  9. Early Engagement  Engaged with local people two years prior to drilling in order to identify and address concerns and interests  Forged strong early relationships by offering partnerships and involvement in planning and activities  Our early engagement provided important input and led to project design changes  Groundwater protection and monitoring  Archaeological assessment  Noise monitoring  Environmental protection 9

  10. Environmental Protection  The effects of drilling are minimal and temporary  Once drilling is complete, drill rigs are removed and the site is reclaimed  All drill holes are cemented and capped. Drill cuttings will be taken to an approved disposal site  The surface is reseeded with vegetation Before reclamation After reclamation 10

  11. No Effects on Water Resources  Constantia recognizes the importance communities place on water  Innovative drill fluid containment tank ensures no discharge to the environment and recycles water to preserve water resources  All water is recycled 11

  12. No Effects on Regional Groundwater  All drill holes are fitted with steel casings that prevent interaction with groundwater 12
