The design incorporates state-of-the-art methods such as SART, which concerns the use and management of cyanide—an essential element for ore processing—representing a Best Available Technique (BAT). In the same context, it is noted that Eldorado Gold has signed and implements, at its active mines in Greece (Halkidiki) and Turkey, the International Cyanide Management Code, a strict protocol for cyanide management in active mines around the world.

The operation of the Mine’s fleet will rely significantly on electrification, thereby drastically reducing the carbon footprint in alignment with the European Union’s Green Deal.

An Environmental Monitoring Observatory will be established across the entire scope of the mining site, equipped with numerous sensors for the collection of environmental data, which will be transmitted to a publicly accessible online database.
