783 million (1 in 9) people do not have access to clean water, and it is projected that two thirds of humanity will live in water-stressed areas by 2025. Nearly 1 out of every 5 deaths under the age of 5 worldwide is due to a water-related disease. Gaining a better understanding of how water impacts political and social stability around the globe and knowing how to solve these problems is vital to addressing the growing water crisis.

For any mining operation, effective wastewater treatment to remove contaminants is an indispensable step needed to minimize environmental impacts and maintain the mine’s social license to operate. When elevated concentrations of ammonia and residual cyanide by-products were detected in mill effluent at Éléonore in 2014, the mill and environmental team took decisive action by introducing a novel wastewater treatment process that rectified the problem and secured Éléonore a Global Excellence Award for Sustainability Stewardship.
