OTTAWA, Nov. 29, 2016 /CNW/ - BluMetric Environmental Inc.
(TSX-V: BLM) has initiated more than $2.2 million in recent contracts for work based in Northern Ontario, Nunavut, NWT, and the Yukon, including a $1.03 million contract for Harte Gold to design, supply, and
install a mine-water treatment system for the Sugar Zone Project near Hemlo, Ontario, which starts
immediately with anticipated commissioning in Spring of 2017.
The contract wins offer a clear indication of the strength and range of BluMetric's environmental solutions for clients dealing
with extreme climates, complex treatment issues, and remote regions.
The Harte Gold mine-water treatment system will treat ammonia using a state-of-the-art resin exchange system, in addition to
more conventional metals treatment. With a depth of expertise that enables it to innovate and customize solutions for
specific client needs, BluMetric is very active in all stages of the analysis, planning, construction, and execution of wastewater
solutions as well as the provision of specialized hydrology, hydrogeology, occupational health and safety, and other development
and compliance services for mining clients domestically and abroad.
"The Harte Gold project fits precisely into our strategy of developing situationally tailored mine-water treatment systems for
use in challenging environments that are often compounded by complex water chemistry," said Dan
Scroggins, BluMetric's VP of Research and Innovation. "Ammonia from runoff and mine dewatering is a significant
obstacle for mine developers and operators, and BluMetric is very well positioned to help mining clients successfully and
cost-effectively face these challenges."
The remaining new contracts vary in technology area, business line, and client sector, with the majority involving work in
environmental engineering, industrial hygiene, waste management, and contaminated site/building assessment and remediation.
Clients include all levels of government and their agents – from federal and territorial to Inuit and First Nations communities, as
well as private entities – and they are situated in northern Ontario, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and the Yukon.
"The level and extent of the contract wins we are experiencing demonstrate broad demand and prove the strategic sense of our
northern focus," said Roger Woeller, CEO of BluMetric. "With a long-term presence in
Yellowknife, a newly strengthened team in Whitehorse, and ready
access to Nunavut, BluMetric's reach continues to expand and we are able to provide our
high-quality service and solutions in Canada's most remote and difficult sites."
