About the Award
The Hatch–CIM Mining and Minerals Project Development Safety Award was established in 2012 to recognize and reward projects with outstanding safety systems and performance. The award focuses on the safety culture and results at a mine and/or processing plant and its infrastructure during the development and construction phases of a project.
The winner will be announced in May 2025, at the CIM Convention Award Gala in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
