The goal of our research is to examine how mines in northern regions, such as the De Beers Victor Diamond Mine, can use readily accessible material, including their mining by-products, to create cover...

There are four basic features that are fundamental for the development of a Geopark. These standards must be met and confirmed by representatives of the country that nominates a specific park to the...

Microbes are the driving force in many processes, acting as catalysts to facilitate biogeochemical reactions that influence mining operations and remediation efforts. Despite this influence, microbes...

During the closure planning process PGM collaborated with the City of Timmins and Mattagami Region Conservation Authority (MRCA) to determine a long-term land-use plan that would benefit the community...

Assisted revegetation is intended to accelerate plant establishment and growth on disturbed sites. Current reclamation practices are limited by lack of native plant material, harsh environmental...

Porcupine Gold Mines (PGM) has extensive mining-related land holdings in and around the City of Timmins, Ontario. Many of these holdings consist of closed open pit and underground mines and mine waste...

The Fire Road Mine coal mine in eastern Canada has been a source of acid mine drainage since the mid 1980's. Lime neutralization treatment has been ongoing and lime treatment costs and mine water...

Mitigating toxicity of soil Ni through liming might manifest itself through lower bioavailability of soil Ni, thus lower tissue concentrations of Ni. Bioavailability of dissolved metals is reduced as...

One of my research goals is to develop protocols for ecosystem rehabilitation after mining in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, in a similar fashion as has been developed for the peat extraction industry in...

The Victoria Junction waste rock pile was reclaimed with an engineered cover system that includes a geomembrane layer and is presented as a case study. The waste rock pile is located on Cape Breton...
