Bellevue Gold: Building the World’s First Net Zero Gold Mine
Bellevue Gold proves that sustainability embedded at the design phase delivers commercial advantage, by doing mining differently. Bellevue Gold is a remote gold mine in the Northern Goldfields on WA, and contracted a 90MW hybrid power station – combining wind, solar, gas, diesel and battery storage – which has achieved >100 consecutive hours of “engines off” operation and has run the mine site on over 90% renewable energy for a month at a time, with a target of 80–90% renewable energy annually. Coupled with high quality, carbon offsets, Bellevue Gold has become the world’s first net zero (Scope 1 and Scope 2) emission gold mine. Bellevue Gold has even achieved the elusive green premium pricing through partnerships with ABC Refinery and Single Mine Origin. Hear how design-phase integration of circular economy principles is creating differentiated product positioning, new revenue streams, and a blueprint for the industry’s energy transition.
How to embed sustainability at the design phase to unlock commercial advantage – practical frameworks for renew-able energy integration, green premium product positioning, and circular economy implementation that other mining operations can replicate.
