Itinerary
Research and Reclamation at Detour Lake Mine, presented by Veronika Raizman, Manager, Reclamation & Geochemistry, Kirkland Lake Gold (KL).
The effects of restoration on carbon storage in smelter-impacted industrial barrens, presented by Robyn Rumney, Research Project Manager, Laurentian University/Université Laurentienne.
Constraints on Northern Aggregate Pit Reclamation and Novel Reclamation Strategies for Enhancing Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning.
The Ontario chapter of the Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA) along with Vale, the Ontario Mining Association (OMA), and the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines (MENDM) are pleased to announce that Jonathan Lavigne has been selected to receive the 2020 Tom Peters Memorial Mine Reclamation student bursary. Jonathan is currently a 1st year Ph.D. student in the Boreal Ecology program at Laurentian University, under the primary supervision of Dr. Nathan Basiliko. Jonathan’s Ph.D. research focuses on the introduction of novel reclamation strategies to improve soil fertility in mining impact areas, encompassing both smelter impacted lands and legacy aggregate mining sites. The award will be used to enhance both GIS and statistical analysis components of Jonathan’s research. The competition was very stiff this year, with four excellent submissions, and we thank all candidates.
Read MoreThe Canadian Land Reclamation Association - Ontario Chapter is pleased to announce that Kirkland Lake Gold’s Detour Lake Mine has won the 2020 Tom Peters Memorial Mine Reclamation Industry award for their project entitled “The Detour Lake Mine Research and Progressive Reclamation Program”. With a projected life of mine to 2040 (or longer), the Detour Lake Mine initiated, in 2012, a progressive reclamation effort, supported by a long-term multidisciplinary research program. The extensive efforts of this program continue to address several aspects critical to successful mine reclamation, including ecosystem restoration with native species and the management of metal leaching and acid rock drainage from mine waste materials. The results of the ongoing studies continue to guide the evolution of the on-site reclamation research program. In turn, the research program has not only led to the development and initiation of the full-scale progressive reclamation program at Detour Lake Mine but also contributed knowledge to industry-wide mine reclamation practices in general.
