Will it last?

The Year 11 Geography class have been studying the sustainable use of environments.

Thanks to Gavin Lee and the team at Oceana Gold we were lucky enough to have a tour of the mining operation at Macraes Flat. 

As part of their internal assessment, students needed to consider; what are the impacts of gold mining on people and the environment and the extent to which mining can be maintained in the future to minimise environmental impacts.

A conclusion will need to be made as to whether Macraes Flat is being used sustainably for gold mining and what is their future use.

So, will it last?
