Delivering smarter water treatment services for
responsible mining operations across Canada.
Leader in mine water treatment
Combining our expertise with your challenges for responsible, sustainable and efficient management of mining water.
TerraMines Inc. is a Quebec-based company specializing in mine water treatment. We deliver solutions for mining water management that respond to the evolving demands of regulatory compliance, environmental responsibility, and operational efficiency. At the crossroads of engineering, environment, and regulation, we provide cutting-edge water technologies and tailor-made strategies for the unique challenges of water in the mining sector.
Our mission is clear: to protect the natural environment while ensuring the conformity of mining operations, thanks to high-performance, appropriate, and sustainable water treatment solutions. We intervene at every stage of the mine cycle – from exploration to closure – to prevent, control, and treat runoff, industrial effluents, process water, or specific contaminants such as heavy metals and acid mine drainage.
TerraMines expertise
TerraMines relies on a rigorous, collaborative, hands-on approach, in which each mine water treatment solution is developed in close consultation with the customer. Thanks to our experienced, multi-disciplinary team and our commitment to quality, we consistently meet the highest industry standards for mining water treatment in Canada.
Your Partner in Every Phase of the Mining Cycle
Exploration
Water issues: Minimal impact, but local drainage or borehole water may need to be managed from time to time.
- Advice on drilling water management.
- Preliminary hydrogeological risk assessment to plan early mine water treatment needs.
Feasibility study and permits
Water issues: Impact studies on local water resources, definition of future water treatment solution needs.
- Technical support for environmental studies.
- Modeling of water treatment scenarios (effluent, contact water).
- Recommendations on suitable technologies based on site-specific mining conditions.
Construction
Water issues: Runoff, site water, first management basins to be set up.
- Commissioning of temporary treatment systems.
- Supply and installation of equipment for the initial phases.
- Proactive management of stormwater and construction water.
Operating
Water issues: Ongoing management of process water, runoff, industrial wastewater, sometimes treatment of contaminated water (acids, metals, etc.).
- Operation and optimization of treatment systems.
- Continuous maintenance, monitoring and parameter adjustment.
- Reducing the volume of water to be treated through integrated solutions (reuse, separation).
Closing and post-closing
Water issues: Long-term management of residual water, basin stability, risk of acid mine drainage.
- Robust, passive solutions (constructed wetlands, low-maintenance systems).
- Environmental monitoring and water quality control.
- Planning the transition to autonomous systems that ensure sustainable mine closure.
By choosing TerraMines, mining companies are partnering with one of the most trusted mining water treatment companies in Canada, capable of transforming environmental constraints into opportunities for continuous improvement. We firmly believe that responsible mine water management is not only a regulatory issue, but also a key factor in operational performance, social acceptability, and long-term sustainability.
Custom Water Treatment Solutions for the Mining Industry
We provide site-specific water treatment services to address the full range of mining water challenges, from sediment control to complex industrial wastewater. Our team brings expertise in delivering adaptable, high-performance water treatment solutions tailored to the mining sector, using proven methods trusted by leading industrial water treatment providers. Every service is designed to ensure regulatory compliance, protect the environment, and integrate seamlessly with mining operations.
Water Reuse, Recycling, and Resource Recovery
We help mine operators reduce reliance on fresh water by promoting the reuse of treated water across operations. Through closed-loop systems, we support mine water treatment that enables recycling and reduced waste discharge. These strategies not only reduce environmental pressure but also enhance economic performance and long-term sustainability.
Stormwater and Construction Water Control
From early-stage land clearing to active construction, TerraMines manages stormwater and construction water using adaptive. We reduce sediment runoff, control discharge volumes, and ensure all temporary and permanent works meet environmental criteria. Our construction phase strategies align with overall mining water treatment goals to minimize ecological footprint and risk.
