Outcross Resources offers 4 services
Risk Assessment, mitigation and benchmarking of your land and the agricultural rehabilitation activities taking place
Development, design and implementation of formal R&D trials for grazing, cropping, forestry or native vegetation on rehabilitated mining land
Management of end to end compliance and reporting for agricultural rehabilitation activities stemming from R&D trials
Management of stock, crops and vegetation on rehabilitated mined land on behalf of the land owner (ie: the mining company)
We want to focus today’s discussion on Land Management

2. How Outcross Resources adds value to the mining project lifecycle
Mine Closure Plan
Alignment of Agricultural Master Planning Framework and Mining Project Life Cycle all within the Mine Close Plan
Outcross Resources Phase
Mining Project
Phase
1. Farm the Land
Advise on potential agricultural value capture from mining exploration sites
Exploration
Share data from successful agricultural R&D trials at other mine sites
Advise on options for agricultural integration as part of the mine close planning including cost benefit analyses of various options
Feasibility
2. Prepare for Mining
Advise on implementation of agricultural integration during mining operations for various operating scenarios
Update mine close plan with agricultural integration for the selected mine site and preferred operating scenario
Planning & Design
Design and plan R&D trials
Gather baseline performance data
Take over land management
Assess and document existing agricultural operations
Plan optimal farm layout for post mining
Construction
3. Mine the Land
Establish R&D trials
Establish performance measures and begin collecting data
Manage non-mined land
Test and measure alternate agricultural approaches
Begin farm layout implementation
Operations
(Progressive Rehabilitation)
4. Rehab the Land
Continue R&D trials and document results
Measure performance and establish benchmark data
Manage non-mined land
Implement alternate agricultural approaches
Finalise farm layout and prepare to ramp up farming activities
Decommissioning & Closure
In the early phases we are able to guide mining companies with expert advice regarding potential post-mining land use alternatives
As the mining project progresses our support can be categorised into five segments
1. R&D Trials involves Outcross Resources designing, establishing, monitoring and documenting grazing and/or cropping trials progressively and in parallel with the mine development and operation
2. Data Measurement involves gathering baseline data, determining performance benchmarks and capturing operational data against those benchmarks
3. Land Management involves running the operations of the land with experienced and knowledgeable people who have managed successful grazing and cropping operations and R&D trials
4. New Methods involves the land managers working with leading edge farming practices to maximise the environmental benefit and productivity benefit of the post-mining grazing and/or cropping activities
5. Mine Close Plan involves collecting information from land management activities and progressively updating the mine close plan with these details so that at any time the mining operation has an up to date and accurate record of post-mining land use activities
5. Optimise Farming & Relinquish
Publish benchmark data
Continue measuring performance
Manage non-mined land
Test and implement alternate agricultural approaches
Increase farming activities based on research findings to a sustainable level and maintain
