SEEDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

We believe that “good mines get better” through expansion, resource conversion and technological advancements. However, all operations will eventually come to an end and the impacts of mine closure are felt not only by the workforce and investors, but also by the local community.

We actively seek opportunities to work with our operating partners to advance sustainability initiatives with the goal of aiding communities to thrive both during mining operations and beyond.

We also believe in supporting the education of the industry’s next generation of leadership who will be at the forefront of the continued evolution of responsible resource development and sustainability standards.

SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES

We also believe in giving back at home, supporting the communities where we live and work.

Our annual charitable giving is administered by a committee of employees that selects donation targets and recipients in our local communities.

We are proud to partner with leading charities in Denver, Luzern, Toronto and Vancouver who are actively responding to community needs with respect to medical supplies, homelessness, food security, elder care, and education.
