The project is based in Western Australia and is one of Australia’s largest gold producers. CDM Smith was engaged by the client to conduct a detailed gap analysis of the DWER License to evaluate compliance with its conditions. Using a systematic approach and tailored methodology, the team reviewed existing systems, policies, and procedures, identifying areas of full, partial, and non-conformance. The independent assessment provided practical recommendations to enhance environmental and operational performance, ensuring continued compliance and supporting the client’s ongoing commitment to responsible mining and sustainability.
