CIMA+ receives 2026 ACEC-NL Engineering Excellence Award for Tacora Resources decarbonization initiative. St. John's, June 10, 2026 - CIMA+, one of Canada's largest private consulting engineering firms, announces that its Tacora Resources Scully Mine GHG Reduction Initiative received a 2026 ACEC-NL Engineering Excellence Award, in the category "Recognition for excellence in engineering", during the award ceremony held on June 9. Presented by the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies - Newfoundland and Labrador (ACEC-NL), the award recognizes engineering excellence, innovation and the positive impact of projects delivered throughout the province. Developed for Tacora Resources' Scully Mine operation in Wabush, Newfoundland and Labrador, the initiative supports the client's decarbonization objectives through a comprehensive, data-driven approach to energy management and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. CIMA+ conducted an integrated review of mining and milling operations to identify and prioritize high-impact opportunities to improve energy performance, reduce emissions and strengthen operational efficiency in response to rising energy costs and carbon pricing pressures. The project also enabled Tacora Resources to advance implementation measures and secure provincial and federal funding support. The first measure focuses on optimizing ore dryer performance, a major source of fuel consumption and GHG emissions at the site, while a second phase also currently underway includes the development of an energy management system to support long-term decarbonization efforts. The initiative also supported Tacora Resources' broader sustainability objectives by strengthening its approach to energy and GHG management, contributing to the continuous improvement efforts reflected in industry frameworks such as the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) program. "Receiving this recognition from ACEC-NL is particularly meaningful for CIMA+, as it reflects both the strength of our collaboration with Tacora Resources and our growing presence in Atlantic Canada," said Jeff Hynes, Executive Director, Energy and Resources and Atlantic Region Multisector Leader at CIMA+. "As our first engineering excellence award in Newfoundland and Labrador, this recognition reinforces the credibility and expertise our teams bring to complex industrial decarbonization projects across the region." "This award highlights the value of combining strategic advisory services with engineering expertise to help clients navigate complex energy and decarbonization challenges," said Christophe Jenkins, Lead Consultant at CIMA+, "While we are honoured to receive this recognition, the success of this initiative was also made possible by Tacora Resources' willingness to embrace new approaches and engage openly throughout the process. Meaningful decarbonization requires more than technical expertise. It requires a client that is prepared to challenge existing practices, evaluate opportunities through data and invest in long term improvements." About CIMA+.
