fully renewable fully electric
Snow Lake has entered into the feasibility studies stage of the project and is moving quickly towards production to meet the demand of the green energy era.
Recent Government initiatives and focus has been on moving to a renewable economy that is energy independent. Snow Lake’s Manitoba location, as well as their 97%+ renewable power source (Manitoba Hydro) allows them to be a fully electric mine, from a renewable source, to provide the cleanest lithium to power North America’s future.
The cornerstone of the project philosophy will be to design and operate an all-electric based mining operation similar to other projects that Epiroc has been involved in through their company Meglab (the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mine).
Newmont Goldcorp and dignitaries from across Ontario inaugurated the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Gold Project, which is being hailed as “mine of the future.” The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ mine, located near Chapleau, Ontario, features state of-the-art health and safety controls, digital mining technologies and processes, and low-carbon energy vehicles - all anchored in a mutually beneficial partnership with local communities. Epiroc/Meglab were an integral part of the design and construction of this project as well as many others.
