Iluka considers water a precious shared resource, with high social, environmental and economic value. We recognise it is an essential component for our mining activities, a fundamental ecosystem requirement and a basic human right. Therefore, we have an important role in its stewardship.
We use water in all parts of our business, including exploration drilling, mining and processing, dust suppression, rehabilitation and for drinking and domestic use in our accommodation camps. Each of our operations maintains water management plans and site-wide water balance to guide responsible water use throughout the mine lifecycle and in the context of the local catchment. Our water-related activities are regulated by relevant legislation in each jurisdiction and are subject to set quality and quantity thresholds.
