- Increased Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions due to transition to gold production and initial reliance on temporary diesel gensets
- Technological barriers to electrifying underground mining equipment
- High employee turnover (32.8%) attributed to commissioning challenges
- Attracting and retaining female employees for trade and engineering roles
