Discussion of long-term and | EM-MM- | Management of Scope 1 emissions | |
short-term strategy or plan to | 110a.2 | are driven by Gibraltar's 'Energy | |
manage Scope 1 emissions, | Management Policy,' which integrates | ||
emissions reduction | energy management programs | ||
targets, and an analysis of | and practices across all site-wide | ||
performance against those | operations and projects with the goal | ||
targets | of achieving continuous improvement | ||
in energy efficiency. Through this | |||
focus on continuous improvement in | |||
energy efficiency, Gibraltar also seeks | |||
ongoing improvements in its GHG | |||
intensity per unit of production. | |||
Taseko is advancing the Florence | |||
Copper Project into commercial | |||
production. As an 'in-situ copper | |||
recovery' project, Florence Copper | |||
is expected to be the lowest GHG | |||
and energy intensity primary copper | |||
producer in North America, lowering | |||
Taseko's enterprise-wide GHG intensity | |||
per unit of production. | |||

associated with | immediately corrected and not expected to have | ||
water quality | any lasting effect on aquatic habitat or aquatic life | ||
permits, standards, | in the Fraser River. The specifics include: | ||
and regulations | Ì Samples taken at the Fraser River Outfall on | ||
Friday August 18, 2023, had elevated Total | |||
Suspended Solids. Immediate remedial | |||
action included re-analysis of the sample, re- | |||
sampling with rush analysis, and suspension | |||
of the discharge. Investigation revealed that | |||
the sample at the Fraser River Outfall was | |||
not representative of Tailings Storage Facility | |||
Supernatant water. Effluent quality was | |||
reflective of residual water from previous | |||
flushing and pressure testing. | |||
Ì On October 11, 2023 and October 18, 2023 | |||
discharge to the Fraser River from the TSF | |||
recorded elevated Total Suspended Solids | |||
concentrations. Immediate remedial action | |||
included re-analysis of the sample, re-sampling | |||
with rush analysis, and suspension of the | |||
discharge to the Fraser River. The cause was | |||
due to elevated TSS near the Tailings Storage | |||
Facility (TSF) barge, as a result of reduced water | |||
volumes within the TSF in combination with the | |||
influence of fall turnover. | |||
