Earth Alive to apply fertilizer at Tata Steel mine site EARTH ALIVE ENTERS INTO COLLABORATION WITH TATA STEEL CANADA FOR SOIL REGENERATION ACTIVITIES USING ITS SOIL ACTIVATOR MICROBIAL FERTILIZER
Earth Alive Clean Technologies Inc. will initiate an application program of the company's Soil Activator at the Tata Steel Minerals Canada (TSMC) Sherfferville mining site.
This strategic soil reclamation project with TSMC aims to demonstrate the ability of Soil Activator to facilitate the revegetation of disturbed soils by mining operations.
Michael Warren, vice-president of the Ag division of Earth Alive, stated: "There is a growing concern regarding the ecological integrity of disturbed mining lands around the world. Revegetating these soils reduces erosion and re-establishes biodiversity. The application of Earth Alive's Soil Activator will help mining sites restore the soil and help to reintroduce biological activity, nutrient cycling and conserve soil moisture."
"Using both our EA1 dust control technology and our Soil Activator fertilizer technology in one ecosystem represents a unique opportunity to expand our relationship with TSMC (see company press release dated Nov. 23, 2016). This soil reclamation project is perfectly aligned with our company's mission of improving the economic benefits of using environmentally sustainable practices in global mining and agricultural operations," said David Gilmour, chief executive officer of Earth Alive. "The successful outcome of this program is far reaching and has significant potential economic, environmental and health benefits for both the mining companies and the communities in which they operate around the world."
