Rehabilitation

The Victorian Government holds a substantial rehabilitation bond, minimum of $10,000, over every exploration licence. Exploration activities which disturb the surface of the ground, apart from very low impact activities such as mapping or soil sampling, require separate applications and approvals from Earth Resources Regulation which includes how the land will be rehabilitated.

Strict conditions are applied to all exploration approvals and full rehabilitation is an important requirement for all surface disturbing exploration activities. Aspart of their assessment for all surface disturbing exploration activities, there habilitation bond for the exploration licence is assessed and where necessary adjusted to ensure that the Government holds the full cost of rehabilitation for each application should the company be unable to complete the works. The Government must determine that full rehabilitation has been completed before there habilitation bond is released.

SXG has more than $100,000 of rehabilitation bonds lodged with the Victorian Government to ensure that full and proper rehabilitation of our exploration projects is guaranteed to occur.

ERR require exploration companies to rehabilitate exploration sites in accordance with their Guidelines for environmental management in exploration and mining. Progressive rehabilitation should be undertaken to minimise the total area of disturbance at any one time and should be completed in accordance with the approved work plan, licence conditions and any other requirements as directed by ERR.

Environmental Monitoring and Reporting

Southern Cross Gold (SXG) works hard to ensure the environment around our exploration sites is maintained at the highest level. We monitor a range of environmental aspects to ensure our exploration activities are managed within prescribed guidelines. In response to community feedback, we are also initiating rainwater tank monitoring program to ensure we understand existing conditions.

Noise

Noise monitoring is conducted on a regular basis using specialised equipment which monitoring and analyses noise data at locations near close neighbouring properties. Noise levels must comply with the thresholds specified by the EPA and associated standards. Noise monitoring comprises a combination of real time (unattended) monitoring and attended noise surveys.

RESULTS

Air Quality

We regularly sample air quality at key locations adjacent to our exploration activities. The program is designed to determine the effectiveness of control measures and ensures we are compliant with EPA guidelines and to collect background data.

Water

Water monitoring is conducted to identify and assess potential impacts to surface or groundwater near SXG’s exploration activities. SXG undertakes water sampling at designated monitoring locations, including dams, creeks, groundwater bores and drains near where SXG are exploring and these are conducted at regular occurrences or after rainfall events.

SXG are required to report any elevated dust, noise or groundwater monitoring results to the EPA & ERR and must address the causes of any environmental impacts. To date, SXG has not had any reportable environmental events.

SXG is required to submit an Annual Report to ERR which includes:

  • A report about the environmental management ofexploration activities including the results of any environmental audits conducted
  • Quantity, area and type of native vegetation removed
  • Details of current progressive rehabilitation activities
  • A rehabilitation report detailing completed rehabilitation activities over the year.

Rainwater Tank Testing

In February 2024 Southern Cross Gold distributed letters to residences within 2km of our Sunday Creek Project inviting participation in a rainwater tank testing program. The program is aimed towards better understanding the existing water quality in rain watertanks which many residents in the area use.  All sample results will be provided to the landowner.
