Environment
Water Recycling
Although abundant underground water source is available at the mine site, NMC recycles 100% of used water at its water treatment/recycling facility.
Agriculture Protection
NMC purchased the land around the mine to ensure that the land is used in a way that serves the best interests of the local farmers.
Tailings Elimination
Tailings in mining carry substantial environmental liability and cost.
NMC, however, is linked to a cement plant nearby where the tailings are trucked to be used in cement production.
Airborne Dust/Noise Reduction
NMC Mine is the first fine in South Korean mining history to build its crushing chamber underground inside the adit in order to protect the community from airborne dust and noise.
