Community
Ivernia believes in supporting the communities in which we operate in a sustainable and responsible manner. We will be involved in the development of programs that are expected to have a positive and lasting effect on nearby communities.

In 2005, we supported the Constable Care Child Safety Foundation, a nonprofit organization that specializes in early intervention strategies for children. With this support, the program was able to make its first visit in 10 years to the Wiluna Remote Community School. The Company also contributed to the construction of the community swimming pool which provides regular organized exercise for women and children.

Community, Health, Safety and the Environment
Ivernia considers the adherence to responsible occupational health, safety and environmental management and performance as integral to its operations and the success of the Company. This is achieved through leadership, training and the use of reliable systems that provide timely and accurate information, in a transparent manner, to support effective control and decision making.

All mining, processing and exploration activities are carried out in a manner that protects the safety and health of employees, contractors, visitors and the community, while paying proper regard to the environment. All Company and contractor activities comply with legal requirements.

Occupational Health and Safety
At Magellan, a Health, Hygiene and Environmental Management Plan documents the site operating procedures. This plan includes all the safety procedures designed to manage and control human exposure to lead, minimizing blood-lead levels by preventing lead ingestion. Ongoing monitoring of blood-lead levels is conducted by independent medical personnel, using accredited medical laboratories for analysis.

The site has been designed to minimize personal exposure to lead. Systems for containing and monitoring personal exposure and atmospheric dust emissions are in place and incorporate best practices.

Environment
A comprehensive Closure and Rehabilitation Plan has been developed, incorporating current and projected rehabilitation requirements as set out by statutory authorities and mining industry best practices. The plan requires progressive rehabilitation of disturbed areas during operations to minimize the impact on the environment, as well as to reduce final closure and restoration costs for the site.
