13 Jan 2025 Rio Tinto Fer et Titane inc.Rio Tinto Fer et Titane: 2 million CAD fine for nickel-bearing and acidic mine effluent €1.36m
At the Lac Tio mine near Havre-Saint-Pierre, there were nickel exceedances in 2023 after severed power cables disabled the effluent treatment, untreated acidic discharges in the summer, and a failure to take samples after an unauthorised discharge. The company pleaded guilty to eight counts and is paying 2 million CAD into the Environmental Damages Fund.
Failures of effluent treatment must be covered by emergency plans and documented through the required sampling.
