Pluton Resources is committed to excellence in managing the impact of its operations on the environment. At each stage of development it proactively aims to avoid or to minimise environmental impacts. In addition to complying with relevant legislative and regulatory requirements, Pluton Resources:

• Liaises closely with stakeholders including the traditional owners, local communities, shires and governmental authorities
• Gives the public an opportunity to comment on its operations
• Ensures that all necessary approvals are in place
• Undertakes studies to ensure that no rare or endangered flora or fauna are impacted by its exploration
• Minimises impacts of its exploration on the surrounding area
• Rehabilitates disturbed areas so the impacts are temporary.

Pluton Resources works closely with specialist consultants to minimise and manage environmental impacts. Initial flora and fauna studies have been completed on Irvine Island. All operations on Irvine Island are conducted under a quarantine management plan which was designed by quarantine management consultants to prevent the introduction of non-indigenous species.
