The Brule Mine has once again won the Edward Prior Award for achieving the lowest frequency of Lost Time Injuries among all mines in British Columbia in 2023, with recorded work hours between 200,000 and 1 million. The mine accomplished an impressive 996,000 hours worked without a lost time injury. This is the third time Brule Mine has received this prestigious award, previously winning in 2017 and 2020. Conuma’s Wolverine Mine won the award in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
The Brule Mine team was invited to accept the award at the Mine Safety Awards in Victoria, BC, this year. Dan Callaway, the Brule Mine Manager, who accepted the award from Minister Josie Osbourne on behalf of Brule Mine, said, “I was honoured to receive the award on behalf of the whole Brule team, who has consistently focused on providing a safe work environment for all employees and on-site contractors. It was wonderful to see Brule recognized by the Ministry of Mines with the Edward Prior Award.”
