Financial implications and opportunities due to climate change | Climate change poses risks and opportunities to AngloGold Ashanti and consideration of these factors influences business-planning processes. Regulatory responses to climate change in the form of carbon pricing and budgeting are increasingly being considered in the jurisdictions in which we operate and as more participating countries ratify the 2015 Paris Agreement. See our 2020/21 Climate Change report for more information on our approach to manage climate risks and opportunities. The Australian Commonwealth Government has introduced the Safeguard Mechanism (Rule 2015) to provide a framework for Australia’s largest emitters to measure, report and manage their emissions. It does this by encouraging large facilities, whose net emissions exceed the safeguard threshold, to keep their emissions at or below emissions baselines set by the Clean Energy Regulator. The safeguard mechanism applies to facilities with Scope 1 emissions of more than 100,000 tonnes of CO2-e per financial year. Over 2020, the Australian mining operations re-calculated their respective emissions baselines to comply with the changes in legislation and remained within these baseline limits during the 2021 calendar year. | ||||

Reportable Incident Summary – 2021 | ||||||||||
Event Type and Severity | Site | Date | Event Summary | |||||||
Process water spill, High | Obuasi | 17 March 2021 | An HDPE pipe, that transports underground mine water to the process plant area, was found leaking behind the KMS Shaft’s compressor house. It had failed at a fusion joint. The spill was estimated as 270m3 and contained dissolved arsenic in excess of the Ghanaian discharge limit. It entered the nearby stormwater drainage system and made its way into a wetland. After switching off the pumps, the joint was rewelded and the system was restarted. Precautionary measures to reduce pipeline pressure were later taken. Water samples taken along the discharge path showed that the spill was diluted shortly by the streamflow volume, shortly after entering the wetland. | |||||||
Process water spill, High | Cuiaba | 01 April 2021 | A PVC pipeline conveying excess spillage from the milling and flotation plant to the mine’s new tailings filtration and drying area failed, releasing sediment-laden water onto access roads within the immediate area. A portion of the spill entered a nearby stormwater channel and reached the Sabará River, impacting it visually over a length of about 40 metres. While water analyses in the impacted zone did not reflect a determinable impact on water chemistry, the spillage included constituents marginally above applicable release limits. Approximately 90 m3 of sediment was recovered from the impacted area. The PVC pipeline was replaced with a more durable HDPE pipeline and additional monitoring cameras were installed along the pipeline, as was the frequency of physical inspections. | |||||||
Tailings slurry spill, High | Córrego do Sitio | 05 May 2021 | A concrete channel transporting tailings slurry by gravity from the process plant to the mine’s Tailings Storage Facility, overflowed at an inspection point, where it was uncovered. An estimated 30m3 of tailings spilled over into an adjacent concrete channel that drains treated mine effluent water from the process plant to the Conceição river. The tailings flow was stopped and the event was communicated to the relevant authorities and representatives of downstream communities. Samples of the spill-impacted effluent water indicated that the legal release limit for dissolved arsenic, manganese and total suspended solids had been exceeded. Upstream and downstream water quality analysis continued during clean-up activities that we immediately initiated and completed by May 27th. Additional information was requested from AGA after inspections by the State Env Agency, National Mining Agency, Environmental Police and the State Public Attorney. On Aug 27th a notice of violation and associated fine of R$ 183k (US$35k) was received from the authorities. Measures to prevent a recurrence include installation of physical barriers between the two channels, and monitoring cameras at points of high-risk. | |||||||
Process water spill, High | Obuasi | 10 June 2021 | Staff at Obuasi’s South Processing Plant discovered an estimated 3m3 of process water seeping into the stone pitched drain that transects the process plant, and directs rainwater from higher-lying ground off the operational area to a downstream watercourse, via the central Channel 13. Plant operations were immediately shut down and water samples were taken at four different locations; from Channel 13, the Nyankumasu watercourse, up to the downstream Nyam river. Cyanide concentrations in the Nyamkumasu stretch were found to be above the permissible limit, but within the standard at the Nyam river sample location. The water sampling continued up to June 13, to confirm the situation had fully normalised. | |||||||
Process water spill, High | Córrego do Sitio | 15 July 2021 | Volumes of water being pumped to surface from the Córrego do Sitio I underground mine, for treatment and release, exceeded the storage tank’s capacity. This resulted in an estimated overflow of approximately 500m3 of untreated mine water reaching the downstream Conceição River. The untreated water contained high levels of suspended solids and dissolved arsenic levels marginally over the release limit. Once detected, the overflow was stopped and field sampling initiated. While the event did not trigger regulatory reporting thresholds it was classified as ‘High’ in accordance with AGA’s environmental incident management standard. Investigations revealed that flow rates from the mine had increased progressively, placing pressure on the flexibility of the water treatment system. Measures to prevent recurrence included review and amendment of the facility’s water treatment capacity, and improved control and information systems for operators. |
