Clean Mining Alliance to Promote Cleantech Solutions for Mining Sector

Clean Mining Alliance unveiled its new industry association aimed at promoting advancements in clean technologies to make the mining industry cleaner and more environmentally responsible.

As quoted in the press release:

Founding members of the Clean Mining Alliance include American Manganese (TSXV: AMY, Frankfurt: 2AM, PINKS: AMYZF.pk), CERM3 at the University of British Columbia, Kemetco Research and Nevada Clean Magnesium (TSXV: NVM, Frankfurt: M1V, PINKS: MLYFF). Each of these organizations is introducing new processes or technologies aimed at making mining safer, cleaner and less expensive. Clean technologies, or “cleantech,” employed by member organizations include membrane-based water filtration, hydrometallurgical processes, biologic remediation, carbon capture, near-zero emissions processes, closed-loop systems and other innovation.

Clean Mining Alliance Executive Director, Dallas Kachan, commented:

Frameworks exist to increase social responsibility in mining, but despite advancements in exploration, extraction, production and reclamation technology, the industry has struggled to present itself as having grown beyond the mining days of old. The Clean Mining Alliance exists to help promote new and emerging technology developments that are making mining more environmentally responsible.
