Thanks to our long Research &amp; Development efforts, we target &nbsp;a 60% water recycling rate at our plant after the ramp-up. We continue to actively work on optimizing water use and advancing towards even more efficient and responsible management of this vital resource.<\/p>\n<p>The company does not extract or use surface water to avoid competition with human or fauna and flora needs.<\/p>\n<p>We pump non potable water at more than 100 meters deep, with wells. All water catchments are compliant with an authorization given by the Office of Water Resources of the province of Salta.<\/p>\n<p>Closest inhabitants of the project live 11 kilometers from the deposit. They are seven semi-nomad families of puesteros and they use surface water for their needs, as the fauna and flora does.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, to learn about the status of all water sources in the basin of Salar Centenario Ratones, and the weather conditions prevailing in the area, we carry out periodic environmental monitorings with external parties. To take samples and analyze them, we hired the services of an independent laboratory with extensive experience and certifications under both national and international standards, including IRAM 17025 quality certification, which guarantees the reliability of the results obtained.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-custom fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type CTA-eramet CTA-plus-white slide-content\" style=\"--button_accent_color:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--button_border_color:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--button_accent_hover_color:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--button_border_hover_color:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--button_border_width-top:2px;--button_border_width-right:2px;--button_border_width-bottom:2px;--button_border_width-left:2px;--button_gradient_angle:180deg;--button_gradient_top_color:var(--awb-custom_color_7);--button_gradient_bottom_color:var(--awb-custom_color_7);--button_gradient_top_color_hover:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--button_gradient_bottom_color_hover:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--button_margin-top:20px;\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Les standards les plus stricts de la mine responsable\" aria-label=\"Les standards les plus stricts de la mine responsable\" href=\"#\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\".fusion-modal.M1\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column content-slider block-16-9\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:20px;--awb-padding-right:20px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-padding-left:20px;--awb-overflow:hidden;--awb-bg-color:rgba(26,0,59,0.25);--awb-bg-color-hover:rgba(26,0,59,0.25);--awb-bg-position:left center;--awb-bg-blend:multiply;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-radius:10px 10px 10px 10px;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:2.94%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:30px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.94%;--awb-width-medium:33.333333333333%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:2.94%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:2.94%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:0.98%;--awb-spacing-left-small:0.98%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper lazyload fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-space-between fusion-content-layout-column fusion-column-has-bg-image\" data-bg-url=\"https:\/\/eramine.eramet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/12\/Agua-monitoreo-800x450.jpg\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/eramine.eramet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/12\/Agua-monitoreo-800x450.jpg\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-font-size:20px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;font-size:1em;\">Environmental monitoring program<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-modal modal fade modal-2 M2\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" aria-labelledby=\"modal-heading-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"--awb-border-color:#e2e2e2;--awb-background:#ffffff;\"><div class=\"modal-dialog modal-lg\" role=\"document\"><div class=\"modal-content fusion-modal-content\"><div class=\"modal-header\"><button class=\"close\" type=\"button\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"Close\">&times;<\/button><h3 class=\"modal-title\" id=\"modal-heading-2\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Environmental monitoring program<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"modal-body fusion-clearfix\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload demi alignright wp-image-47525 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%2750%27%20height%3D%270%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%2050%200%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%2750%27%20height%3D%270%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/eramine.eramet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/12\/Agua-monitoreo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"50%\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n<p>At Eramine, we perform rigorous <strong>environmental monitoring<\/strong> as part of our commitment to responsible and transparent mining.
