Barrick Goldstrike Mines - 16 years of Air Quality

Since 1988, Air Sciences and Barrick Goldstrike Mines have worked together on air quality issues including permitting, ambient monitoring, compliance for hundreds of sources, and several modifications and expansions. Sources range from ore mining to ore refining and include drilling, basting, hauling, crushing, grinding, autoclaving, roasting, cyanide leaching, carbon stripping and regenerating, electrowinning, retorting, and furnace refining.

In addition, Air Sciences and Barrick Goldstrike Mines have worked with the Nevada Mining Association to affect rule changes specific to the mining industry. These changes have clarified many regulations and simplified mine-related monitoring, reporting, and compliance requirements.
