It’s the duty of screening media and kilometres of umbilical systems to relay this raw matter to the surface. […]

Mining explorations and operations have the potential to create severe negative safety, ecological, environmental, and economic impacts during the process and long after. Safety and environmental procedures and regulations are in place to mitigate contamination and other negative […]
