OTTAWA, Nov. 29, 2016 /CNW/ - BluMetric Environmental
Inc. (TSX-V: BLM) has initiated more than $2.2 million in recent contracts for work based
in Northern Ontario, Nunavut, NWT, and the Yukon, including a $1.03 million contract for Harte Gold to design,
supply, and install a mine-water treatment system for the Sugar
Zone Project near Hemlo, Ontario,
which starts immediately with anticipated commissioning in Spring
of 2017.
The contract wins offer a clear indication of the strength and
range of BluMetric's environmental solutions for clients dealing
with extreme climates, complex treatment issues, and remote
regions.
The Harte Gold mine-water treatment system will treat ammonia
using a state-of-the-art resin exchange system, in addition to more
conventional metals treatment. With a depth of expertise that
enables it to innovate and customize solutions for specific client
needs, BluMetric is very active in all stages of the analysis,
planning, construction, and execution of wastewater solutions as
well as the provision of specialized hydrology, hydrogeology,
occupational health and safety, and other development and
compliance services for mining clients domestically and abroad.
"The Harte Gold project fits precisely into our strategy of
developing situationally tailored mine-water treatment systems for
use in challenging environments that are often compounded by
complex water chemistry," said Dan
Scroggins, BluMetric's VP of Research and Innovation.
"Ammonia from runoff and mine dewatering is a significant obstacle
for mine developers and operators, and BluMetric is very well
positioned to help mining clients successfully and cost-effectively
face these challenges."
The remaining new contracts vary in technology area, business
line, and client sector, with the majority involving work in
environmental engineering, industrial hygiene, waste management,
and contaminated site/building assessment and remediation.
Clients include all levels of government and their agents – from
federal and territorial to Inuit and First Nations communities, as
well as private entities – and they are situated in northern
Ontario, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and the Yukon.
"The level and extent of the contract wins we are experiencing
demonstrate broad demand and prove the strategic sense of our
northern focus," said Roger Woeller,
CEO of BluMetric. "With a long-term presence in Yellowknife, a newly strengthened team in
Whitehorse, and ready access to
Nunavut, BluMetric's reach
continues to expand and we are able to provide our high-quality
service and solutions in Canada's
most remote and difficult sites."
