On May 4, 2021, the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation recognized BC mining companies with the best records in health and safety measures at the virtual 59th annual Mine Safety Awards.

Wining the John Ash Award an outstanding accomplishment, but more importantly, the workforce achieved an incredible milestone of completing an entire calendar year, 1.4 million person hours worked, without a loss time incident.
