Raglan Mine Finalist at the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) Excellence Awards 2020

It is a prestigious recognition of our innovative sustainable development practices focused on community engagement and environmental protection. 

Raglan Mine Closure Plan

Even if Raglan Mine plans to continue operating for at least 20 years, it is never too early to start planning for the mine closure. To respect the territory and its users, it is essential to work closely with the local Inuit communities to ensure that the closure plan in place is socially and environmentally acceptable.

To fulfill this mission, Raglan Mine set up a steering committee in 2005 to design tailing and waste rock rehabilitation plan as well as a water management plan adapted to Raglan Mine. In 2018, this committee officially became the closure plan subcommittee to improve dialogue with Inuit partners.

These efforts go far beyond legal requirements. Traditional knowledge is integrated into the plan, as is scientific research on climate change. With this committee, we are particularly proud to become the benchmark in terms of good mine closure practices!​
