Our Green Commitment
Contributing to a Green Future
Manitoba’s mining operations are operating more sustainably than ever, thanks to ongoing innovation and regulations at the federal and provincial levels, with an eye towards a bold industry-wide goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. At the same time, a vibrant mining sector allows us to step forward as a leader in the global green movement, as Manitoba’s mines can supply the critical minerals necessary for green innovations and technology.
Minimizing Environmental Impact
Manitoba mines operate under the world’s most stringent environmental standards protecting soil, water, forestry and wildlife. Canadian regulations encompass all stages of mining from exploration to processing, progressive waste management, and ultimately, site reclamation. Environmental teams test local water and soil quality regularly during operation and make sure former mine sites return to nature using a thorough reclamation process.

Mining Sustainably
Mining operations across Manitoba are electrifying their operations, reducing water use, and creating less waste. The Canadian industry is on board with Towards Sustainable Mining, a globally recognized program providing frameworks for sustainable operations in nine key areas.
With help from partners innovating in colleges and universities around the country, Manitoba’s mining industry is constantly finding ways to become even more sustainable.
