Stream flow (Guadalquivir Basin Reservoir)
Precipitation (expected 150 l/m^2 for 2015)
Wind speed & direction (N,E,W, Avg 20 km/hr)
Surface/ground water (Guadalquivir & Tinto River)
Air quality (PM10 near industrial area)
Soil (erosion & desertification)
Noise and light (duration, occurrences,
sensitivity)
Wildlife (SPC -Special area of
conservation; SPA -Special protected area for birds)

Mine Water Management System
4 Water treatment plants (Mine Water treatment plant, Water purification plant, Sewage Treatment plant, Emergency water treatment plant/storage pound)
Water balanced for inflow and outflow of each streams
Objectives and corresponding measures are established for both Surface and ground water management
Mine underground + Mill & process plant + TMF + Mine surface + Treatment Pant

Tailing Management• Paste backfill + landscaped cover system (HDPE)• High Density Polyethylene lining system – durability, chemical resistance• Great seepage prevention• High maintenance and operating cost (conveyor system)
Tailings cycloned
WesTech Deep bed Paste Thickener
Disposal Area 200m^2High Density Polyethylene lining system
Backfill treatment Plant (97% tailings + 3% Portland cement)

REPORT & AUDIT
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
(ERP)
• Health, Safety, Environment & community (HSEC) oversees risks and report to the board • Guidelines and examples of managerial positions provided in report
• Follow International Standardization for Organization 14000• Detailed plan will include specific environmental goals, effect, impacts, and operational procedures
• Audit will be conducted by contracted Spanish ventures that provide audit programs• List of annual performance reports are included in the Feasibility report
• will be developed during construction face of the project• Objectives of the plan will include mine rescue, hazardous material on mine site, type of emergencies and corresponding response

CULTURAL construction & expansion cultural space archaeological control & monitor community member engagement (especially woman and youth)
LABOR & WORKING CONDITION• prioritized indigenous people for jobs• Equal opportunity employment • insurance and benefits of employee• working condition follow EU Guidelines
PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURES• support local infrastructures construction and maintenance• construction of new road for easy access to mine site • provision research facility for new energy options
ECONOMIC & LIVELIHOODS• employment community members• vocational training center• provision of agricultural
HEALTH & WELLBEINGS• blasting & drilling mitigation • noise & light mitigation plan• dust generation monitoring• provision safe drinking water
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURES• provision health & education infrastructures• support local scholarships • expanding schools and hospitals

SOCIAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING
ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING
• regulatory agency will verify Community development plan
• external stakeholders’ issues such as the waste management plan will be closely monitored to ensure within permitted levels
• internal stakeholders’ general health and safety will be monitored and inspected
• physical stability of all structures especially the TMF will be monitored to ensure erosion control, soil stabilization, sediment control
• biodiversity will be monitored to ensure wellbeing of terrestrial species
• chemical stability will be monitored: air, water, dust
