Environmental: Sustainable Mining Operations

Minimize environmental disasters and address community concerns about ongoing mining operations. Schedule blasting times according to optimal weather conditions in order to effectively disperse pollutants and eliminate associated risks.

Mining companies that address climate change through sustainable performance and emission reduction have valuations that are nearly 20% greater than their competitors.
