Environmental
- Focused on finding copper, gold, silver and uranium 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
- Global demand for electricity is set to grow 50% by 2040 and the need for uranium and nuclear energy will play an integral role in meeting this demand
