Ecological Engineering for Gold and Base Metal Mining Operations in the Northwest Territories

📖 The Scoop

Evaluation of the long term environmental implications of active mining operations in the Northwest Territories to assess waste management strategies which could, at the termination of the mining operations, minimize potential environmental degradation. Field investigations of the Lupin gold mine and the lead zinc concentrator at Nanisivik primarily focused on the environmental conditions which might be encountered in the long term after the shut down of the operations. Emphasis was placed on the search within the waste management areas and at their boundaries to the environment for suitable components of ecosystems which could be utilized in ecological engineering methods and biological polishing processes.
