Sustainability

At IOC we are committed to becoming a premier mining organization in North America. To achieve this goal, the way we do our work every day at IOC is just as important as the work that we deliver. Our commitment to health, safety, environment and communities (HSEC) is fundamental to how we do business.

Land

Producing the materials the world needs requires access to land. However, mines are finite, and as temporary custodians of the land, we need to consider the end right from the very start—planning and operating with the future in mind.

IOC has implemented an Integrated Land Management (ILM) and Disturbance Procedure along with an internal permit. As part of this initiative, the Environment Department compiled and integrated 10–20 years of baseline surveys and geospatial biodiversity data, including cultural, socioeconomic, and environmental datasets for Labrador City, the QNS&L Railway, and Sept-Îles, into a centralized database linked to a Geographic Information System (GIS). This geospatial database is updated annually to incorporate the most recent coordinates, surveys, and relevant site information.

A single scope of work may involve multiple land management and disturbance-related activities, potentially requiring permits at the Federal, Provincial, and/or Municipal levels, as well as consultation with relevant stakeholders, and the ILM and internal permit ensure the business remains compliant with all stakeholder requirements.

These integrated tools streamline land management and disturbance-related activities by offering valuable insights to support operational and project planning, as well as improving engagement with external stakeholders such as governments, communities, and Indigenous rights holders. Designed to promote the responsible and sustainable stewardship of IOC properties, the programme also helps minimize disturbances in areas requiring special attention, including sensitive habitats, permitted work zones, and cultural heritage sites.

Enhanced Sustainable Rehabilitation Initiative: A comprehensive site-wide approach
In recent years, IOC has embarked on a major initiative to progressively rehabilitate several hectares of waste rock dumps on our mine site. The initiative goes beyond mere restoration, embracing a holistic approach to environmental excellence. The rehabilitation process involves re-sloping the land, applying organic substrates, and carefully seeding various types of plants to kickstart the ecological succession process. Fostering successful plant growth not only mitigates erosion but also reintroduces vital nutrients into the soil, facilitating the resurgence of local flora and fauna and restoring a natural landscape. At IOC, we rigorously assess the effectiveness of our rehabilitation efforts. Through comprehensive agronomic assessments, we evaluate plant coverage, diversity, and height, as well as overall soil health. This ensures that our rehabilitation efforts are effective and sustainable in the long term. IOC is dedicated to maintaining this proactive approach, regularly assessing and fine-tuning our rehabilitation strategies to reintegrate disturbed lands into the ecosystem, fostering biodiversity and restoring ecological balance.

Progressive rehabilitation
In 2024, we have rehabilitated a total of 30.4 hectares across several mine sites, 23.4 of which were allocated to the progressive closure of the Lorraine waste rock dump. Slopes were reduced to no more than 20 degrees where possible and covered with till or topsoil in preparation for the ecological restoration phase, which involved broadcast seeding. The revegetation of the Spooks Waste rock dump was completed in summer 2024. The work will be monitored over several years to ensure that the slopes are stable and that the plants continue to grow successfully. A tailings disposal area was rehabilitated in 2024, which will also help reduce dust generation in the operational tailings areas.
