We consider minimizing water consumption to be a core commitment across our operations.
First Quantum has a core commitment to minimise water withdrawal and discharge by adopting new technologies, continually improving efficiencies and on-site water reuse.
Large quantities of water are essential for almost all mining and mineral processing activities. We report and measure our water usage under the ICMM’s Water Reporting Good Practice Guide, 2nd Edition.
Ongoing initiatives to increase efficiency, reduce withdrawal and discharge, and increase on site water reuse through specific projects are an area of focus for our operations.
