Join us for a Lunch & Learn with Mike Young, Chief Executive Officer of Northback, as he provides a comprehensive update on the Grassy Mountain steelmaking coal project. With a background in geology and decades of experience leading mining operations from exploration through to full production, Mike will outline Northback’s revised mine plan and the path forward for this long-discussed development.
This session will cover economic benefits, responsible water management strategies, and how modern mining approaches can revitalize a project first envisioned more than fifty years ago. Attendees will gain clarity on Northback’s vision, the project’s current status, and what the next steps mean for industry, community, and regional opportunity.
Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity for attendees to participate in a Q&A session with Mike Young.
Whether you’re interested in economic impact, environmental considerations, or the future of steelmaking coal in Alberta, this Lunch & Learn will provide valuable insight into the Grassy Mountain project and Northback’s plans for moving it ahead.
