Gold miner intends to do away with diesel

 
Canadian gold miner Goldcorp is looking to eliminate diesel consumption at its mine sites, explaining that this will hugely improve working conditions by removing diesel particulate and other gases such as nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide from the workplace.  Goldcorp has started implementing its plan by introducing an electrically powered underground mobile fleet at the Borden gold mine, in Ontario, Canada, and aims to significantly improve the health and safety performance of the mine, while reducing its environmental footprint.
