ESG case for Dhupuma Plateau Bauxite Mine — first Indigenous-owned and operated mining venture on traditional Yolngu land. Environmental (low-impact surface mining, native-knowledge rehabilitation), Social (Gulkula Regional Training Centre, community self-sufficiency), Governance (Gumatj Corporation oversight, NLC engagement). Thesis: culturally-aligned, capital-light ESG holding inside a Rio Tinto sustainability allocation.
