Since 2018, Khione Resources recruits a summer seasonal crew to assist with the ongoing closure and remediation of the Snap Lake Mine site. Crews are flown into the Snap Lake Camp to carry out a variety of essential environmental and site restoration tasks, including water testing, water pumping, mine equipment removal, and general site cleanup.
Khione plays a key role in the Snap Lake remediation program through scarification and re-vegetation efforts across the mine site, helping to restore the area to its natural state. Our crews assist with excavation of former mining pits and facilities, equipment relocation, and site scarification to promote healthy re-vegetation. Environmental Technicians and Assistants support re-vegetation initiatives by planting seedlings, monitoring water quality and observing local wildlife to ensure the site is restored to its natural habitat.
Khione’s major project for 10 years has been supplying workers to help operate the Seasonal Winter Road for Gahcho Kué Mine, which runs anywhere from January to April. During this period, Khione hires a large team of seasonal workers to help keep the Winter Road running safely and efficiently. The road plays a vital role in transporting ore, fuel, construction materials, heavy equipment, and other essential supplies to-and-from Gahcho Kué. Khione recruits up to 45 skilled seasonal positions to ensure operations run smoothly throughout the season. The Winter Road season offers a unique and rewarding opportunity for northern workers to gain hands-on experience in the mining industry to work alongside experienced professionals and be apart of a project that plays a vital role in the Territories’ economy.
Khione has proudly supported Gahcho Kué Mine on a wide range of projects during peak operational periods. Through our strong recruitment network, Khione provides up to 30 skilled and general labourers to meet work demands to over 6 De Beers environmental programs at Gahcho Kué.
Khione has successfully recruited and deployed drillers, heavy equipment operators, haul truck drivers, dispatchers, environmental technicians, administrative clerks, warehouse personnel, and general labourers to meet project requirements.
We've placed and maintained hundreds of positions for Snap Lake Care across 16+ categories, from general labourers to trained medics and electricians. Whether we have been tasked with care of a mine site or to complete a fish-out at a northern lake, we consistently deliver success.
Other Surge Labour programs Khione crews have tackled include Winter Road Caribou Monitoring, Spring Freshet, Vegetation/Brush Clearing, and Bird Nesting Mitigation. We work with De Beers and local Indigenous organizations to deliver high-quality surge labour programs that meet environmental, community and industry standards.
