SRC's Project CLEANS (Cleanup of Abandoned Northern Sites) team reached a significant milestone with the ongoing remediation of 37 abandoned uranium mine and mill sites in northern Saskatchewan.

Fourteen Satellite Sites are ready for release from decommissioning and reclamation as a result of the work the team has completed. This is an important step in the process towards transferring the sites to Saskatchewan's Institutional Control Program.

Congratulations to the Project CLEANS team for reaching this milestone and their dedication to the project!

Science is part of everyday life, even when you don't realize it.

The roads we travel, the electricity that powers our homes, the clean water we depend on and the natural resources that support our economy all rely on research, testing and innovation. At SRC, our scientists and engineers work behind the scenes to help industries and communities solve complex challenges that make a difference across Saskatchewan.

Because great science doesn't just happen in a lab. It helps shape the world around us.

Long before a mine begins producing the resources we rely on every day, countless decisions have already been made.

Will the ore respond to processing as expected? Which technologies will help recover the most value? How can environmental impacts be minimized?

Through pilot testing, mineral processing expertise and analytical services, SRC helps industry answer these critical questions before major investments are made, reducing risk and supporting more informed decisions.

Learn how science helps move mining projects forward with confidence.
