NewRange is committed to meeting the highest environmental standards for mining. It starts with efforts to clean up and update existing infrastructure, continues through every step of mineral development, and ends with a clear taxpayer-protective plan for closure and reclamation that restores biodiversity to the site.
NewRange plans to apply updated technology and management practices for water resource and wetland protection throughout the life of the project. During operations, the NorthMet Project is designed to utilize modern facilities, real-time monitoring and predictive modeling to improve water efficiency.
NorthMet’s closed-loop design principles will reduce imported water needs and the amount of water discharged by 75%.
This water management strategy is informed by ongoing studies, monitoring, regulatory oversight, as well as engagement with Tribal Nations, communities and agencies, and is currently being applied in early site improvement and cleanup activities.
NewRange will leave impacted lands in environmentally sound condition after mining is complete through modern best practices, which include progressive reclamation, long-term water management and regulator approved closure plans.
A significant part of our work will include cleaning up and modernizing a legacy mining site, helping it meet or exceed current environmental and safety standards.
