Staying on the cutting edge of mine materials management
Mining projects can generate millions of tons of materials with no economic value, like tailings and waste rock. If not managed or properly controlled, these materials can have adverse impacts on the environment. Find out how Ecometrix is using deep industry insight and cutting-edge tools to help clients leave a legacy everyone can be proud of.

MineMod: An ever-evolving water body solution
The development of our proprietary software MineMod™ started with one question: Can we build an application to better model a site’s water balance and predict water quality for a series of water bodies? Now, it’s helping mine managers make strategic decisions at every point of a mine's lifecycle.

Our work is driven by Environmental Intelligence™ and the four principles of TASC. Thought, the first of those principles, is about taking the time to envision a client’s strategy from start to finish.
