It is our goal to position Aurous Resources as a leader and innovator in the gold mining sector.

Aurous Resources believes in a mining sector that does minimal harm to the environment and safeguards our precious natural heritage for future generations. We invest in technologies and processes that reduce our mining operation's impact on the environment. Some of the initiatives undertaken by Aurous Resources to shift to cleaner mining operations include, Hydro rock drills and Electric induction replacing diesel heaters.

Aurous Resources is proud to initiate a solar energy project that will see up to 40MW in clean energy generated at a solar farm near Aurous Resources' mining operations on the West Rand. The first phase of the project is currently underway, and will see 10MW in solar energy generated for use at the mine and surrounding community. The first phase will allow Aurous Resources to generate 40% of present energy needs and set the mine on course to generate excess power that can be fed back into the grid in the coming years. The first phase of Aurous Resources' social energy project is currently underway.

This will achieve generating capacity of 10MW, Carbon savings of 24,000 tons per year and water savings of more than 30-million litres per year
