Harte Gold is committed to respecting the natural environment, maintaining strong community partnerships, and putting the health and safety of our employees first. Zero Harm is both a goal and a journey.
People are the core of our success. Our values and guiding principles are safety as our #1 priority, family, honesty, integrity, hard work, respect, and encouraging new ideas and creativity.
Harte Gold focuses on operational improvements, advancement of engineering practices and continuous improvement to lower the risks associated with on-going projects while ensuring the health and safety of all stakeholders and adherence to all applicable regulations.
To achieve our Zero Harm vision, and to maintain a safe and healthy work environment for our employees, management has worked diligently alongside our workforce to build safety systems and promote a safety culture on site. This culture supports and creates safe behaviors and practices that become a natural part of our daily tasks, both at work and home.
Fostering a culture of environmental responsibility and stewardship is important for protecting the natural environment, and we are committed to operating our facility within federal and provincial regulations, and fulfilling our commitments to First Nations.
Harte Gold is set amongst the Algoma district in Northwestern Ontario, surrounded by the boreal forest, with an abundance of freshwater lakes and rivers. The Algoma district is known for its rugged beauty, provincial parks, wildlife, and fishing and hunting experiences. Common wildlife around the Harte Gold site include moose, black bears, fox, lynx, wolves, and birds of prey.
To ensure our environmental goals are achieved, Harte Gold’s Environmental Department provides a variety of training and awareness programs to educate employees about the importance of environmental stewardship and foster a meaningful environmental culture at site. We maintain a positive relationship with Ministry personnel and ensure all steps are taken to remain in compliance with government regulations.
Working proactively with all our neighbours is very important in ensuring that the development of our mine is a win-win venture for all stakeholders. Harte Gold works with several neighbouring communities to foster direct and indirect employment and training opportunities, as well as to identify and generate business opportunities and economic spin-offs. Harte Gold also has an IIBA agreement with the local Pic Mobert First Nation community.
Harte Gold Stakeholder engagement is important to executing our multi-year growth plan while maintaining the highest standards of environmental, social and governance performance.
