A clean slate: Collaborative cleanup for mineral exploration sites

Join us for an informative session focused on the challenges and solutions associated with cleaning up abandoned mineral exploration sites. We will explore the environmental impacts of these sites and discuss effective remediation techniques, including physical waste and habitat restoration. Speakers will share the importance of engaging local communities to ensure transparency and collaboration. Case studies from the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Nord-du-Québec will be shared. Additionally, drilling and junior mining companies will highlight sustainable practices that can prevent future abandonment issues, fostering a "clean-up-as-you-go" mentality will support responsible resource management. Participants will gain insights into the frameworks that guide cleanup efforts and liability. Whether you're a practitioner, regulator, or community member, this session will equip you with valuable knowledge and strategies for promoting environmental stewardship in mineral exploration.
