Environmental
- Focused on finding copper, gold and silver in one of the most environmentally regulated mining jurisdictions in the world. We work closely with the Saskatchewan government and Ministry of Environment to ensure proper site management and reclamation.
- Copper in particular, is an extremely important element to discover and develop for the future of the planet. In order to reach a carbon neutral energy supply, copper output will need to increase 3% to 6% per year in order to meet demand
- According to recent research by Bernstein, for every tonne of copper mined and embedded in the global economy, carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by an average of 500 tonnes per year
