The objective of this environmental due diligence review is to identify and or verify the existing and potential environmental liabilities and risks, and assess any associated proposed remediation measures for the Ereen gold mine. The results show that area of soil and water conservation measure was produced prior to 5 measures mentioned above, belong to a positive design process, closing hillside of which has been decided lately, other 4 measures were produced between these two factors.
