The Sullivan Mine, located in Kimberley, British Columbia, was a major producer of lead, zinc and silver that operated from 1909-2001. For nearly 100 years, the Sullivan Mine was critical to the social and economic fabric of the community. At the time of closure, the Sullivan Mine was the largest single contributor to Kimberley’s tax base and the city’s largest employer.

在运营期间，沙利文每年平均雇用1000名员工。今天许多前员工及其家人仍然居住在今天的金伯利。

在关闭之前，Teck的前任Cominco和许多社区合作伙伴聚集在一起，制定一个过渡到经济依赖的计划。本集团通过修复矿山的一部分来利用自然景观，气候和地点来维护社区的活力。

自矿井关闭以来已经过去了20年。在那个时候，金伯利已经从矿业社区转变为蓬勃发展的旅游和退休目的地。社区仍然充满活力和成功。

我们的第一个优先事项是我们团队，家人，邻居和我们社区所有访客的健康和安全。经过近100年的积极采矿，我们的团队致力于对该网站的持续负责管理。Sullivan Mine的现有员工，承包商和供应商管理财产，监控关闭条件，并经营现场基础设施，如水管理和治疗系统。

我们也在维持强大的社区伙伴关系方面非常骄傲。我们很幸运能够在金伯利和周边地区生活，工作和游戏，很高兴成为这个繁荣的社区的一部分。

沙利文矿山在1892年被发现。矿井grew with the City of Kimberley, named in the hope that it would be as rich as the diamond mines in Kimberley, South Africa. The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, a Teck predecessor company, acquired the mine in 1909.

In the early 1900s, the mine operated on a very small scale as the ore was hard to handle and separation of lead and silver was entirely by hand. The mine could only produce about 50 tonnes of lead per day, and the zinc-rich fragments were discarded as waste.

到1922年,该公司是第一个在world to commercialize differential froth flotation, a revolutionary process that made the recovery of zinc economical. This resulted in the construction of an on-site concentrator and had a profound impact on the mine’s growth. By 1949, the Sullivan had a capacity of 11,000 tonnes per day.

Additional operations were constructed during various stages of the mine’s life to utilize the resources and diversify products, providing added financial stability to the mine and the community. These operations included a tin plant (1942-1985), a fertilizer plant (1953-1971), an iron plant (1960-1971) and a steel plant (1966-1971). The deposits were also rich in indium, which helped the operations in Trail become one of the largest producers of indium in the world.

Over its lifetime, from 1909-2001, the Sullivan Mine produced 26 million tonnes of lead, zinc and silver concentrates. By the time the Sullivan Mine closed in 2001, it had become one of the largest underground mines in Canada with almost 500 kilometres of tunnels.

沙利文矿真正拥有深刻而迷人的历史。We encourage you to visit the Kimberley Mine Museum, located in Kimberley’s Platzl, where you can learn more about the history of the Sullivan Mine and Kimberley, as well as ride the Kimberley Underground Mining Railway, which provides guests the opportunity to enjoy a guided train tour through the historic Lower Mine area and experience a demonstration of underground mining.

自20世纪60年代以来，环境管理一直在推进，并在启动排雷计划时正在进行一些研究计划。这些计划包括：

• Characterization of the chemical and physical properties of the mine and mill wastes

• Construction of a high-density sludge water treatment plant (1979)

• 用于尾矿池和废物垃圾箱的封顶的不同工程覆盖设计的测试曲线

• Selection of plant species and fertilizer requirements for future revegetation of waste rock areas

到1990年，已确认沙利文矿山的储备将于2001年耗尽，并制定了详细的闭幕计划。举行了30多个社区和利益攸关方会议，审查和评述拟议的填海计划。与公众的会议开始于1992年，形成沙利文公共联络委员会（SPLC）。综合委员会包括当地政府机构，省和联邦部委，当地钢铁工会，当地部落委员会，金伯利市，市民，公众和东吉诺环境学会。

tworked with the SPLC and others to develop a plan to transition the city away from economic dependence on the mine. Working together, Teck and its community partners sought ways to maintain the vitality of the community by re-purposing portions of the mine to capitalize on the natural landscape, climate and location – all uniquely suited to attract a vibrant tourist trade.

Site Reclamation

回收研究开始于1972年，其中包括确定如何将废岩倾倒和尾矿池转化为生产森林和牧场。逐步填海始于1990年，并继续通过矿井关闭。废岩倾卸和尾矿池已经重新塑造，盖住渗透率，直到层（生长培养基），并用农艺种子混合种植以减少侵蚀。再训练过程还包括种植树木和灌木。该网站具有物理稳定，其外观得到了大大提高。

再生土地现在支持充满活力的悬崖，随着植被成熟的含量增加的物种多样性。总的来说，Teck已经回收了1,000公顷的土地，花了超过1亿美元的执行矿山的关闭计划。在不用于挖掘的城市内的其他Teck拥有的房产已经捐赠或销售，以帮助Kimberley社区实现关闭后的成功。Sullivan Mine的回收后环境中存在许多明显和有益的变化，包括增加物种数量和各种野生动物种群的大小。Teck继续监测回收性能，并增强本地树和灌木群岛，以促进网站上的栖息地生物多样性。

水Protection

自20世纪60年代以来，管理和保护地表水和地下水质量的环境控制已经到位。自20世纪70年代以来，马克克里克和圣玛丽因实施水收集和治疗策略而导致的水质指标以及圣玛丽，我们不断监测和追求现场系统的改进。我们很荣幸被认可2020 BC Mine Reclamation Award for Outstanding Reclamation Achievementby The British Columbia Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation for our ongoing efforts to protect water quality at the former Sullivan Mine site.

tfacilitated employee transition planning and worked with the city to accelerate development and diversification initiatives to give the City of Kimberley a foundation upon which it could build its future. Out of the general focus on social and economic sustainability arose two primary projects aimed at productively repurposing the Sullivan Mine. The first component was the development of a golf and ski resort that could help mitigate the impact of lost mining revenues on the city. The second was providing land for residential real estate.

将土地销售为城市的土地，明显不到公平的市场价值，以发展两项冠军高尔夫球场，涓涓细流溪高尔夫球场和盗版差距高尔夫球场，并为第三个，金伯利高尔夫俱乐部的翻新提供了经济援助。在当地滑雪俱乐部不再能够运行它时，Teck还提出了重大贡献，以促进在城市管理下实现的现有滑雪山。除了捐赠原来滑雪山的土地外，Teck还帮助城市扩大并改善了它。

The appeal of these resort offerings was further enhanced by a number of pre-mine closure contributions Teck made to Kimberley’s recreational capacity, including building the Civic Arena, as well as a curling rink, two outdoor pools and the Cominco Gardens, a five-hectare property of natural trails featuring over 45,000 flowers blooming annually.

通过与开发商的合资企业，通过开发商的合资企业，住宅房地产开发所需的土地销售到正在寻找度假型环境的人员所需的土地。trecognized the need to increase the city’s population to support the new markets, so they arranged for a ‘land swap’ between the city – which owned a parcel of land that was well suited for real estate development – and Teck – which owned a parcel of parkland the city was interested in obtaining. This ‘land swap’ facilitated the construction of seasonal and permanent residences marketed to out-of-town buyers.

水management and treatment will continue indefinitely at the Sullivan Mine site to ensure protection of the area’s water resources. Major improvements have been made in receiving water quality and we continue to seek innovative solutions.

我们屡获殊荣的水管理和治疗活动包括来自地下工作和废物设施的雷米水的收集。管理系统包括25多个泵和30公里的管道，以收集水并将其传送到位于Marysville西南部的排水水处理厂。这些系统被不断监测，维持和升级，并正在进行研究长期管理水的替代方法。近期升级的例子包括Gerry Sorensen的地下水收集系统和下矿院子里，自2016年以来，Teck已经花费了超过400万美元的升级。

排水水处理厂具有高密度污泥处理过程。在1979年建设时，这一创新过程是世界上第一个。该技术现已万博手机版注册账号用于各地的新地矿，其中需要水处理。在1到300万立方米之间（mm^3.）每年对水进行治疗。对于上下文，一百万立方米是400个奥林匹克尺寸的游泳池。我们正在积极追求新技术进行水处理，包括被认为是“被动”的生物处理系统，并依赖于自然过程来清洁水。

Notice of Offsite Migration

沙利文矿的历史业务影响了来自前矿山的地下水。大多数受影响的地下水直接位于Teck Sullivan属性下面;然而，一些受影响的地下水已经迁移到金伯利城市范围内外的周围地区。受影响的财产所有者已收到异地地下水迁移的通知。Teck一直在治疗和监测受矿泥受影响的水40多年，并与B.C密切合作。环境和气候变化部改变其目前的地下水管理和修复计划。

Kimberley周围众多常规水监测位置的监测和取样结果表明，随着时间的推移，水质的显着改善，水管理和治疗系统的运作将进一步减少受影响的水中受影响的水的迁移。Sullivan的员工和环境专家团队定期监测环境条件，并致力于改善水管理系统，以确保水质继续改善，并且没有不可接受的风险与水生生命带来了不可接受的风险。

tis committed to working with our local community to ensure concerns are addressed and that our long-term remediation plans align with expectations of our valued community members. The Sullivan Mine team invited Kimberley property owners and other interested parties to attend online information sessions in December. Meeting participants received information about the Sullivan’s history as well as the ongoing operations and maintenance initiatives at the site. One of the main goals of the sessions was to discuss the recent Notice of Offsite Groundwater Migration sent to a number of area property owners in December 2020. Feedback and questions received during the sessions will help guide topics for future meetings. For example, technical sessions will be held in the first quarter of 2021 to provide additional information about groundwater migration, remediation, environmental management, and the risk management plan.

下面包含常见问题的摘要。沙利文团队打算继续谈话，以帮助保持地区居民，房地产所有者和其他感兴趣的利益相关者在网站上通知关闭后的活动。有关未来会议的信息将在本网站上提供，并在金伯利地区进行广告。

自2001年关闭以来，SULLIVAN矿根据监管要求，Teck自己的标准和加拿大采矿协会的标准进行了精心管理。员工和承包商需要监控关闭后的条件并经营现场基础设施，例如水管理和治疗系统。环境和气候变化部和能源部，矿山和石油资源部提供监管监督，环境和岩土管理监测和报告要求由这些机构发布的许可，以确保满足闭幕目标。

沙利文矿拥有超过20名员工和承包商。额外的承包商和顾问也经常在现场进行环境和岩土工程监测，监控填海工厂，管理侵入性植物，完整的林业界面为消防保护，并完成升级到现场基础架构。我们有一个积极的综合管理计划，并继续努力解决在网站上有100多年积极采矿的挑战。沙利文矿的办公室还拥有员工和承包商，他们管理加拿大的其他Teck遗留网站。

大量的Teck员工，以及承包商和供应商在金伯利生活和工作，为现在封闭的Sullivan Mine提供了持续的负责任的管理。我们的团队在维护强大的社区伙伴关系方面取得了骄傲。

阳光

Teck扩大了其在娱乐设施和房地产的后矿业社区投资，当时它与太阳能开发商和金伯利市合作，以建造Sunmine，这是Sullivan Land的试点太阳能电池板项目和加拿大西部的第一家太阳能电厂连接电网。

阳光is truly a community endeavor. The City of Kimberley initially co-financed and owned SunMine while Teck provided the land and donated $2 million to the project. In January 2020,Teck宣布购买阳光来自金伯利市。BC Hydro购买太阳能发电。

从阳光产生的电力用于抵消Sullivan矿井的电力需求，并将任何剩余能量添加到网格中。在新闻稿宣布购买时，Teck表示，“阳光的发展与Teck的与利益相关者合作开展采矿后的土地使用，从野生动物栖息地到经济多样化。”Teck还在寻求其他机会最大化阳光设施，并调查Sullivan Mine和其他Teck操作的更新能源技术。

土地管理
tcontinues to maintain over 3,000 hectares of private property in and around the City of Kimberley. Most of this land base is forested, and management activities include invasive plant treatments, forest management, and ongoing agreements with local organizations. Outside city limits, Teck has worked with conservancy groups and the Crown since the late 1990s to establish the Wycliffe Conservation Complex, a 1,000-hectare corridor that links the St. Mary River to Crown land in the north.

2018年，Teck捐赠了60万美元的加拿大自然保护，为这些土地创造了持续的管理基金。与保护群体合作，Teck目前允许有限娱乐获得邻近保护土地附近的大约450公顷的土地。森林管理是土地管理的一个重要方面，以减少金伯利及其周围地区的野火风险，每年均为30到了50公顷的森林土地。治疗包括在森林内除去梯子;这些燃料通常是小直径的树木和低分支。这项活动打开了森林地板，让灌木丛和落叶植物蓬勃发展。治疗后，森林生态系统得到改善，野火危害大大减少。此外，侵入性植物治疗常规地在矿井周围施用，以及金伯利周围的其他特性。2019年，与森林皇冠周围的Teck土地与Nupqu开发公司合作，而该地区现在是经常库存和治疗的一部分。

In 2019, Teck partnered with the Kimberley Trail Society (KTS) to formalize the use and maintenance of popular hiking and mountain biking trails located on Teck property within Kimberley city limits. Teck is also a Platinum sponsor of the KTS to ensure that these trails are kept safe and fun for years to come.
