Inside SRC
SRC wrapped up another year of innovation and evolution with many long-term projects coming to fruition in 2025. With enhanced sensor-based sorting services, the completion of a custom microgrid project and the launch of an Indigenous Action Plan, we have had a lot to celebrate this year. Join us in revisiting some of the biggest highlights of 2025.
In the world of environmental testing, mineral exploration and mining, the accuracy and reliability of laboratory data are paramount. At SRC's Geoanalytical Laboratories and Environmental Analytical Laboratories, our commitment to quality assurance and quality control is the foundation for building trust with clients, regulators and stakeholders.
Radioactivity in mining is commonly associated with uranium but there are numerous other sources of it that can be found in the mining industry. While radioactivity is a natural phenomenon that needs to be managed, there are also cases where it can be used as a tool in driving exploration forward. It’s important then to understand what radioactivity is, how it’s encountered and the risks and benefits associated with it.
For over 45 years, SRC has helped important economic sectors operating on the Canadian Prairies keep a close eye on their air emissions to ensure they meet environmental standards and regulatory requirements, as well as to implement process improvements for emissions reduction strategies.
After a few years of extreme weather and record-breaking climate events, Saskatchewan’s weather took a more “average” turn in 2024. But there were still some new records achieved based on data from SRC’s Climate Reference Stations in Saskatoon and at the Conservation Learning Centre (CLC) near Prince Albert.
