The Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Committee was updated mid 2014 when the mine reached the next stage in its development and the emphasis shifted from approvals, construction and commissioning of the mine to on-going mining operations, environmental management and continuous rehabilitation working towards mine closure, decommissioning, rehabilitation and the ultimate surrender of the tenement.

The ToR is deliberately detailed so that it can be used as a manual to help the Committee members and the community to fully understand how the Committee works.
