Held annually in Vancouver, the BC ML/ARD Workshop brings together practitioners, researchers, regulators, and community representatives from across Canada and abroad to share knowledge and practical experience in addressing challenges related to metal leaching and acid rock drainage.
This year’s workshop will highlight new insights from field-scale studies, operational performance monitoring, and innovative mine waste and water management practices. The event provides an opportunity for open dialogue among professionals committed to advancing responsible mine closure and environmental management.
