Reclamation is important work, which is why Perpetua Resources has teamed up with Iron Woman for legacy mine cleanup. Iron Woman Construction and Environmental Services is a Native American-owned company that works on civil and environmental projects. Together, they will move over 300,000 tons of legacy mine waste away from sensitive waterways on site and continue efforts to restore impacted riparian areas.
“Legacy restoration is a key pillar of our vision for Stibnite, and we believe our early cleanup work shows that responsible partnership with private industry can help improve environmental conditions at historical mine sites,” said Laurel Sayer, CEO of Perpetua Resources. “Last summer, we made significant progress and we look forward to building upon that success with the help of Iron Woman and the many local contractors and employees coming to Stibnite this summer.”
Perpetua Resources and Iron Woman will be working throughout the summer, with updates to be found on Perpetua Resources’ blog.
