- GHG emissions and accelerating climate change
- Impacts on surface water and the chemical or ecological status of the receiving water bodies from mining operations in Ikkari
- Exploration causes tree damage and can impact flora and fauna
- Tailings and waste from mining can include minerals and hazardous substances that can cause pollution
- Lack of information might increase stakeholders’ suspicions or disapproval of the project
- Non-compliance with legal and environmental norms would cause great reputational damage for Rupert Resources as well as the whole mining industry

✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Started groundwater monitoring in both Ikkari and Pahtavaara
- Conducted large-scale nature and biodiversity baseline surveys
- Conducted a comprehensive environmental risk assessment
- Installed continuous environmental monitoring stations
- Seeds were sown at tailings pond in 2019–2021 in the Pahtavaara rehabilitation project, and the area is now being monitored by biologists. Biodiversity in the area has increased and the flora has been found to significantly reduce dusting.
