Project

From Waste to Worth

Circular mining

Where can the operation reduce waste and uncover new opportunities for value?

Company identity and selected project elements have been adapted for public presentation.

Learning map “From Waste to Worth”: a mining operation in one landscape, with resources and reserves, loading and haulage, waste rock and tailings, mineral processing and co-products, crossed by strategic drivers.
Challenge

Make circular mining understandable across the operational chain. The project connects decisions about resources, materials, and processes to opportunities to reduce waste and make better use of what the operation generates.

Solution

The map brings resources and reserves, loading and haulage, mineral processing, and co-products into one landscape. Its scenes help people see connections across stages, distinguish materials, and explore opportunities for recovery and reuse. Strategic drivers along the route connect the topic to everyday decisions.

Sustainable sand and a block plant: examples of new uses for materials from the operation.
Experience

The cards present challenges and possible actions for group discussion. Solutions, enabling actions, outcomes, and indicators structure the exploration of choices and their effects within the activity. The visual materials include examples of these cards and a miniature mining truck used as a physical piece in the experience.

Experience objective

Explore the connections between operations, material recovery and value creation. Use the map’s situations to discuss alternatives and their consequences.
