PROJECTVIABILITY

Golder Associates approaches the pre-feasibility stage of a mining

project from both a regulatory and an economic perspective. By

combining mining and environmental considerations, our mining

team is able to effectively understand options for the development

of the mineral resource.

Golder Associates integrated team of engineers and scientists is

able to provide complete pre-feasibility support. At an early stage.

Golder Associates efficiently addresses the balance between

environmental and engineering issues associated with the

development of a mining project.

We advocate a holistic approach to the development of new mining projects. Siting, waste management, mining methods, and water

resource issues are addressed in conjunction with environmental

impact assessment and closure planning.

The overall effect of this approach is a mining operation which

may be more readily permitted, due to the completeness of the

package, be more efficiently mined, due to the integration of all

operating parameters, be more cost effective, due to the advance

planning undertaken at the start of the mine life, and have limited

future closing liabilities.

The goal of the Golder Associates is to prepare a cost-effective

approach to evaluating, permitting, developing, and closing a mine.

Mine Operations Using a Systems Approach to operations, Golder Associates is ableto integrate many of the aspects of a mine into a single,

comprehensive plan. During development, our mining

professionals consider the inter-relations of ore location, water

resources, facility location, infrastructure, waste management, and

closure. During operations, the team considers issues related to

mine sequencing, water management, waste management,

environmental compliance, and cost-effectiveness. By considering

the relationships between these factors, Golder Associates can

assist clients in realizing efficiencies in mine operations.

The Systems Approach addresses current needs and contributes to

the reduction of future liabilities while potentially maximizing orerecovery.

Closure and Reclamation For issues related to closure and reclamation, mines are typicallyviewed as in one of two categories, these being historic facilitiesand new facilities.

With historic facilities, closure and reclamation planning wastypically not undertaken prior to mine development. In these

cases, Golder Associates engages in a risk-based approach, withthe aim to manage liability and reduce closure costs.

For more recently-developed mines, Golder Associatesincorporates closure and reclamation plans as part of theEnvironmental Impact Assessment (EIA) undertaken in the pre-feasibility and planning stages of mine development. This

proactive approach allows mine operators to deal withenvironmental issues before they become liabilities and to developmethods to minimize reclamation costs during the operating life of the mine.

Golder Associates is recognized internationally in the fields of reclamation and closure planning and design for closure. Our staff is highly experienced in developing strategies for concurrentimplementation during operations, with the objectives of minimizing impacts during mining, as well as minimizing risks andcosts associated with closure. Golder Associates approach toreclamation and closure planning is based upon current

technologies to achieve physical, chemical, and biological stabilitywithin each mine component, during operations, and in the longer term. Our overall aim is to restore pre-mining land use potentialand capability, or an acceptable alternative. Golder Associates isable to offer the client highly skilled staff with environmentalengineering, biotechnology, ecological, and agronomic expertise.Our Company has an exceptional track record in achieving thehighest mine reclamation and closure standards.

The ultimate goal of reclamation is to achieve an end land use of

equivalent productivity to the pre-disturbance conditions.Golder Associates has the expertise to recommend an appropriateend land use or uses and to quantify productivity requirements

based on the chosen end land use. Our professionals can thendetermine the remediation criteria necessary to achieve the

productivity requirements, and select and design the proceduresnecessary to meet the remediation criteria.

Water SupplyServices

Ensuring a viable water supply is, in many cases, the most critical

issue facing mine operators/planners. The challenge lies in

assessing the total water resources, both surface water and

groundwater, to ensure development of an optimum supply.

Constraints to such development may be imposed by the limited

supplies available or from competing requirements.

Golder Associates can draw on extensive hydrologic, civil

engineering, and hydrogeological expertise to evaluate and

develop wellfields and surface water reservoirs. For example, the

impacts associated with water supply sources are evaluated by our

environmental scientists and engineers who

may be faced with such problems as assessing

the impact on aquatic habitat of reduced

baseflow or the potential for erosion associated

with reduced lake levels. The consideration of

these impacts leads to an improved water

management strategy to minimize the risk of

supply disruption and support the development

of a proactive environmental program.

Golder Associates completed field investigations and prepared preliminary design drawings for the Maggie Creek Dam and Reservoir, constructed adjacent to Newmont Gold Companys Gold Quarry pit facilities,Carlin, Nevada.

Our professionals have worked on developing water resources in a

variety of environments including arid climates, fractured

crystalline geologic terrain, karstic regions, and areas comprised of

sedimentary deposits. Using geophysical methods, satellite

imagery, and other indirect techniques, we are able to efficiently

Water DiversionStructures

Golder Associates provides designs for water diversion and control

features for new and existing mine projects, beginning with pre-

feasibility studies, through site investigations, final design, and

construction. Our mining team also conducts environment site

investigations and supports projects with impact assessments and

mitigation plans.

Mine water control is often a primary factor in optimizing the

siting of the major project features including the water supply,

waste dumps, and tailings disposal facilities. In some cases, the

feasibility of the entire project can turn on the cost and/or technical

feasibility of a river diversion if the pit is within a river channel.

More frequently, the work involves design of simple freshwater

diversion ditches and channels around project features. Tailingsimpoundment water control is critical in wet climates to prevent

accumulation of excess pond water. In dry climates, water storage

is critical to a dependable water supply for a mine or mill. This

requires design of dams, ditches, and other water control systems.

For closure of existing sites with ARD,

Golder Associates has designed elaborate

water control systems using multiple dams andreservoirs, underground workings for storage

and conveyance, caps and covers, piping

systems with pumps and backup power

supplies, concrete channels with stilling

basins, and other features which serve to divert freshwater around

sources of potential contamination, and to collect potentially

contaminated flows for treatment. Where flows are seasonal,

storage is provided to produce a more uniform flow to the water

treatment facilities. We provide complete design and construction

management services for water diversion from complex analyses to

design, cost estimating, CQA, and related final design services .

Planning

The development of a comprehensive and effective environmentalmanagement plan assists in achieving regulatory compliance andminimizes future liability; it may also enhance profitabilitythrough loss control, optimization of operations, and minimizationof remediation and long-term site maintenance requirements. Anaccurate site baseline, as obtained through a biophysical andenvironmental impact assessment, provides realistic criteria for theevaluation of site management methods and determination of theeffectiveness of site remediation and reclamation methods.

In addition, the pre-development environmental planning processcan be used as the basis for the operational environmentalmanagement plan. Priorities for environmental management willhave been identified and mitigative measures developed. Impactsidentified after the mine becomes operational can be comparedwith pre-development predictions and baseline data, anddifferences can be used in modifying design criteria and wastehandling practices, or in identifying the influence of environmentalfluctuations.

The pre-development planning process requires expertise from awide range of fields, as a variety of different potentialenvironmental impacts must be assessed, and mitigation and

remediation measures must then be designed. Golder Associates provides a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in a variety of biological sciences, environmental management, and engineering.Field investigations and computer modelling are utilized todocument existing environments and to provide quantitative

predictions of development-related changes. This enables anevaluation of their significance. The data are then incorporatedinto project planning decisions to avoid, where possible, projectimpacts. Where impacts are unavoidable, practical and cost-

Golder Associates recognizes that, when planning for resource use

and project development, it is imperative to have a thorough

understanding of existing biological and physical conditions.

While the gathering of this information is often driven by

regulatory agencies, additional prompting is coming from various

public groups as society becomes increasingly aware and sensitiveto understanding and protecting our ecosystems. Biophysical data

are incorporated into project planning decisions to predict and

subsequently avoid, where possible, project impacts. Where

impacts are unavoidable, pragmatic and cost-effective mitigation

measures can be developed based on the information gathered.

Golder Associates provides comprehensive services for evaluating

biological and biophysical issues, and assembling environmental

protection measures for project planning and development.

Specifically, these skills include the fields of terrestrial

Environmental ImpactAssessment (EIA)

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) are becoming an

increasingly important part of the project approval process in

todays complex regulatory/financial environment. As well as

being a report which is prepared in application for

regulatory/financial approval, an EIA is an integral part of project

planning. Successful mining projects balance economic objectiveswith those of the social and physical environment so that the mine

is perceived to be a good corporate citizen. Golder Associates

understands the importance of these factors and has developed an

EIA process that facilitates project designs with predictable

schedules and costs, minimized approval conditions, long-term

positive relationships with stakeholders and regulators, and

minimized environmental and social liabilities.

Initiated at the project evolution stage, the EIA approach

advocated by Golder Associates is a balanced and interactive

process that involves continuous communication between the

project proponent, local communities, regulators, stakeholders, and

technical project teams. This ongoing dialogue ensures that

important issues are identified and documented early, are revisited

throughout the assessment, and are used to focus the baseline

environmental studies and impact analyses. Explicit decision

criteria are employed to ensure the data collection, quantitativeimpact analysis, and mitigation designs respond to the projects

primary issues and concerns. Issues which cannot be resolved are

subjected to further study and quantitative impact analysis.

The interaction of the environmental and engineering design teams

ensures that solutions are developed to resolve the issues.

Utilizing current technology (e.g. Geographic Information System

and Remote Sensing) and quantitative tools (e.g. Risk-Based

Assessment and Environmental Modeling), Golder Associates has

developed innovative cost-effective solutions for site selection

studies and evaluation of mining processing and waste

Biophysical and SoilSurveys

Biophysical investigations integrate the terrain, soil and vegetation

sciences in the description and analysis of landscapes for

environmental impact assessment and reclamation planning

purposes. Golder Associates multidisciplinary approach to

biophysical studies allows us to assess each of the main disciplines

separately and collectively relative to a given environmental

setting and development.

An ecological and land classification

(ELC) approach is used to identify

biophysical map units with a

characteristic assemblage of terrain,

soil, and vegetation conditions at a

variety of scales. Description of map

units may be used, in conjunction

with GIS technology, in

environmental issue scoping,

environmental impact assessment (EIA), environmental protection

planning (EPP), reclamation planning and environmental design.

Wildlife habitat assessments often utilise ELC map units as the basis for quantifying habitat quality and habitat use in both a local

and regional (including cumulative impacts) setting.

Soil surveys may be part of a biophysical inventory or a specific

Wildlife Investigations Golder Associates Ltd. has extensive experience in wildlifeassessment. This expertise is used during initial planning and pre-

feasibility stages of development to conduct fatal flaw analyses,

baseline studies, environmental impact assessments and

cumulative effects assessments. These assessments include

recommended mitigation measures to minimise potential impactson wildlife. Data acquired during such studies also form the basis

for wildlife effects closure, to gauge the efficacy of mitigation

measures and as necessary to modify those measures.

Our biologists often work with groups of stakeholders, including

regulators and aboriginal people, to help set guidelines for wildlife

studies during all stages of mine development. Frequently, the

main concern is possible loss of wildlife habitat. We therefore link

closely to vegetation studies to quantify the importance of

vegetation as wildlife habitat. We employ Habitat Evaluation

Procedures (HEP) modelling, which links wildlife values to

vegetation types using a GIS format. Other capabilities include

wildlife inventories, wildlife distribution and abundance from

ground and aerial surveys, movement studies using radio collars,

behavioural observations and the study of food habits. Faunal

expertise includes ungulates, carnivores, bats, small mammals,

waterfowl, raptors and other birds. Geographical experienceincludes arctic, temperate and tropical regions.

Service DescriptionMNG%FISH

Fisheries Issues related to water quality and fisheries are key concernsthroughout the life of a mine from exploration to closure. Baselinedata collection and impact analysis in these areas is a criticalcomponent in support of permit and licence applications. Duringmine operation and closure, monitoring of the quality of dischargeand runoff waters, as well as health and abundance of fish and

benthic invertebrates present in receiving waters, are frequentlyrequirements for permit maintenance.

Golder Associates services to mines include environmental impactassessments (EIAs), ongoing evaluation of water quality issues,design of operational monitoring programs, compliance monitoringof fisheries resources and fish habitat, and design and maintenanceof environmental protection plans. A practical, cost-effectiveapproach, which includes regulatory compliance and anunderstanding of ecological sensitivities, is stressed.

Biological studies focus on the potential for disturbance or alterations to aquatic habitats during mine advancement. Fieldinvestigations are used to evaluate habitat characteristics. If habitat losses occur as a result of mine development, mitigationmeasures can be developed to compensate for the shortfall.Golder Associates fisheries services include monitoring for increases in tissue metal burdens, taste alteration in fish flesh, and

population decline due to unrestrained angling. These can beuseful tools for the identification of key issues, which leads to

project-specific, cost-effective development of overall aquaticmonitoring programs.

Services relating to surface water quality include the use of mathematical models to predict changes in water quality due tomine development. The corresponding effect on aquatic habitatand aquatic animals can also be predicted. Impacts on receiving

water bodies from a licensed mine discharge(s) or from minedrainage can be assessed. Golder Associates also has thecapabilities for the simulation and design of functioning artificiallakes (wetlands) as a reclamation option.

Air and NoiseQuality Monitoring

Air quality can be affected by process and smelting plant

emissions, fugitive emissions, dust, and other particulates. Golder

Associates offers services to collect data on existing or potential

air quality, identify sources of emission and aid in design and

monitoring of mitigative measures.

To determine the effects of gaseous emissions

on air quality, meteorological and

climatological information is collected to

characterize ambient air. This allows

determination of where emissions will be

carried and in what concentrations.

If the emissions are from a stack, plume

dispersion modelling can be carried out to

identify any potential significant impacts. The

chemical properties of emission gases are

identified and compared to existing standards.

If concentrations of noxious gases exceed regulatory standards,

stack height, stack position, design, and process considerations can

be modified to meet standards. At the design stage potential

impacts can then be mitigated before problems occur.

Golder Associates can aid in the conceptual engineering aspects of

design and advise on monitoring programs when a system is in

place.

For fugitive emissions, approaches including modelling,

monitoring, and project review can be used. Conceptual design

solutions and monitoring programs can be developed and initiated.

Dust in the ambient air can be measured and used as a baseline

from which to compare dust levels during mining activity.

Sampling techniques vary from simple dustfall containers to a

high-volume sampling. If a problem is evident, the dust sources

are examined and dust suppression alternatives recommended.

Air and NoiseQuality Monitoring

Golder Associates uses the same basic procedure for noise studies.

Noise levels are sampled and problems identified. Problem noise

sources and recipients of the problem noise are studied and

mitigative procedures and monitoring proposed. Data is collected

by means of noise meters, noise source inventories, and interviews

with those who may be affected. Our work typically concentrateson ambient noise issues, usually from the operating plant property

line to the affected residences.

Socio-Economic ImpactAssessment/Public

Consultation

Golder Associates provides comprehensive services in public

involvement and socio-economic impact assessment (SEIA).

Public involvement services range from the design and

implementation of public involvement programs to obtain

approvals for new or expanded projects, to renew

regulatory approvals, and to address community issueswhich arise during project facility operations and

decommissioning. SEIA services are developed to

meet regulatory requirements for new or modified

projects. In particular, the services identify benefits

and costs resulting from project development,

operations, and decommissioning and recommend how

the associated impacts can be best managed.

Golder Associates staff work with industry, government, andenvironmental/community organizations involved with

environmental planning and management and resource

development. As a result, we are able to apply an integrated range

of experiences to the challenges faced by our clients. Members of

our staff are also trained mediators.

For each project, Golder Associates develops a decision making

process which highlights key objectives, stakeholders to be

involved, and environmental, community and regulatory needs

unique to the project. Subsequent tasks are defined to verify

information used in the process and to develop responses to

address stakeholder issues.

Socio-economic assessments are based on project-related changes

to, or demands upon, land use, regional labour force, and regional

and local populations. Assessments determine the implications of

these project-related demands upon surrounding communities andeconomies and recommend how they can be effectively addressed.

Throughout our assignments, we work closely with clients

throughout both the development and implementation of the

programs and incorporate input from clients in addressing

stakeholder issues.

Cultural ResourceManagement

Golder Associates conducted anexcavation of a tipi ring site at the PrairieCoals Poplar River site in Saskatchewan.

Golder Associates has an in-house staff of archaeologists, able to

conduct feasibility studies and overview assessments of cultural

resources prior to the development of new mines and expansion of

existing mines. Our archaeologists utilize data from background

research, field reconnaissance, topographic maps, and satellite data

aerial photograph analysis to delineate archaeological sensitivity.By completing these studies well in advance of development,

information can be used in the project design phase to avoid costly

delays to operation.

Impact assessment studies seek to identify and assess cultural

resources on a property. This can include prehistoric and historic

period archaeological sites, standing structures, and trails. In many

jurisdictions, these resources are protected by law, and a permit to

proceed with development will be contingent

upon getting an archaeological clearance.

Mitigation, consisting of site mapping,

excavation, avoidance, or other procedures,

is sometimes necessary.

Cultural resources problems also arise at the

decommissioning phase. With the

burgeoning interest in our heritage, it is becoming difficult in some jurisdictions to

decommission mines. This is because the

structures themselves, due to their age, have attained historical

value which may warrant regulatory review and possibly

preservation.

Archaeology has a very broad public appeal. Interpretive displays

for open houses, local museums, and mine offices have proved to

be of great interest to the public and have enhanced the publics

awareness and respect for mining companies.

Cultural resources management is a necessary component of many

mining projects, and Golder Associates offers a very pragmatic

and comprehensive approach.

EnvironmentalManagement

As corporate responsibility for environmental management

increases, companies are faced with the need to incorporate these

issues into their strategic plans. Golder Associates provides a

range of environmental management services that can help to

achieve cost-effective, proactive environmental management,

achieving regulatory compliance and a positive environmental

image in the community. Environmental management should be

responsive to community needs, and should promote

understanding, participation, and commitment at all levels of the

company.

Mining companies require environmental management plans or

systems for a number of reasons. There is a need to be able to plan

over a reasonable time frame for costs associated with remedial

measures or environmental improvements. In addition, an

effective environmental system can save money and allow a

planned response to environmental requirements while minimizing

the environmental liability of a corporation and its officers.

Should an environmental problem occur, these plans will serve to

demonstrate due-diligence on the part of the company.Development and implementation of an environmental plan

demonstrate to financial and regulatory agencies of environmental

control and awareness.

Environmental management plans and systems have the potential

to prevent environmental liabilities from impacting the value of a

company. Long-term planning to achieve cost-effective

decommissioning or close-out of an operation can be achieved

through environmental planning.

Environmental Audits Golder Associates offers the mining industry expertise andexperience in the full range of environmental audits and

assessments. The purpose of an audit can range from

loss/emissions control, to liability considerations in acquisitions

and divestitures, to regulatory compliance. Audits can also be

used to identify environmental liabilities created by historic mining

activities.

The information gathered in an audit may be applied in an

assessment of risk to worker, public, or environmental health. An

audit can also be performed on company policy, management

structure, and decision-making processes as they apply to

management of waste, tailings, emissions to air and water, or other

potential environmental impacts.

Our extensive auditing experience in a wide range of industrial

settings provides us with a solid base of auditing tools which can

be appropriately applied and specifically tailored to meet the needs

of the mining industry. Golder Associates auditing experience

Annual EnvironmentalReviews

An annual review of the environmental management system

considers the manner in which it is being implemented and the

effectiveness of the procedures outlined in the plan. It can be an

effective means of ensuring environmental compliance, and a

powerful tool for controlling environmental costs, preventing

future environmental liabilities and difficulties with site

remediation.

The review should address the nature and quantity

of wastes and emissions, and the effectiveness of

waste management procedures. The need for

optimization of specific processes, operations, or

waste handling techniques can be identified. The

potential for additional unforeseen environmental

impacts from the site can be determined.

Aspects of environmental management which can be included as

part of the annual review include:

identification of changes in processes or materials handlingsince the previous review; changes which might createadditional environmental impacts;

annual variation in environmental impacts of miningoperations such as drainage patterns, precipitation, wildlifemigration patterns;

review and assessment of annual monitoring data; and

potential for site erosion/adequacy of erosion control

Mine Waste Management

Risk assessment can be an effective tool in minimizing potential cost ramifications associated with waste disposalliabilities. The risk can be in terms of engineering performanceor in terms of ecological impact. In either case, risk assessment can be the tool to evaluate potential costs so thatrisk management can proceed on a rational basis.

The most economic closure plan begins with a rational designof the facility during feasibility level work. If the facility isalready operating, an evaluation of the technical issues canfocus the closure planning so that costs are minimized.

Risk assessment can also be used to ensure that long term,costly monitoring plans meet the minimum needs to measureengineering performance and environmental impact of theclosed waste facility.
