Assess your mine. Green the land.

Draw the full mine footprint, then drop each tailings dam, waste-rock dump, pit and pollution-control dam onto the satellite map. A tailings storage facility (TSF) is the engineered dam that holds processing waste and water — usually the biggest safety and water risk on a mine, so it is placed and sized first.

Runs the engines across the saved boundary, water, tailings and chemicals and returns a risk register — each item with its owner and next action. Where you have captured surveyed crest/pond levels, metered water volumes or laboratory results, the scan computes freeboard, the water balance and lab exceedances live; where you have not, it tells you exactly what to provide and never reads a gap as "all clear".

For each dam we look at three separate things: freeboard — the vertical gap between the lowest surveyed dam crest and the water level, so a storm cannot overtop it; the GISTM consequence class — how severe a failure would be downstream, judged independently of how likely it is; and inspection currency. There is no single invented "safety score" — a dam-safety verdict needs a competent Engineer of Record.

Map where water enters, is recycled and leaves the site. A water balance reconciles inflows against outflows and storage so nothing is unaccounted; high-risk streams are then flagged for laboratory testing, because the colour or look of water never establishes its chemistry. Lab results are compared to your reference values — not treated as legal limits.

Record each stored chemical with its storage, disposal and spill protocols. High-hazard chemicals held within 100 m of a watercourse with an incomplete protocol are flagged for sampling and containment — disposal must go to a licensed facility with a manifest.

Every demarcated pit edge, tailings wall, dump slope, dam and plant area is a hazard to workers, the community and livestock. Fence and sign each one, keep an emergency plan, and fly a drone over them on a schedule: crest and slope surveys, pit-wall cracks, seepage, fence breaches and unauthorised access. Drone findings are evidence for the engineer, not a safety sign-off.

Turn the findings into a costed plan — rehabilitation, greening, wetlands, dust control, solar, community programmes and an underground air-quality pilot — and track compliance items against the authorisations. "Evidence missing" is never recorded as "non-compliant"; costs are scoped, not quoted.
