Victor Diamond Mine Receives Tom Peters Memorial Mine Reclamation Award
|
The De Beers Group Victor Mine closure project is the 2022 recipient of the Tom Peters Memorial Mine Reclamation Award.
The Victor Mine is in the James Bay lowlands, situated within the second largest wetland complex in the world, an area that is both ecologically sensitive and largely
undisturbed. It operated between 2008-2019.
Constructed mine rock pads had to be built to facilitate a full-scale 24/7 mining operation. To reclaim these features, a mirrored approach to
Mother Nature in terms of shaping and deposition sequence to ensure long-term stability and allow passive sustainable function was implemented. Nearly a decade of university-led research programs to examine a multitude of aspects for mine closure have
been completed.
