REHABILITATION
5.1
REHABILITATION METHODS
During the term of this PoO, no new disturbance or rehabilitation is planned for the Project site, however any new disturbances required to support maintenance or environmental monitoring will be rehabilitated appropriately. The previous PoO (2018) saw the rehabilitation of 234 drill holes, which were cut to ground level, capped, and cemented. These drill holes have not been formally certified, and therefore still appear within financial assurance for the current PoO.
Infrastructure
If not required for future activities, tracks, sumps, and laydown areas will be rehabilitated to their previous condition. Any tracks located in rehabilitated or vegetated landforms will be ripped and seeded to promote revegetation. No infrastructure rehabilitation is planned for the current PoO, as these areas remain useful to the project during care and maintenance.
Maintenance
No new disturbance is planned for the term of this PoO. Any disturbance required for site maintenance will be rehabilitated following the end of works. This will include contouring, ripping and seeding to promote revegetation.
Environmental Investigations
No new disturbance is planned for the term of this plan. Any disturbance required for environmental investigations will be rehabilitated following the end of works. This will include contouring, ripping and seeding to promote revegetation.

SCHEDULE OF DISTURBANCE REQUIRING REHABILITATION
The areas to remain disturbed during the term of this PoO are outlined in Table 6. The necessary rehabilitation of roads, tracks, sumps and laydown areas have been used to calculate the cost of achieving rehabilitation objectives for financial assurance purposes. Financial assurance for this PoO also includes the rehabilitation of 234 drill holes. This work was completed in 2018, however has not yet been certified by DES. These drill holes are therefore included in the financial assurance for the current PoO.
