Our Approach
Weave Holistic Sustainability into Every Operation
Our commitment to holistic sustainability is woven into the fabric of our company ethos. From our head office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to our rare earth projects in Canada and abroad, we foster sustainability in every aspect of our operations.
Health & Safety
We prioritize the well-being of our most valuable asset: our people. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond environmental concerns; it extends to the health and safety of every individual who contributes to our success. Rigorous safety protocols, ongoing training, and proactive health initiatives underscore our dedication to fostering a secure and healthy workplace.
Diversity & Inclusion
Our commitment extends beyond tokenism to meaningful action. By partnering with qualified engineers and consultants, we not only ensure top-notch expertise but also actively promote diversity within our workforce. SRMC takes pride in creating job opportunities in Saskatchewan, and abroad contributing to the local economy, and fostering career development.
Climate Change
Rare Earth Elements (REEs), integral to our mission, play a pivotal role in shaping a low-emission future, especially as the 2035 transportation evolution unfolds. Beyond extraction, we are dedicated to addressing climate change and green technologies through comprehensive measures that extend far beyond regulatory requirements. By mining responsibly and fostering a culture of environmental stewardship, we strive to be catalysts for positive change in the mining industry and beyond.
Environment Protection
At SRMC, we wholeheartedly embrace our responsibility to protect the natural world through forward-thinking initiatives. Our commitment to responsible, ESG-compliant resource extraction forms the bedrock of our sustainability ethos. In collaboration with the community and government, we actively champion eco-friendly and green practices, ensuring that our operations contribute positively to the environment.
Indigenous Rights
Emphasizing our dedication to Indigenous inclusion, SRMC is proud to have an Indigenous board member. This representation ensures that Indigenous perspectives, traditions, and values are integral to our decision-making processes. Moreover, we actively seek partnerships with local Indigenous communities, welcoming their investment and participation in every phase of our projects.
Green Economic Growth
At SRMC, we believe that responsible resource extraction is a cornerstone for fostering green economic growth and creating a sustainable future for generations to come. Our strategic acquisitions boast a significant amount of NdPr and Dysprosium, critical elements essential to achieving the ambitious goals outlined in Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy. Aligned with the principles of sustainability and social responsibility within Canadian government strategies, we have solidified our commitment through a Mutual Support Agreement (MSA) with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC). By mining and separating Rare Earth Elements (REEs) locally in Saskatchewan, we not only adhere to ethical practices but also contribute to the growth of the regional economy.
Our Ethos
True Success Is Achieved When Sustainability Is Coupled With a Commitment to Diversity, Inclusivity and Community Growth.
By actively engaging with local communities, Indigenous groups and qualified professionals, we are not just building a sustainable business; we are cultivating a legacy of positive impact and shared prosperity.
Our Policies & Standards
Understanding the importance of community engagement, SRMC prioritizes local hiring initiatives. By recruiting talent from the communities in which we operate, we contribute to the development of employment and career training opportunities. This approach not only strengthens the local workforce but also establishes lasting relationships with the communities we serve.

We actively engage and collaborate with Indigenous communities, recognizing their invaluable contributions, respecting their cultural heritage, and ensuring their equitable participation in our projects.
