76、ns.At the beginning of any mining project,we complete a full Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA).EIAs are comprehensive documents that include baseline studies that assess the current state of the environment at the proposed mine site,identify the potential effects of our planned activities and out

77、line steps to minimize any identified risks.EIAs require extensive consultation with nearby communities,as well as considerable input from technical and environmental experts.Exploration drilling at the Anicuns Project,BrazilThe EIA for the Stratoni,Olympias and Skouries projects took more than five

78、 years toprepareand be reviewed and approved by the Greek government.Flowers at the Olympias Nursery,GreeceMONITORINGIn line with international best practices,Eldorado regularly monitors air,soil and water quality,as well as noise levels and energy use.This not only identifies that we are operating

79、within regulations but also provides us with a benchmark upon which we can implement programs to further minimize our use of water,energy and chemicals.We use best available technologies to further ensure environmental protection.Our aim,wherever we operate,is to reduce or,where possible,eliminate o

82、ing our stakeholders with third-party information they can trust.To further promote transparency,we are currently developing an online database where all of the environmental data from Stratoni,Skouries and Olympias will be publicly available in 2015.Water sampling at Kilada,Turkey20 Eldorado gold C

84、e ore.Eldorado has an excellent track record of effective cyanide management.At our sites that use cyanide,we take protective measures to ensure the safety of our people and the environment.These measures include:Providing employees with extensive training in safe-handling procedures Providing appro

85、priate personal protective equipment and making its use mandatory in all areas where cyanide is present Designing cyanide handling systems to minimize contact as much aspossible In some locations,covering ponds containing cyanide with plastic balls todeter birds Installing air quality sensors in and

86、 near locations using cyanideWhile cyanide breaks down naturally through various physiochemical and biological processes,industry best practice now includes detoxifying cyanide after the gold has been extracted and before the cyanide is discharged into tailings facilities.Eldorado uses the INCO prog

87、ress one ofthe most common and proven technologies for cyanide destruction at its Tanjianshan,Jinfeng and White Mountain mines in China.The Cyanide Code,developed by the International Cyanide Management Institute,outlines best practices for handling cyanide from production to disposal.In 2012,Eldora

88、do applied for certification for all our mines where cyanide is used.In 2013,Kilada was successfully audited and certified as compliant.Our Jinfeng mine was audited in late 2014 and received certification in early 2015,which makes it the first gold mine in China to achieve full compliance.Tanjiansha

89、n and White Mountain are working to meet Code requirements at the site level by mid-2015.By becoming Code signatories,we aim to ensure that all our operations are following global best practice in cyanide use.For more information regarding the Cyanide Code,please visit:www.cyanidecode.org.Employees

91、 varies by site,so we have different methods in place to adapt to the needs of each region.For instance,at our operations that have limited water access,we have implemented extensive water conservation and recycling programs.Rainwater runoff from our site buildings is collected,treated and used as p

111、las gold,and our greek joint venture partner.The 15 ha nursery area is about 2 km from the Olympias mine in an area that was once a pyrite dumping site.The nursery uses modern agricultural technology to grow approximately 500,000 native trees,shrubs,grasses and other plants each year in a 4,000 m2 g

112、reenhouse and on 500 m2 seedbeds.Plants are watered using excess water from the Hellas Gold mines.The plant material is collected locally and the nursery replicates conditions similar to where many of the plants will ultimately be placed:in rehabilitated and landscaped areas at Hellas gold and partn

113、er project sites,including the old Olympias tailings facility.Now one of Greeces largest plant nurseries,the nursery has approximately 10 full-time employees,and hires additional seasonal workers as needed.“We started off with our parent companies as our main customers,but have managed to become a s

114、upplier to some of greeces larger nurseries,”says co-founder of the project and current production manager,Apostolos Noutsios.“until recently,they were bringing most of their stock in from abroad,primarily from Italy.That forced us to grow our business,to add new species and to produce increasingly

115、larger quantities.”unlike most nurseries,Greek Nurseries prefers to grow plants through seed propagation rather than other methods.“Eighty percent of our production comes from seeds,”says Lina kontou,the nurserys agricultural production consultant,who has been involved with this project since the nu

116、rsery was first founded.“This is exceptionally rare by Greek and international standards because its difficult and time-consuming to collect,clean,store and handle seeds properly to increase their germination rate.However,it generates much healthier plants.When a plant is grafted,the resulting plant

117、 is the same age as the root stock.Seeds produce new plants.”Adds Apostolos Noutsios:“Before these plants are sent to their ultimate planting sites,we toughen them up:leaving them without fertilizer and letting them experience some stress so theyre ready for the imperfect growing conditions found in

118、 nature.Thats the most important thing our nursery offers.It is difficult to find the large quantities of plants needed that have been trained specifically for rehabilitation on the open market.”CASE STudY Eldorado gold Corporate Sustainability Report 2014 2728 Eldorado gold Corporate Sustainability
