• In 2013, Oaky Creek Coal constructed and commissioneda purpose-built Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plantfor treatment of mine-affected legacy pit water. The treatedwater is re-used in operations as a substitute for raw waterin industrial applications.

• The water treatment plant has reduced the mine’s raw water usage by more than 1 billion litres each year (over 60% reductioninrawwaterusage–equivalenttomore than 500 Olympic swimming pools of freshwater saved annually).

• As more mine services switch to Reverse Osmosis water,it is expected to achieve up to 90% reduction on raw waterusage in 2014/2015.

• The water management initiatives being implementedat Oaky Creek Coal demonstrate leading practice thatwill help achieve the objectives of Glencore’s watermanagement strategy for its Queensland coal operations:• To be able to handle weather extremes;• To use water more efficiently; and

• To recycle water wherever possible.
