How Some of the Top Companies Decreasing Net Zero Emissiions With the world moving toward net-zero carbon emissions, the U.S. just pledged to greenhouse gas emission by nearly half over the next 10 years. “That’s where we’re headed as a nation, and that’s what we can do if we take action to build an economy that’s not only more prosperous but healthier, fairer and cleaner for the entire planet,” said President Biden, as quoted by The White House. “These steps will set America on a path of net-zero emissions economy by no later than 2050.” In an effort to help, many companies have become far more committed to low carbon emissions, including Windfall Geotek Inc. (TSXV:WIN) (OTC:WINKF)(FSE:L7C2), Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (CSE:CMC)(OTC:CWSFF), Exro Technologies Inc. (TSXV:EXRO)(OTC:EXROF), Solar Alliance Energy Inc. (TSXV:SOLR)(OTC:SAENF), and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA).

Windfall Geotek just announced the Wachigabu Copper & Gold Property in the La Ronde Township located in the Chibougamau-Matagami archean greenstone belt is available for option. This property has been developed using digital methods that limit greenhouse gas emissions. Where emissions were generated, these have been mitigated through purchasing carbon offsets.
Dinesh Kandanchatha, Chairman & Interim CEO commented: “Last Friday CNN reported that the Biden administration has committed to cut US carbon emissions by 52% before 2030. Windfall has been leading the field of low carbon exploration since our first project in 2005. I expect that we are going to see all market participants be required to demonstrate they have made the necessary investments to meet society’s commodity requirements in a carbon neutral way. Our Wachigabau Lake property is the next step on our decade long low- carbon emission journey.”
Location, Access and Infrastructure of the Chapais Property:
- The Wachigabu Lake Property is located 40 km east of Desmaraisville and 60 km southwest of Chapais

Geological & Historical context
- The Wachigabau Lake property lies within the Southern band (Caopatina Segment) of the Chibougamau-Matagami archean greenstone belt.
- The Caopatina Segment is a volcano-sedimentary rock assemblage composed of two principal formations: the Obatogamau formation, a vast plain of tholeiitic basalts with a few mafic to felsic volcanic centers, and the Caopatina formation, an overlying sedimentary sequence. These formations are part of the lower volcanic cycle of the Roy Group.
The region hosts rich mineral deposits such as:
- the Shortt Lake gold mine which is 12 km northwest of the property. Shortt Lake Reserves are 2,694,920 t at 4.59 g/t Au (GM 59755).
- Mariposite deposit, located 6 km Northwest of the property, with reserves of 700,000 t at 2.0 g/t Au for the Mariposite zone and more than 2,000,000 t at 1.0 g/t Au for the west zone (GM 59755).
- 2018 IP Survey identified a total of 152 individual IP anomalies, further grouped as 52 chargeable lineaments.
Nathan Tribble P.Geo, Director commented: “The Chibougamau-Matagami region is well known for its abundance of precious metals with many big players in the area. This project is part of a new generation of mining projects that seek to chart a new path in the resource sectors relative greenhouse gas emissions. The existing infrastructure and digital exploration techniques of Windfall should mitigate Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon impact while still creating the potential for a copper, zinc and gold resource.”
