Vimy has adopted
Towards Sustainable Mining ®
an award-winning
accountability framework
which helps minerals companies
evaluate, manage and communicate
their sustainability performance.
Adopting the independently verified system will reinforce Vimy's commitment
to continuous improvement
in safety, environmental
and social governance (ESG).
Committed to:
The amount of natural uranium
produced from Mulga Rock
(3.5Mlbs pa U3O8)
if utilised in nuclear reactors
which displaced coal-fired electricity
would reduce carbon dioxide
equivalent emissions
by approximately
64 million tonnes
That is equivalent to
about 12%
of Australia's
and 70%
of Western Australia's
greenhouse gas emissions
