Expert Review

Mining projects are big, complex, and in so many ways beneficial. However, their legacy is long-lasting. Either because of changing societal or technical norms, or because of poor practices by the standards of the day, mine sites often require significant management to protect human health and the health of the environment. Such management is ideally conducted by the mine owner, but sometimes is conducted by governments, as the owners of orphan sites. Decisions on how to mitigate mine-site problems are often supported by expert review panels, and expert review of studies can be critical to achieving a positive outcome.

Intera, and in particular our President, Ken Raven, has a long history of involvement in the provision of expert advice on some of Canada’s toughest mine-site problems. Expert panels on which he has sat or currently sits include those supporting the Faro Mine Closure Planning Office, Yukon, closure of various mines in Yukon, the Giant Mine Arsenic Remediation Project, Yellowknife, NWT, the Snap Lake Diamond Project, the Gahcho Kué diamond mine, NWT, and management of the Ronneburg Uranium Mine in the former East Germany.
