410 abandoned mine sites in NSW & 52,534 in Australia.

Under the New South Wales Government’s Legacy Mines Program, BKE aims to rehabilitate Legacy mines, sometimes called abandoned or derelict mine sites.

The process begins with the extraction of contaminant metals. Using advanced technology and decades of experience, a derelict mine site can be put through a reclamation process that rejuvenates the ecosystem with removal of heavy metal contaminants from the environment and supplies these metals into the market. 

The NSW government conducted an audit in 2011 and 2014. The NSW Auditor-General found that there were around 410 abandoned mines in NSW and estimated that there were 112 derelict mine sites on Crown Land.  Among them number were 38 high risk sites. Seven large scale derelict mines on Crown land are potentially high risk including Sunny Corner (ML1878) which is owned by Ecotech Resources.

Most sites that Ecotech Resources focuses on are so badly polluted and damaged that they will never be able to be returned to their pre-European state.  However, vast improvements can be made by reclaiming them.

EcoTech Vision
