The technology could be of particular interest to those who monitor wastewater at remote sites or closed mining operations. Commenting on the achievement, Dr. Michel Julien, VP environment at Agnico Eagle and chair of the CMIC environment group said, “Innovation is essential for driving continual improvement in environmental performance. Investing in advanced technology platforms will help transform environmental management and improve the overall sustainability of the mining business.
