Savage River Mine is a metal ore mining facility operated by GRANGE RESOURCES (TASMANIA) PTY LTD in TAS. Like all covered facilities, iron ore, gold and base metal mining uses significant diesel and electricity. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Savage River Mine must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2023–24, Savage River Mine reported emissions of 119 kt against a baseline obligation of 100 kt — an overage of 19 kt. The facility has not yet surrendered credits to cover this overage — this may indicate an excess emissions situation or a multi-year arrangement not yet reflected in the published data.
Across the metal ore mining sector, 8 of 8 covered facilities reported emissions above their baseline in 2023–24. The table below compares Savage River Mine with other metal ore mining facilities covered by the Safeguard Mechanism.
