M77/677(Botanica

Consulting, 2015); and

Preston Consulting conducted a high-level desktop assessment including NatureMap,

Protected Matters Search Tool (PMST)) and DPIRD NRinfo database search (DPIRD,

2018a) database searches (Appendix 4).

Vegetation

The Project is located in the Coolgardie 2 (COO2) Southern Cross subregion within Coolgardie

region as classified in the Interim Biogeographic Region for Australia (IBRA). The subregion is

described as having ‘subdued relief, comprising of gently undulating uplands dissected by broad

valleys with band of low greenstone hills’ (Cowan et al. 2001). Vegetation is split between diverse

Eucalyptus woodlands surrounding salt playa-lakes, granite basement outcrop supporting swards

of Borya constricta, with stands of Acacia acuminata and Eucalyptus loxophleba and Mallees

(Eucalyptus leptopoda, E. platycorys and E. scyphocalyx) and scrub-heaths (Allocasuarina

corniculata, Callitris preissii, Melaleuca uncinata and Acacia beauverdiana) (Cowan et al. 2001).

Greater than 40% of the remnant vegetation still exists in the region (NLWRA, 2017).

The DPIRD NRinfo database search identified one vegetation unit across the entire Project

(DPIRD, 2018a) described as Medium woodland; salmon gum, morrel, gimlet & Eucalyptus

sheathiana. Botanica Consulting (2015) described the vegetation community across M77/677 as

low woodland of Eucalyptus melanoxylon/ E. salmonophloia/ E. salubris over open scrub of

Melaleuca pauperiflora subsp. pauperiflora and dwarf scrub of Atriplex stipitata/Atriplex vesicaria.

No Threatened Ecological Communities (TEC) or Priority Ecological Communities (PEC) as listed

under the EPBC Act 1999 or the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 are located within the Corinthia

Project area. Corinthia is not located within or near any Conservation Reserves / Department of

Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) managed lands, proposed DBCA-managed

lands or within any EPA Red Books proposed reserves (1976-1991). The closest nature reserve

is the Lake Koorkoordine Nature Reserve approximately 20 km south east of the Corinthia Project.

The Corinthia Project is not located within any Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) as listed

under the EP Act or a Schedule 1 Area, as described in the Environmental Protection (Clearing of

Native Vegetation) Regulations 2004.

The site has disturbed areas that have been rehabilitated – largely the eastern WRL and the

western WRL. The eastern WRL was noted in 2006 to have been rehabilitated with self-sustaining

vegetation, whilst the western WRL was noted to have rehabilitation at a range of stages (St

Barbara Ltd, 2006). Due to the age of the rehabilitation and the fact that any additional work

would destroy the existing vegetation, St Barbara Mining submitted that the western WRL also be

classed as complete. Photo monitoring and site inspections were used to make these

determinations.

Inspection of the existing WRLs was completed on 3 January 2018 to assist with project planning.

The vegetation on the eastern WRL was noted to be stable, with good cover provided by a

combination of Atriplex, Marianthus and Eucalyptus species as well as annual grasses, moss and a

cryptogamic crust. The western WRL persists in a similar condition to that noted in 2006, with

stable vegetation cover, not as diverse or with as much cover or continuity as on the eastern WRL.

Flora

The desktop assessment identified ten Priority and two Threatened flora species listed under the

Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 within 20 km of the Project, however no records were identified

within or immediately surrounding the Project area. Botanica Consulting identified no

conservation significant flora during field surveys (Botanica Consulting, 2015).

WEEDS

Botanica Consulting (2015) identified two invasive flora species Carrichtera annua (Ward’s

Weed) and Centaurea melitensis (Maltese Cockspur). Neither species is a declared plant under the

Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007 (DPIRD, 2018b).

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

P a g e | 32

Agricultural activities involve the movement of equipment and livestock from place to place,

providing a vector for weed migration. As agricultural activities are separated by a significant

bushland buffer from the Project Area, the threat of agricultural activities introducing weeds into

the Project Area is limited.

FAUNA

Vertebrate Fauna

Desktop studies previously completed were documented by Botanica Consulting (2015). Their

report suggests that the native vegetation around Corinthia has retained its basic habitat value:

“One vegetation community was identified within the survey area; Low woodland of

Eucalyptus melanoxylon/ E. salmonophloia/ E. salubris over open scrub of Melaleuca

pauperiflora subsp. pauperiflora and dwarf scrub of Atriplex stipitata/Atriplex vesicaria.

Based on the Keighery (1994) vegetation health rating scale, this vegetation community was

rated as ‘good’, which depicts vegetation structure significantly altered by very obvious signs

of multiple disturbances (grazing, pastoral land use, introduced species, exploration);

however it still retains its basic structure and has the ability to regenerate naturally.”

Botanica completed a habitat assessment for the conservation significant species identified in the

desktop study (Table 7).

The nearest Malleefowl and Chuditch records are over 15 km to the south of the Project. The

minimal disturbance to native vegetation (10 ha) represents an incremental extension to the

existing disturbed area and a small portion (<0.5%) of the available habitat in the immediate

surrounds, meaning that even if either species were present in the area, they are unlikely to be

significantly impacted by the Project.

The Peregrine Falcon may be a transient visitor potentially utilising some of the area surrounding

the Project as a part of much wider foraging range. Records in the area are sparse and it is

considered unlikely the Peregrine Falcon will be significantly impacted by Project activities.

Subterranean Fauna

Subterranean fauna were not considered to be present due to the geological setting and

hypersaline groundwater.

FERAL ANIMALS

The following feral animals are indicated by desktop studies as likely to occur with the Project

area:

Columba livia (Rock Pigeon, Rock Dove, Domestic Pigeon);

Streptopelia senegalensis (Laughing Turtle-dove, Laughing Dove);

Capra hircus (Goat);

Felius catus (Cat, House Cat, Domestic Cat);

Oryctolagus cuniculus (Rabbit, European Rabbit);

Equus asinus (Donkey, Ass); and

Vulpes vulpes (Red Fox, Fox).

Several of the listed feral animals are already common in the Southern Cross region and as the

Project is small the threat posed by feral animals is limited.

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT

The Shire of Yilgarn covers an area of 30,720km² which is sparsely populated by approximately

3,000 people. The Yilgarn is known by many as the Gateway to the Wheatbelt and the Goldfields.

The name ‘Yilgarn’ is aboriginal for ‘white stone’ or ‘quartz’. Southern Cross is the major town

centre of the Shire of Yilgarn and is located 370km east of Perth along the Great Eastern Highway.

Other town sites in the Shire include Bodallin, Bullfinch, Ghooli, Koolyanobbing, Marvel Loch,

Moorine Rock and Yellowdine. Agricultural production and a continual increase in mining

activities are the main primary industries for the Shire. Mining employees make up an increasing

percentage of the workforce and the sector generates approximately $80 - $90 million worth of

royalties for the state of Western Australia.

EUROPEAN HERITAGE

Database searches revealed there are no known European heritage sites within the Corinthia

Project area.

ABORIGINAL HERITAGE

A desktop review of the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage’s (DLPH) heritage database

identified that there are no registered heritage sites that occur within or in close proximity to the

project (DAA, 2015). An ethnographic field survey (under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972) was

completed for the Project. No areas of heritage significance were identified within the survey area.

6 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Corinthia Project currently includes the following:

Open pit mining at the existing Corinthian Pit (to a depth of 330m RL)

Underground mining at completion of open pit activities

Development of a WRL designed to a capacity of 412,579 CM of waste rock

Construction of access roads linking the various site infrastructures;

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

P a g e | 35

Mine dewatering (water pumped to the Corinthia South Pit located in adjacent tenement);

and

Road haulage of ore from the project site to an offsite processing plant.

The Corinthia Project commenced in October 2015 and was anticipated to be mined (open pit and

underground) for an 18 month period. The total amended disturbance footprint /area is

approximately 15.13 ha for mining activities and 2.73 ha for pipeline route. The 15.13 ha has been

previously approved under Mining Proposal Reg ID: 54772.

The expansion will include extended underground operations and dewatering of Corinthia Pit into

the Pilot Pit.

AREA OF DISTURBANCE TABLE

Table 8 outlines the previously approved and amened total disturbance area for the Project. Note

MINING OPERATIONS

Underground mining will be carried out using standard underground mining equipment including

utilising jumbo drilling for the decline, level and ore development; long hole production drill rigs

for conventional stoping and conventional and tele-remote loaders.

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

P a g e | 37

MINE DESIGN

The portal for underground mining can be seen in Figure 3. The proposed underground

schematics can be seen in Figure 9 and Figure 10. It is anticipated that 1.2 Million tonnes of ore

will be mined at a rate of 240 thousand tpa. 350 000 tonnes of waste will be removed.

WASTE ROCK

Waste material will be stored in the existing pit and underground.

DEWATERING

In order to allow safe underground mining the Corinthia Pit must be dewatered. Currently the pit

holds 262,000 cubic metres of groundwater. This will be transferred by a pipeline along L 77/291

to the Pilot Pit. An agreement is in place with Tianye (the owner of the Pilot Pit) to allow Adaman

to transfer water into the Pit.

The dewatering pipeline will be installed in a V-drain adjacent to an existing access track (Figure

4) All culverts, V drain and spill catchment pits have already been installed by Sons of Gwalia in

2000 as part of a previous Project, however whilst a pipeline was installed no pumping occurred.

It is expected that minor work will be required to re-instate the existing infrastructure which will

have minimal disturbance. Adaman will install a new PE pipe. Regular (every eight hours)

pipeline inspections will be carried out and telemetry installed.

The water quality of Corinthia Pit and the Pilot pit is described in Section 5.5

7 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND

MANAGEMENT

An environmental risk assessment was completed to identify and evaluate risks, determine

measures that will be used to treat risks (using a risk reduction hierarchy) and demonstrate that

residual risks are ‘As Low as Reasonably Practicable’ (ALARP) and consistent with DMIRS

environmental objectives (DMIRS, 2006).

The risk assessment workshop and Environmental Risk Register adopted a systematic approach,

aligned with standard risk assessment and management methodologies outlined in:

AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009: Risk management - Principles and Guidelines (Standard);

Guidelines for Mining Proposals in WA (DMP, 2006); and

Guidance Note – Environmental Risk Assessment for Mining Proposals and Mine Closure

Plans (DMIRS, 2018a).

Risk is defined as the chance of something happening that will have an impact on objectives. The

first step in the risk assessment process was to identify the hazards (defined as anything that will

cause harm and can affect meeting of outcomes and objectives) and impacts associated with the

hazards.

Each hazard was analysed for likelihood and consequence and a risk ranking was developed. The

likelihood and consequences for the hazard are initially considered in the absence of any

particular risk mitigation measures to identify the inherent risk (pre-treatment). Management

controls were considered for each hazard and a new likelihood, consequence and risk ranking

(now the residual risk) was defined.

Management controls were selected so the identified environmental impacts and risks would be

reduced to ALARP. In determining management controls, the following hierarchy of control

principles was adopted:

Elimination of the hazard;

Substitution with a lower risk activity or product;

Engineering solutions to reduce the impact of the hazard; and

Implementation of administrative procedures to control the hazard.

In undertaking the risk analysis component of the overall assessment, the approach focussed on

addressing the ‘credible worst case consequence of the risk and the likelihood of the credible

worst case consequence occurring’.

The approach taken in the Project’s Environmental Risk Register (Table 13) was to quantify the

risk using a combination of its likelihood (Table 10) and consequences (Table 11) to determine

the risk rating (Table 12). The likelihood and consequences are rated for both the inherent risks

(i.e. before the application of risk mitigation measures) and residual risks (i.e. after consideration

of the change in likelihood and/or consequence that the risk mitigation measures).

The definitions used to determine the likelihood of an event occurring are provided in Table 10.

These range from ‘Almost Certain’ to ‘Rare’.

LAND CLEARING

This Proposal will only require minimal clearing (less than 2.73 ha). The majority of this area has

been previously disturbed and is clear of vegetation. The vegetation association within the Project

area is reasonably well represented throughout the region and therefore the proposed clearing

will result in negligible regional impacts on floristic communities and fauna habitats.

To ensure the impacts from land clearing are minimised, management measures will be

incorporated into the Project.

Specific management strategies that will be implemented in relation to land clearing are:

Minimise clearing requirements wherever possible;

Areas to be cleared will be adequately marked to ensure only the required clearing is

undertaken;

To avoid weed spread, machinery and vehicles used to conduct clearing will be inspected

for weeds and cleaned where appropriate prior to commencement of works;

Conduct clearing in a manner that facilitates the re-use of topsoil, subsoil and vegetation

debris for rehabilitation activities;

Following disturbance, cleared areas and stockpiles will be surveyed, documented on the

site plan and reported in the AER; and

Where cleared, exposed areas are presenting signs of wind or water erosion, measures

such as surface water management and dust suppression techniques will be implemented

to reduce impacts. These measures are discussed further in following sections.

WATER

SURFACE WATER

It is not expected that this Proposal will have an impact on surface water flows.

Impacts to vegetation may be caused by leaks or ruptures in the dewatering pipeline. Specific

management strategies that will be implemented in relation to the dewatering pipeline are:

The pipe will placed in a V-drain three metres wide;

All spills and leaks will be channel towards catchment pits (Figure 11);

Pipeline inspections will occur once per shift (every eight hours) and immediately after

turning on the pumps;

Catchment pits will be large enough to contain eight hours of flow from the pipe; and

Telemetry will be installed which will shut the pump off should a leak be detected.

GROUNDWATER

No impacts to groundwater are expected.

FLORA, FAUNA AND ECOSYSTEM

The following are an outline of potential impacts to native flora within the Corinthia Project:

Loss of flora due to clearing of native vegetation; Spread of weeds; Accidental fire; Adverse impacts to adjacent flora due to dust; and Contamination of soil/water with chemicals, hydrocarbons or saline water.

Corinthian will manage these potential impacts to native flora by:

Strictly control all clearing activities ensuring that significant species and vegetation are

avoided where possible;

Clearing will be kept to a minimum and be restricted to areas directly impacted by the

mine and infrastructure;

All ground disturbance will be rehabilitated to best practice standards;

Vehicle access will be restricted to cleared areas only;

Procedures on stripping of topsoil and stockpiling of vegetation will be adhered to;

Strict dust suppression procedures will be adhered to; and

Telemetry and regular inspection of dewatering pipeline.

The proposal to recommence mining activities at Corinthia has the potential to introduce weed

and soil borne diseases to the area. Therefore all machinery that enter and leave the mine site will

be cleaned and free of soil and organic matter. Weed monitoring and eradication programme will

continue to be implemented and all site personnel will be educated on weed identification.

Potential impacts to fauna through the commissioning and operation of this project include:

Localised loss of habitat through vegetation clearing;

Fauna deaths through clearing and road kill from increased traffic;

Fauna deaths due to construction and operation of the mine;

Ecological impacts such as the change in hydrology, contamination of surface water flows

and changes to fire frequencies

Increase in feral animal numbers

Dissection of habitat

Management strategies to minimise the impacts to the local fauna include:

Minimise loss of habitat through the minimisation of land clearing;

Minimise disturbances to surface water drainage;

Restrict clearing to areas that will be directly impacted on through the recommencement

of mining;

Disturbed areas that are no longer required will be rehabilitated to best practice

standards;

Implementation of a feral animal control plan where necessary;

Personnel inducted to report wildlife deaths; and

Driving speeds will be limited in areas of suspected high wildlife activities (haul roads and

access tracks).

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

P a g e | 50

TOPSOIL AND SOIL PROFILES

There will be very minimal disturbances to topsoil and soil profiles. The V-drain and catchment

pits for the dewatering pipeline already exist. No other disturbances are proposed.

DOMESTIC AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE PRODUCTS

All waste from the construction, commissioning and operation of the Corinthia project will be

managed through the below methods;

Controlled waste such as hydrocarbons, oils and chemicals will be collected and disposed

of in accordance with the Environmental Protection (Controlled Waste) Regulations 2004.

Industrial waste and other non-regulated waste will be disposed of off-site at the Southern

Cross Landfill facility

All putrescible waste will be collected in secure bins and disposed of offsite with a licenced

contractor.

A recycling programme will be in place for metals and batteries and will be collected by a

licenced contractor for recycling.

Toilet facilities will be housed in a portable ablutions block. Effluent will be collected and

disposed of, by a licenced contractor when required.

WASTE ROCK AND TAILINGS MANAGEMENT

No tailings will be generated on site.

Waste rock will be stored in the existing pit and underground.

HYDROCARBON MANAGEMENT

It is anticipated that only small amounts of hydrocarbons such as oils, lubricants and fuel will be

stored on site in the workshop. No hydrocarbons will be stored underground. It is anticipated that

the project will use approximately 1000 L of diesel fuel a day and about 6 litres of top up oil and

grease. Servicing of vehicles/machinery and refuelling of vehicles/machinery will be conducted

within a designated, bunded refuelling area at the workshop.

Any minor fuel spills will be treated with a spill kit and shovelled up and placed into 200 litre

drums that will be disposed of at the Southern Cross waste disposal facility. More significant spills

such as those that could occur from broken hydraulic hoses will be scooped up with a loader or

excavator into a tip truck and taken to the waste disposal facility in Southern Cross. Hydrocarbons

will be bought to Kalgoorlie for disposal. All hydrocarbon spills will be recorded internally and

reported, if required, to the appropriate regulators within 24 hours of the spill occurring. Oil and

fuel leaks on equipment will be repaired as soon as possible after discovering the leak.

Lubricants and other contaminants will be stored in 20 L or 200 L containers placed in a steel 4 m

x 2 m x 0.5 m (4,000 Litre) bund tray located within or next to the workshop.

Hydrocarbon management procedures, including incident prevention and management, will also

be outlined in the site induction and any personnel involved in the activities will be adequately

MINING PROPOSAL Corinthia Project

P a g e | 51

trained and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) will be located at storage sites. Specific

management strategies in relation to hydrocarbon storage are presented in Table 5-5.

At closure, these sites will be assessed against soil contamination threshold levels. Should

contamination above threshold levels be found, site remediation measures will be implemented

as detailed in the MCP.

Implementing good hydrocarbon and chemical management practices will minimise

environmental impacts from spills and accidents. It is anticipated that, due to the relatively

localised nature of site activities, impacts from hydrocarbons and chemicals will also be localised.

Potential impacts from hydrocarbons and chemicals are contamination of soil and water from

spills and leaks.

The following management actions will be implemented:

All personnel will be inducted on the appropriate precautions to minimise risk of chemical

spillage and misuse. All employees are to be aware of the spill response procedure;

Flammable and combustible liquids will be stored to requirements of Australian Standard

AS 1940 – 2004;

Equipment will be refuelled on contained pads in designated locations. Tracked vehicles

and stationary plant (gensets etc.) will be refuelled in the field by field service vehicles;

Maintain a hazardous materials register which includes an inventory of all receivables and

dispatches of hydrocarbon and chemical products. The register is to also include details of

supplier, quantities, storage location and MSDS;

Maintain an inventory of explosives and associated products used on site;

Storage facilities will be appropriate to the type of chemical and will, as a minimum, meet

the relevant Australian Standards;

All storage facilities on site are to be recorded in the hazardous materials register;

Regular monitoring of facilities will be carried out on a monthly basis. Records of all

inspections are maintained by the environmental officer;

Auditing will be carried out on an annual basis. Records of all audits are maintained in the

register;

All hydrocarbon containers will be stored in bunded areas compliant with licence

conditions, Regulations, and relevant Standards;

Wherever possible, hydrocarbons and chemicals will be purchased in re-useable or

returnable bulk containers;

Wherever possible, all oils and greases used in plant maintenance and servicing at

workshops will have drip trays located under outlets;

Transfer points to or from bulk containers or permanent refuelling stations will be

provided with a bunded concrete apron with collection of drainage discharging to a triple

oil interceptor tank;

If a spill of hydrocarbons occurs, the spill response procedure is to be followed. The

incident is to be reported as required in the procedure;

When waste oils are collected from servicing of equipment or machinery, they should be

transferred immediately to a waste oil collection system in the relevant area;

Filters should be placed on a rack to drain before disposing; and

Conduct regular housekeeping inspections to determine when containers drip trays

require emptying and to ensure area is kept clean and tidy with no fire hazards.

DANGEROUS GOODS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

A magazine has been established on site and is managed under the Dangerous Goods Safety Act

2004 and Goods Safety Regulations 2007.

ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION AND NOISE

AIR EMISSIONS (DUST)

Dust can be generated from mining and construction activities such as drilling, blasting, removal

of vegetation/topsoil and heavy vehicle haulage. This generation of dust has the potential to

impact on employee health and amenity of the project:

Management strategies that aim to minimise the dust levels at the project site are; and

Restriction of clearing of native vegetation and the associated removal of topsoil/subsoil;

Rehabilitation of cleared areas as soon as practicable:

The use of dust suppression including water carts/water sprays on processing plant

equipment and reticulation of surfaces such as the mined tailings which will sit on the

ROM pad prior to processing;

Ongoing monitoring of dust to ensure levels and quality are below the recommended

environmental and health thresholds; and

Personnel will be required to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)

as per the working situation.

NOISE

The generation of noise can occur through drilling, blasting and vehicle movement. This could

result in the following impacts:

Employee health

Nuisance to neighbours (the nearest neighbours are the Bullfinch townsite 15km north of

the project) and given this distance the impact is considered low.

Altered behaviour of fauna

Management measures to reduce these noise impacts are:

Standard occupational health and safety procedures to manage occupational noise

exposure to all personnel.

Ensure noise levels comply with the requirements outlined in the Environmental

Protection

(Noise) Regulations 1997 and the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994 and Regulations

1995.

Implement noise mitigation measures if these levels do not meet the above requirements.

Personnel are to wear appropriate PPE.

8 SOCIAL IMPACTS

HERITAGE

The Corinthia Project has no recorded European Heritage significance or Aboriginal Heritage

significance. It is unlikely that any cultural material is located within the Project area; however,

should any cultural material be discovered during any stage of the operation, work will cease

immediately and the site(s) recorded, and the DLPH notified.

LAND USE AND COMMUNITY

The Corinthia Project is located within the Shire of Yilgarn and a copy of this mining proposal will

be forwarded to the Chief Executive Officer. The project is surrounded by local farm land and local

farmers will also be made aware of the project recommencement.

Consultation with the local farmers and shire council will continue through the project approval

process and commissioning, operational phases.

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT

The Project is located 20km north of the township of Southern Cross. Exploration and mining in

the area has been occurring since the late 1800’s. Today, mining is an important source of

employment for the region. The re-commissioning of the Corinthia operations will provide local

employment opportunities.

WORKFORCE INDUCTION AND TRAINING

Adaman will conduct an induction and training program which will incorporate all induction and

training policies, procedures and competencies, along with the environmental controls of the site.

9 MINE CLOSURE

Mine closure will occur as previously approved for the Project.

On closure of the Project the dewatering pipeline will be removed and disposed of at a licenced

disposal facility. The V-drain and catchment pits will remain in place to aid with drainage of the

existing road.

Result Definitions

Australian Drinking Water Guidelines recommend that Thermotolerant Coliform, Faecal Enterococci, & E.Coli levels are less than1cfu/100mL. The recommended maximums are taken from "Australian Drinking Water Guidelines", published by NHMRC & ARMC2011.

Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds whichare similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.

Surrogate Spike

This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank sand or water) fortifiedwith analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.

LCS (LaboratoryControl Sample)

A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix spikeis to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferencesexist.

Matrix Spike

This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample selectedshould be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.

Duplicate

This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as forsamples.

Measurement Uncertainty estimates are available for most tests upon request.

Where sampling dates are not provided, Envirolab are not in a position to comment on the validity of the analysis whererecommended technical holding times may have been breached.

When samples are received where certain analytes are outside of recommended technical holding times (THTs), the analysis hasproceeded. Where analytes are on the verge of breaching THTs, every effort will be made to analyse within the THT or as soon aspracticable.

In circumstances where no duplicate and/or sample spike has been reported at 1 in 10 and/or 1 in 20 samples respectively, thesample volume submitted was insufficient in order to satisfy laboratory QA/QC protocols.

Matrix Spikes, LCS and Surrogate recoveries: Generally 70-130% for inorganics/metals; 60-140% for organics (+/-50% surrogates)and 10-140% for labile SVOCs (including labile surrogates), ultra trace organics and speciated phenols is acceptable.

Duplicates: <5xPQL - any RPD is acceptable; >5xPQL - 0-50% RPD is acceptable.

For VOCs in water samples, three vials are required for duplicate or spike analysis.

Spikes for Physical and Aggregate Tests are not applicable.

Filters, swabs, wipes, tubes and badges will not have duplicate data as the whole sample is generally extracted during sampleextraction.

Duplicate sample and matrix spike recoveries may not be reported on smaller jobs, however, were analysed at a frequency to meetor exceed NEPM requirements. All samples are tested in batches of 20. The duplicate sample RPD and matrix spike recoveries forthe batch were within the laboratory acceptance criteria.

Note: Some results have raised pqls. In these cases the sample's high TDS required the sample to be diluted prior to analysis.

1 For NatureMap's purposes, species flagged as endemic are those whose records are wholely contained within the search area. Note that only those records complying with the search criterion are included in the

calculation. For example, if you limit records to those from a specific datasource, only records from that datasource are used to determine if a species is restricted to the query area.

- non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites

- migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers

- some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed

Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available datasupports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in makinga referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.

For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remotesensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and pointlocation data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.

- seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent

Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

Threatened, migratory and marine species distributions have been derived through a variety of methods. Where distributions are well known and iftime permits, maps are derived using either thematic spatial data (i.e. vegetation, soils, geology, elevation, aspect, terrain, etc) together with pointlocations and described habitat; or environmental modelling (MAXENT or BIOCLIM habitat modelling) using point locations and environmental datalayers.

The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report.Caveat

This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the EnvironmentProtection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World and National Heritage properties, Wetlands of Internationaland National Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatenedecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at variousresolutions.

- threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants

- some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area

The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:

Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped:

Where very little information is available for species or large number of maps are required in a short time-frame, maps are derived either from 0.04or 0.02 decimal degree cells; by an automated process using polygon capture techniques (static two kilometre grid cells, alpha-hull and convex hull);or captured manually or by using topographic features (national park boundaries, islands, etc). In the early stages of the distribution mappingprocess (1999-early 2000s) distributions were defined by degree blocks, 100K or 250K map sheets to rapidly create distribution maps. More reliabledistribution mapping methods are used to update these distributions as time permits.
