sustainably power our Cerro Negro mine in Argentina. Company-wide, our emissions have been trending downward on a per-ounce or intensity basis since 2013. We have done that, in part, by reducing our reliance on diesel – which takes me to an exciting development at one of our newest projects.BORDEN GOES ELECTRICAt Goldcorp, we believe the days of diesel use for underground mining equipment are numbered. The announcement of our plan to develop an all-electric site at our Borden mine in Ontario, Canada, was groundbreaking in the industry, but we see it as a logical way to significantly reduce the mine’s environmental footprint. To make this vision a reality, we are teaming up with Sandvik Mining and MacLean Engineering to provide battery-powered underground vehicles for almost all of the requirements at the site. Our new mining technology will range from battery-operated drilling and blasting equipment, to electric bolters, personnel carriers and ultimately 40-metric-tonne, battery-powered haul trucks.Goldcorp’s battery and electric mobile equipment will eliminate all greenhouse gases associated with the movement of ore and waste rock – equal to Above: Goldcorp is developing an all-electric site at its Borden mine in Ontario, Canada“WE BELIEVE THE DAYS OF DIESEL USE FOR UNDERGROUND MINING EQUIPMENT ARE NUMBERED”
