ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATION OF THE FORMER RAYROCK MINE In January 2023, ALTRA | SANEXEN was awarded the major environmental remediation project of the former Rayrock mine in Northern Canada. The former mine is located around 60 km northeast of Whatì, an aboriginal community right at the center of the Northwest Territories. The mine only operated from 1957 to 1959, but had lasting effects on the land and people. Preliminary cleanup works took place in the 1990s, but more contamination problems have since come to light. The impacts of the mine on the surrounding land—and the local community—have been felt for generations. This project will allow the indigenous Tlicho people to return to the land. ALTRA | SANEXEN will be in charge of the extensive cleanup of the former Rayrock uranium mine and its surroundings, which include lakes and beautiful natural habitats. “The major environmental remediation project of the former Rayrock mine in Northern Canada is one of ALTRA | SANEXEN’s largest site remediation project to date,” says Savoy. “The extensive cleanup includes the areas of the former uranium mine and its surroundings, which include lakes and beautiful natural habitats.” Jean-François Bolduc, President 39 AUG 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
