Working toward a sustainable future the key to a healthy mining industry
Launching a new start-up company with a very niche potential client base is a risky venture at the best of times. Launching an environmental consulting business in a crowded space focusing on the mining industry is another challenge altogether. Then again, Kati McCartney and the team at FROSKR have always been more than happy to accept a challenge, especially when it comes to moving the mining industry into the future.
According to McCartney, there are four phases to the mining lifecycle. There is the exploration and feasibility phase, the planning and construction phase, and the infrastructure and resources phase involved in the actual mining operation. Finally, there is the mine closure phase which includes reclamation and regreening of the surrounding area. FROSKR is a company that offers environmental consulting expertise during all phases of a mine’s lifecycle.
“Mining is invasive. There’s no way to get around it,” she said. “Full stop, there is no world, no society without mining. For those protesters who don’t support mining, their posters don’t get printed without a printer, and printers are made from mined metals and minerals. It feels overwhelming. It feels impossible, but what we do at FROSKR is advocate for change. We have that optimism and hope because we see the changes and industry shifts happening in real-time.
FROSKR also prioritizes supporting First Nations in the region where mining projects and extractive activities are happening on their traditional lands.
