Radon occurs naturally in the bedrock and is released naturally through the soil and into the atmosphere. This is why continuous measurements, monitoring, and protective measures are essential in exploration and mining. We take this very seriously – managing radon and radiation risks is one of the most important safety issues for us, and we follow strict regulations to ensure the health and safety of workers and surrounding communities.
