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

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

10

Before reclamation After reclamation

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

No Effects on Regional Groundwater

• All drill holes are fitted with steel casings that prevent interaction with

groundwater
