03 Junho 2021 - 9:00AM
Falco Resources Ltd. (FPC: TSX-V) (“Falco” or
the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the release of its
sustainability report (the “Report”), providing an overview of the
Corporation’s environmental, social and governance ("ESG")
strategies, policies, and commitments, and highlighting the
progress made in relation to its activities in Québec, including
its flagship Horne 5 Project, located in Rouyn-Noranda,
Canada.
Luc Lessard, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Corporation commented: “Sustainable development is
an intrinsic value at Falco which influences our business plans and
decision-making processes. It is an integral part to the
development of our Horne 5 Project and we are invested in
developing our approach using local expertise by promoting
innovation as well as by increasing collaborations with our
stakeholders. Recognizing the importance of the circular economy
for the optimization of the use of resources, we are already
integrating this approach into the planning and design of our Horne
5 Project, particularly in our management of tailings, waste rock
and water.”
Hélène Cartier, Vice President Environment and
Sustainable Development commented: “Our Report shows that with our
innovative approach, attentive listening and desire to minimize
environmental and social impacts, our team is committed to
developing a mine that is well integrated and in harmony with its
environment and community. Our ESG initiatives reinforce our
commitment to enhance our environmental values and continue to
maintain high levels of transparency and governance with our
stakeholders. With a focus on our local community and a global
vision, Falco aims to create a mine of the future, hoping it will
contribute to transforming the mining industry.”
Highlights of the Report include our commitment
to:
- Protecting air quality by
implementing innovative air emissions abatement measures and
equipment to filter more than 98% of the mine air emissions.
- Preserving the noise climate by
installing our mine’s ventilation underground.
- Promoting biodiversity by limiting
the impact on wildlife through the adjustment of the schedule of
activities, in order to protect the fish habitat and endangered
species such as the common nighthawk and certain bat species;
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
by:
- implementing the electrification of our vehicle fleet and
mining equipment;
- using electricity for heating installations instead of natural
gas;
- using rail transport rather than
truck transport, when possible.
- Protecting the watershed by
- using double-walled conduits for
the transportation of mine tailings and recycled water, preventing
spillage;
- installing instrumented and
state-of-the-art leak retention systems;
- optimizing our fresh water
consumption.

website and social media platforms.About Falco
