1. In Focus: Land Reclamation

We are committed to rehabilitate old deposit areas of previous operators (before we acquired the Kassandra Mines) and currently we reclaim areas in Stratoni and Olympias. The Olympias rehabilitation project is one of the largest environmental rehabilitation projects in Greece, through which we remove old tailings, waste rock and polluted soil, restore the original relief, improve soil health and revegetate areas.

• Removed old waste rock at 80% of the area • Restored original terrain height and slope • Planted vegetation • Used the location for the new Olympias paste plant, which prevents additional land disturbance.

• Removed all contaminated soil • Rehabilitated and planted vegetation at 70% of the area • Rehabilitate and plant vegetation in remaining 30% by 2021.

• Removed contaminated soil and old tailings • Removed and reprocessed 2.4 million tonnes of old wet tailings (tailings deposited as dry-stack) and 0.3 million tonnes of residues and contaminated soil through our Kokkinolakkas TMF • Reclaimed 150 hectares up to date • Planted vegetation.

We have designed our projects for our reclamation activities to occur in parallel with our mines’ operation, in order to restore the land harmonically with the surrounding landscape, with the percentage of land reclamation compared to land used reaching 10% for Stratoni – Madem Lakkos and 50% for Olympias.

To facilitate reclamation, we co-founded ‘Greek Nurseries’, a fully verticalized plant nursery near our Olympias mine, which ranges from seed collection out of the natural flora, seed selection process, quality control and finally planting, plant growing and transplantation.

The plant was built on land that was formerly a mine concentrate area

Employs over 20

1,000,000 plants across 320

Provides plants for our reclamation activities, which are watered with treated mine water from our Olympias mine, in order to minimize use of any freshwater. Covers

hectares (making it one of the largest plant nurseries in Greece, mainly due to the large number of plants and plant species)
