<strong>12A</strong>.2 Explanatory Notes for Table <strong>12A</strong>.2<br />

Restricted<br />

Range<br />

The following table, Table <strong>12A</strong>.2 presents the full species list recorded at the mine, for the taxonomic groups<br />

covered in the <strong>Mine</strong> Baseline (Social and Environmental Baseline Studies); namely mammals, birds,<br />

amphibians, reptiles, fish and plants.<br />

There have been some taxonomic changes since this list was finalised (in 2010), especially for plants. The<br />

preliminary species list in Table <strong>12A</strong>.1 is in accordance with the latest taxonomy, but this list retains the<br />

taxonomy used in the <strong>Mine</strong> Baseline (SEBS).<br />
