Inc., said water management is an important focus at OceanaGold’s Didipio mine. “Our water management focuses on reducing abstraction of water from local catchments, ensuring communities maintain access to water sources, and reducing our overall operating costs,” Way said. In reducing impacts on water sources, the Didipio mine site strives to achieve zero uncontrolled release of water. He said over 80 percent of total water demand for the Didipio site is sourced from their $6 million water treatment plant (WTP), which treats water for re-use or release. In another effort to continue upgrading the company’s water management, OceanaGold is coming up with its new WTP technology.
