Loading ...Newmont Goldcorp (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT) has begun commercial production at its all-electric underground Borden gold mine, located near Chapleau, Ontario, about 160 km west of the company’s Porcupine mine.
Borden, or “the mine of the future” as the world’s largest gold miner has promoted it, uses an electricity and battery-powered underground fleet.
The vehicles are expected to eliminate all greenhouse gases (GHGs) associated with diesel-based equipment and the movement of ore and waste rock, equal to roughly 50% of the total GHGs on site, or 5,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
