TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Glencore's Kidd operations and Raglan mine were recognised by the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) on Monday, receiving Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) excellence awards at the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) awards gala, in Vancouver.

According to MAC, Glencore's innovative projects raised the bar for corporate responsibility in the Canadian mining sector.

The MAC awarded Glencore's Raglan nickel mine, in the Nunavik region of northern Quebec, with the 2016 TSM Environmental Excellence Award for its successful use of renewable energy with its wind turbine and accompanying storage facility, the largest in the province.

Glencore's Kidd operations received the 2016 TSM Community Engagement Excellence Award for helping local nonprofits secure long-term sustainability through its community partnerships programme in Timmins, Ontario.

"We congratulate Glencore's Raglan mine and Kidd operations for sweeping this year's TSM excellence awards. The awards recognise the company's leadership in taking emerging environmental technologies and social practices and successfully implementing them at the site-level, paving the way for the wider industry," stated MAC president and CEO Pierre Gratton.
