Future-Forward Commitment to Responsible Tailings Management

Belo Sun is laying the groundwork for the Volta Grande Project Tailings Management Facility, where the highest standards of safety and responsibility will be our guideposts.

Proposed Tailings Management Standards:

  • Will comply with all Brazilian standards, aligning with the International Commission on Large Dams, the Canadian Dam Association, and the Mining Association of Canada.
  • An Independent Tailings Review Board will oversee the design and construction, ensuring adherence to industry best practices and timely reporting to senior management and the Board of Directors.

Planned Maintenance and Monitoring:

  • Regular inspections, instrumentation monitoring, and data analysis will be conducted.
  • A comprehensive tailings scorecard will be implemented to maintain optimal management indicators.
  • Annual inspections by the engineer of record, with independent expert reviews every three years.

Safety Assurance:

  • The facility will be engineered to withstand significant storm and seismic events.
  • Detailed emergency response and preparedness plans will be developed, including community-based emergency simulation training in collaboration with local authorities.

Strategic Closure Planning:

  • Comprehensive plans for minimizing impounded water will be in place to enhance long-term safety and land-use value.
  • The facility is designed for closure readiness at the end of mine life, ensuring enduring safety and compliance with all laws and regulations.

We’re planning for the safety, well-being, and prosperity of communities, the environment, and generations to come.
