  • Water consumption for the fiscal years ended March 2023, 2024, and 2025 is negative due to the standard calculation method (Total water consumption = Total water intake − Total water discharged). 
    This is because the volume of wastewater discharged from mine wastewater treatment exceeded the actual  water discharged. This situation is part of our sustainable resource management and represents an exceptional case that cannot be expressed using the standard calculation method.
