eDNA gives the mining sector a clearer view of environmental impacts. eDNA sensitively detects traces of genetic material in soil, water, and air to deliver faster, cost-effective, and non-invasive biodiversity data. Our solutions help you manage ecological risks with scalable, actionable intelligence across the entire mine lifecycle, and post-mine rehabilitation. Our Traditional Owner eDNA Training Program also supports co-management and cultural stewardship, to minimise environmental impacts throughout operations.
Benefits for Mining & Extractives
-
Efficient and scalable monitoring — Capture ecosystem data quickly across multiple sites and throughout the project lifecycle.
-
Reduce OH&S risks — Minimise field exposure with non-invasive sampling techniques.
-
Environmental impact assessments — Evaluate biodiversity pre-, during, and post-operations to inform adaptive management.
-
Strengthen rehabilitation and closure monitoring — Use data-driven insights to enhance ecosystem resilience.
-
Enhance reporting and disclosure — Support TNFD-aligned and ESG reporting with robust biodiversity data.
-
Early detection of ecological risks — Spot changes in species presence or invasive species before they escalate, enabling proactive management and reducing long-term environmental and compliance costs.
How you can apply eDNA
Strengthen rehabilitation and closure monitoring with lifecycle data — from baseline surveys to post-closure assessment.
Monitor soil biodiversity as an early indicator of rehabilitation success.
Easily measure nature's success and strengthen your TNFD and ESG reporting with accurate, data-driven insights using eDNA, supporting transparency and environmental disclosure.
Restoring land after mining goes beyond compliance — it’s about demonstrating real environmental progress. We visualise your data so you can track biodiversity changes, compare sites, and communicate findings with confidence.
Co-designed programs that combine eDNA technology with cultural knowledge to support First Nation–led stewardship and improve land management outcomes.
Mining eDNA Manual
We specialise in applying eDNA to large, complex projects, helping environmental teams in the mining sector collect stronger evidence for rehabilitation and restoration reporting.
We’ve developed a step-by-step guide to eDNA monitoring for mine sites. Fill out your details below to access the manual or contact us at: info@envirodna.com
Passive eDNA air sampling
Innovative tools to advance terrestrial ecosystem monitoring.
Monitoring terrestrial biodiversity around mine sites can be challenging, with traditional surveys often requiring intensive effort and providing limited coverage. We are pioneering airDNA — a breakthrough technique that captures and analyses DNA shed by species into the air. This enables:
-
Non-invasive surveys across large landscapes
-
Detection of rare or cryptic species often missed by conventional methods
-
Efficient, scalable data collection
airDNA opens new opportunities to demonstrate ecological recovery across rehabilitation zones and surrounding habitats.
