Toronto-listed BluMetric Environmental has won a contract to carry out ground water and surface water analysis for “a Tier 1 mining client in northern Ontario”, the company said.

The environmental characterisation and engineering services contract, with one of BluMetric’s existing Ontario mining clients, is valued at approximately C$3 million ($2.3 million) over two-and-a-half years.

BluMetric said the contract will address the management of water at two adjoining facilities and, based on environmental and economic factors, preferred alternatives will be recommended to carry forward to design and construction.

Scott MacFabe, CEO of BluMetric, said: “Our team leveraged our extensive experience, including that gained from having recently completed similar engineering projects at nearby mining-related facilities, to develop a winning, cost effective proposal.

“This important client continues to show trust in BluMetric’s capabilities to address their water management issues, underscoring our ability to reliably and economically meet customers’ ongoing needs through an increasingly diverse array of products, services and competencies.”

BluMetric continues to expand its mining sector capabilities, particularly with respect to engineered solutions and care and maintenance activities, which led to the recent opening of an office in Thunder Bay.

The company calls itself a publicly-traded cleantech company with expertise across disciplines and technologies that “allow for the design and delivery of sustainable solutions to environmental challenges”.
