For CMOC, responsible mining means not only recovering valuable minerals from ore, but also safely managing the tailings left behind over the long term. ⛏️🪨 Our tailings storage facilities (TSFs) are essential to protecting communities and the environment from dam failures, making their effective management a core pillar of CMOC’s sustainability strategy. 🛡️ In China, we are using technological innovation to strengthen oversight and identify potential risks earlier. 📹 At our Luchanggou TSF, an intelligent monitoring platform equipped with 31 cameras provides full coverage of the site, supported by regular drone inspections and a 21-person team conducting patrols around the clock. 🤖 We have also deployed a pipeline inspection robot at our No. 1 Mineral Processing Plant to detect potential safety and environmental risks along tailings pipelines, while our drone inspection system surveys each TSF every two hours, completing a full scan in just 15 minutes. Together, our real-time monitoring, image analysis and rapid-response processes are extending oversight to difficult-to-access areas. Because innovation matters most when it helps safeguard people and planet. 🌍 #ResponsibleMining #MiningInnovation
