Hecla Mining’s Casa Berardi is a gold mine and mill located in western Québec, some 95 kilometres north of La Serre. In 2018, the mine produced 130,647 ounces of gold and it has been in operation since 1989 and currently employs about 580 people.
Casa Berardi wanted to improve their productivity by reducing maintenance costs. To do that, the mine needed to cut down wear and tear on their equipment and they also needed to be able to monitor machines to catch equipment problems before they became major failures.
After installing Newtrax systems, Casa Berardi was able to see savings in several key areas: Equipment availability, maintenance costs, efficiency, and overall safety.
