Gold Fields spent a total of US $16 million on water management and projects (including ARD management) during 2016. In addition, Gold Fields has implemented a number of shared value water projects at Cerro Corona. These involve building and maintaining potable water systems and remediation of historical environmental legacies (not caused by Gold Fields) that are contaminating a local stream. During 2016, Cerro Corona invested over US$3.1 million in developing and upgrading water systems for nearby communities.The tailings and waste rock facilities at Cerro Corona were specially designed to mitigate the risks of ARD. Updates to Cerro Corona’s geochemical and hydrogeological models will be completed during 2017 and will serve as input to the mine’s post-closure water management plan.

Project Results

Updates to Cerro Corona’s geochemical and hydrogeological models will be completed during 2017 and will serve as input to the mine’s post-closure water management plan.
